Stocks to buy

Just when you thought the banking sector fallout was behind us, rumblings in Europe confirmed that bank stocks once again will likely dominate business news outlets for weeks to come. While the mainstream media can sometimes lead to ambulance-chasing histrionics, this time around, the anxieties appear justified. Still, I thought it would be a nice

With global market and economic fears once again rising to the forefront, investors may want to consider cash-rich companies that can weather any storm. Fundamentally, enterprises that carry plenty of green in their pockets should be able to navigate whatever curveballs the gatekeepers of the economy decide to throw. For that, I filtered out stocks

In a world where cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, the demand for cybersecurity solutions is at an all-time high. Two industry leaders, Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) and CrowdStrike  (NASDAQ:CRWD), protect businesses from cyberattacks. Meanwhile, Nice (NASDAQ:NICE) leads the charge in cutting-edge contact center software. If you want to know more about why these are cybersecurity

Be it growth or blue-chip stocks, a key success factor is to invest in undervalued names. This might sound simple, but the rule is often ignored. There are low P/E stocks in challenging market conditions, and with fear being the dominant sentiment, investors stay away. When the valuation gap closes and the market surges, stocks

A new United Nations report on climate change puts renewed focus on the growing influence of green energy and what seems to be the massive potential of solar stocks. The U.N. report released in March says there’s “a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all” by cutting harmful

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has gone on an impressive run over the past two weeks, rallying 38%. In fact, the cryptocurrency looks like it may be on its way back to $30,000.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2025, 35% of the world’s electricity supply will be renewable energy. If that’s not a reason to consider renewable energy stocks to buy, I don’t know what is.  In fact, according to the IEA, most of the increased demand for electricity over the next three years will

Investors are always looking to tap into lucrative long-term market opportunities to build wealth over time. Perhaps one of the most exciting trends has been the metaverse, which catapulted to fame following Facebook’s much-talked-about name change to Meta in late 2021. Following the announcement, the investing world started scouting the market for some of the

With the world trying to reach net zero carbon emissions, carbon capture stocks have taken center stage. Not only that, the Biden Administration has already pledged $3.7 billion to help kickstart the industry and achieve climate objectives. However, in order to achieve those objectives, carbon capture will need to be prove itself profitable. Without profit,

While penny stocks almost always attract investors’ attention at some point, they’re also wildly unpredictable and risky. Yes, some people do enjoy lifechanging profitability. But listening to these stories only and not considering the myriad failures that surround this space represents a critical consequence of survivorship bias. Still, the reality is that people will gravitate

After a brutal 2022, we’ve seen a resurgence in tech stocks so far in 2023. Many stocks in this group have climbed 50% or more so far to start the year. While those types of gains in such a short span seem unsustainable, they do have investors looking for growth stocks to buy and hold.

For investors that have the patience to ride out volatility in exchange for possible long-term upside, value stocks to buy that are discounted against book value may offer considerable intrigue.

Clean energy stocks are expected to see continued growth. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. power generation from new renewables (primarily wind and solar) is expected to reduce coal and natural gas-fired energy production through 2024 at least. This pivot away from fossil fuel energy is a strong signal to investors that clean

Let’s start by stating the obvious – the recent banking meltdown certainly isn’t a positive for investors. When SVB Financial (NADSAQ:SIVB) and other banks failed, investors confidence in the financial sector has taken a hit.

Editor’s note: “Quantum Computing Stocks Offer Life-Changing Wealth Potential for Long-Term Investors” was previously published in January 2023.

Investing in dividend stocks is a preferred method for those looking to enjoy a passive income stream in retirement. Of course, there’s plenty of market uncertainty right now that could dissuade investors from this group.

Many people find investing in the stock market intimidating, given the sheer number of possibilities, and no assurance of return. Of course, there are plenty of money manager out there, willing to help individuals along, for a price. Warren Buffett is among the best investors of all time, providing access to a conglomerate of world-class

Financial stocks have tanked in the aftermath of the recent banking crisis, and SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has been among them. When fear, uncertainty, and doubt (or FUD) about bank stocks took hold in early March, following the collapse of SVB Financial’s (NASDAQ:SIVB) Silicon Valley Bank, SOFI stock experienced a sharp slide in price. However,

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is more than a graphics processing unit maker for video game consoles. The company is also deeply involved in the artificial intelligence space. Even if you believe that NVDA stock has gone too high and can’t keep going, think again. A fresh upgrade indicates that Nvidia’s shareholders may enjoy more gains before the year is

For this column, I will define “hot gaming stocks” as companies in the gambling and video-game sectors that have positive momentum.
