As a result, REITs typically have higher yields than the broader market. Of course, along with high yields can come high risk. This

You may have noticed that tech stocks are on fire this year. But did you know that they’ve actually never been hotter? The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index is up more than 37% year-to-date. That marks the Nasdaq’s best yearly performance through June ever. Tech stocks have never had a better start to a calendar year. 

Recently, my articles have largely spotlighted stocks promising both growth and value. It’s my conviction that these types of stocks are poised for impressive gains. Amidst Wall Street’s preoccupation with trending sectors, several niche companies remain overlooked. This has led to the rise of cheap stocks for bear market if one arises. These under-the-radar companies

In general, dividend stocks are associated with blue-chip names that have a low-beta and are worth holding for the long term.

Investors looking to aggressively grow their portfolio should hunt for hypergrowth stocks. These are stocks that have outperformed the market by a wide margin, in some cases doubling their share price in a year and rising by more than 500% in five years.

While it has been a dream of many, it is now a reality. The hydrogen economy is slowly transforming our reality, and we can see a massive reduction in hydrogen fuel cell costs

At one point, the metaverse was the talk of the town. Companies like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) spent billions of dollars on its development only to watch it fizzle and fade. However, don’t be so quick to write off the digital world just yet. With the help of artificial intelligence, the metaverse could get a second

The conventional definition of a penny stock is one that trades below $1. However, it’s more common to define a penny stock as any stock that trades for less than $5.

The markets have recently gained momentum, with the S&P 500 trending roughly 15% higher for the year. In general, any market rally starts with blue-chip stocks, and the bullish momentum spreads to growth and penny stocks. I am not suggesting that the global economy is out of the woods quite yet. However, in my view,

 One of the things I like to do occasionally to have fun with my stock selection process is to come up with creative ideas for identifying companies to recommend to readers.

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity, several EV stocks have emerged as successful investments. While Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been a standout performer, the market has matured, offering numerous opportunities beyond the well-known EV pioneer. Additionally, the EV sector has become increasingly competitive, presenting a range of options for investors seeking the “next Tesla.” It’s important

Fundamentally, the concept of millionaire-maker renewable energy stocks makes plenty of sense. At the moment, the energy paradigm focuses on the anachronistic non-renewable variety. However, political and environmental pressures dictate that we move away from hydrocarbons. Therefore, if you have the patience, long-term renewable energy investments could potentially deliver life-changing returns. The latter point should

Perhaps one of the most controversial topics, on surface level, the concept of analyst upgraded stocks should seem a no-brainer.
