The market always goes through cycles of bear and bull markets. Long-term investors know that picking the right comeback stocks

Although the market may have hit a calm relative to the wild volatility witnessed earlier this month, we may not be out of the woods yet. Sure, the CBOE Volatility Index or the VIX has come down significantly from its earlier highs. As a contrarian indicator, this fear index rises when sentiment has turned sharply

For the past two years, inflation has proven to be the stock market’s No. 1 enemy. But this morning’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed that the inflation problem is largely behind us now. And as a result, stocks have the ‘green light’ to rally on.  Of course, CPI is widely considered the nation’s best

Last Monday’s market rout saw tech stocks, specifically AI stocks experience major selloffs as investors across the board decided to take profits from overvalued positions.

Nasdaq stocks are effectively navigating a rollercoaster market with resilience. Despite a recent flurry of challenges for the tech space, Nasdaq stocks have outperformed the S&P 500 in the past two months.

When volatility strikes the stock market as it sets new highs, investors get nervous. Wild swings in price can often signal a market top. After setting a new record high last month, the S&P 500 has peeled back 5% from that level. A string of upcoming economic indicators coming out this week could determine whether

Earlier this month, the CBOE Volatility Index or VIX shot higher, indicating extreme pessimism among investors. While not a directional index per say, the VIX measures anticipated market movement. Since equities tend to accelerate faster during downcycles than up, a heightened VIX is generally equivalent to negative expectations. Not surprisingly, several high-flying Nasdaq stocks suffered

Rising concerns about the economy and rate cuts have led to a mixed earnings season, low consumer spending and a stock sell-off.

A potential future trillion-dollar company, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) has seen impressive interest this year. The company’s strong performance this year has been driven by its AI-powered Snapdragon processors, which work for PCs, gaming, smartphones, and automotive models.

The S&P 500 is a well-recognized benchmark within the stock market. It holds shares in 500 companies and prioritizes them by market cap.

Earlier this month, Wharton’s Jeremey Siegel suggested that the Fed should “make an emergency 75 basis-point cut in the federal funds rate.” This suggestion came after a disappointing jobs report.

Every day we get closer to mining the final frontier, just like in science fiction. Space mining is a complicated task as you’d imagine. But it starts with surveying asteroids and other objects outside of our planet. The first goal is to identify bodies that are rich in resources society needs. Once identified, mining operations

With market volatility brought forth by Warren Buffett’s second-quarter share sales, the unwinding of Japan’s Yen carry trade, and the underwhelming U.S. jobs number, investor nerves have really been put to the test. The trio of concerning headlines may paint a terrifying picture for the rest of the year and perhaps part of 2025 when

The objective of healthy returns in a quick time is generally achieved by exposure to growth stocks. However, there are opportunities where blue-chip stocks can surge higher from undervalued levels. The advantage is that investors can have a low-beta portfolio that delivers returns that can potentially match the returns of a high-beta portfolio. The focus

For the most part, 2024 has been a year of relative success for financial stocks, as the sector has been able to provide strong returns to investors amid a U.S. economy that could be reaching a breakpoint for the average consumer.
