The recent Bitcoin (BTC-USD) might have cooled down, with the price dropping well below $30,000.

Rate hike sensitive stocks have had a tough time recently, but once those hikes end, stand back and watch these names fly.

As electric vehicle sales continue to surge, it’s clear that this is a space that’s ripe for long-term growth. However, many investors may be dissuaded from investing in the sector, who believe that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has already provided all the growth there is. Most other EV stocks simply won’t make it.

Solid-state batteries technology boasts superior energy density, safety, and longevity compared
Electric vehicle (EV) stocks have proven profitable for investors, providing multibagger returns.

Portfolio manager Andrew Graham appeared in CNBC’s “Ask an Advisor” op-ed segment in mid-April. The founder and managing partner of Jackson Square Capital provided investors with a clue as to where they should look for AI opportunities: [T]he safer bets could be on the companies that will help make [artificial intelligence] a reality, regardless of
Sooner or later, investors will stop fearing the “phantom recession,” i.e. the recession that really doesn’t exist except in many economists’ imaginations. At that point, many growth stocks should come soaring back. The latest evidence supporting my “phantom recession” theory came last week, when S&P reported that the U.S. private sector Purchasing Managers’ Index for April came
The global agritech market was estimated to be worth $19.5 billion in 2021, according to research consulting firm Spherical Insights.
