Retail stocks shook the earnings landscape with a few notable Q3 earnings surprises. The trend was not only seen in retail stock earnings but also in a broader surprise across the S&P 500.

Currently, quantum computing stocks stand out as the frontier of tech innovation, given their critical role in reshaping sectors from finance to healthcare.

Passive income helps investors retire with less financial stress. Passive income can take care of extra bills, but it can also cover your living expenses if you invest in dividend stocks for a long enough amount of time.

For the naysayers, listening to arguments for investing in precious metals stocks can sound like a broken clock. They may eventually be right, but at times there have been better short-term investment options.

Smart home stocks are worthy companies for you to consider. I love investing in these companies because they are mostly undercovered brands in the financial media. While investors push up the valuations of marquee brands, these smart home stocks are quietly improving their fundamentals and business outlook for the future, and many can be bought

Warren Buffett is sitting on a stack of cash, leaving investors wondering where he’ll deploy his capital to next.

He’s now holding $157 billion in cash, collecting interest, and waiting for the right

I recently saw an article in The New York Times about the rising costs of elder care. These reports of financial ruin have become all too common in the U.S. The same goes for Canada, where I live. Only the very wealthiest are growing old with dignity. The rest of us are left to cope

Soaring from the pages of science fiction into reality, flying cars are igniting the skies of innovation. Moreover, amidst the choppiness in the stock market, the valuations of top flying car stocks have become more attractive, presenting a long-term opportunity for forward-thinking investors. Currently, a handful of trailblazing companies are steering the development of these

Everyone’s definition of a must-buy stock is different.  I remember writing about Church & Dwight (NYSE:CHD) in 2016 when it was on one heck of a heater, as they say in sports—up 9% year to date (YTD) through April, working on its 11th consecutive year of market gains.  I suggested it was still a buy

Before starting the discussion on eco-friendly stocks, we’ve got to discuss the giant pink gorilla in the room. This sector stinks, badly. According to a recent report by The Globe and Mail, many investors doubt the pace of the broader green energy transition. Because of the ambiguities, many if not most market participants decided that

Following in the footsteps of esteemed investing juggernauts, the ideal of chasing even the best global stocks should generally come second to targeting enterprises in the U.S. It’s going to ruffle some feathers but the harsh reality is that the U.S. represents the greatest economic power in the world. And it’s hard to believe that

When looking at the broader innovation space, it’s the usual suspects that helped drive sentiment forward, which may provide an “air bubble” opportunity for under-the-radar tech stocks. Basically, with so much attention paid to a select few enterprises, investors can pivot toward the path less traveled. From a pure commons sense perspective, targeting hidden gem

Accordingly, as a company focused on providing enterprise AI solutions, AI stock continues to be among the top choices for

Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) has seen a remarkable 230% year-to-date surge in its stock. Indeed, ACHR stock is among the top growth stocks on many investors’ radar, with a strong business development focus and intriguing product launches. Ending Q3 2023 with a $600 million liquidity buffer, Archer is well-positioned for commercialization in 2025. The company is expanding

Recession-resistant stocks are crucial for maintaining stable, long-term portfolio returns. Economic cycles, marked by expansions and contractions, influence market performance. Diversifying across multiple assets is key to navigating emerging risks. Indeed, while specific sectors like consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities are considered recession-proof, success is not guaranteed by simply choosing companies within these sectors. However,
