Stocks to buy

There’s a long list of beaten-down stocks to buy, and plenty of reasons to get excited about a potential recovery.  For one, we just learned that retail sales were up 1.3% in Sept., which was better than expectations for 1%. Meanwhile, members of the Federal Reserve appear to be less strict with future interest rate

Growth and tech stocks have taken a massive hit this year due to a range of macro factors. Soaring inflation has led to hawkish monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. This hasn’t helped supply chains, which remain bottlenecked around the world. For electric vehicle (EV) stocks, this has been a perfect recipe for lower valuations,

In June 2021, I wrote an article for InvestorPlace entitled the 10 Best Stocks to Buy That Will Get You Through the Day. It was based on my “everyday investing” strategy which helps identify attractive stocks that will perform well in the long term.  I got the concept from Peter Lynch, the successful Fidelity portfolio

When Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-B) posted operating earnings growth of 20%, this reaffirmed how well Warren Buffett and its team manage the conglomerate. The company benefited from impressive net income from its insurance investment, as sell as surging profits from its utility and energy holdings. With these strong operating earnings, Berkshire has been able to improve

With the holiday season about to kick off, it’s time to decide whether to add to, cut back on or hold your position in Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock. It’s a tough choice to make as inflation remains “sticky” and e-commerce businesses are under pressure. Nonetheless, Amazon is responding with proactive cost-cutting measures, and it makes sense to

Rumble (NASDAQ:RUM), an operator of video streaming sites, is no stranger to controversy and not just controversy stemming from the political nature of much of the content on its platforms. As I discussed recently, RUM stock itself has been the subject of controversy, after a widely-read “short report” dropped last month that called into question

As inflation and spiraling interest rate hikes continue to dominate the discussions of most investors, the stock market continues to see bearish momentum build. Many investors are growing increasingly apprehensive about what next year may hold. Accordingly, many are choosing to add exposure to high-yielding dividend stocks over growth stocks, as uncertainty reigns supreme. This

With fears rising regarding a global economic slowdown, investors should consider recession-resistant stocks to batten down the hatches. Fundamentally, one of the biggest concerns that analysts cited centers on global central banks tightening their money supply. Reduced liquidity almost certainly signals deflation if left unchecked, which translates to reduced business activity. That’s going to be

In 2021, meme stocks or investments that generated intense grassroots interest (typically via public internet forms) were all the rage. In 2022? Not so much. Throughout this year, shifting market and macroeconomic forces exposed many if not most memes as pure speculation. Usually, this translates to hot garbage. However, some high-risk wagers earned respect. Whether

With inflation starting to turn the corner, Luke believes 2022’s pain is about to turn into 2023’s gain! And it’s not just inflation. Every single metric that turned this market into a bear market is now flashing indicators that the tide is turning yet again. It seems a rally is on the horizon. Recall that

When the “smart money” talks, I listen. And that smart money right now is betting big on a single EV stock that could dethrone Tesla.  Specifically, hedge funds collectively bought nearly 37 million shares of this EV stock last quarter. That made it the single-most bought EV stock by hedge funds in the third quarter

If we look at the price action for cannabis stocks in the last five years, it’s largely been disappointing. However, there have been two instances where cannabis stocks have skyrocketed in hopes of legalization. During these euphoric surges, returns from cannabis stocks have been five to ten folds. There is again an air of optimism

There’s no denying that neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is divisive. After all, this is a company that wants to disrupt personal finance as we know it. However, this doesn’t mean SOFI stock can’t move higher. If the Federal Reserve eases up on its course of interest rate hikes, and if SoFi Technologies can continue to

Until recently, Huadi International (NASDAQ:HUDI) stock was quite obscure. However, this traditional steel pipe and tube manufacturer is undergoing a major transition. Soon, HUDI stock could be an unexpected ESG (environmental, social and governance) investment for risk-tolerant financial traders. It’s no secret that renewable energy development is a priority for the Chinese government. Yet, curious

Some good news is finally starting to creep into the markets with inflation easing in October. However, GDP growth remains a concern. That’s a key reason why growth-focused penny stocks are trading at depressed valuations. This is still not a market where investors can aggressively take positions in high beta stocks. Accordingly, I would remain

As the bear market came barreling through 2022, growth stocks and tech stocks took the brunt of the beating. However, one theme that stood strong was cybersecurity. As a result, that should have investors looking at cybersecurity stocks to buy. Let’s face the facts, though. Cybersecurity stocks also took a good beating, as they too

Despite the recent rebound of many U.S. stocks, the S&P 500 is still down 17% in 2022. It’s also 8% below its Aug. high. Yet the unweighted S&P 500 index is doing much better, down only 11% this year and just 4.5% off its Aug. high. The outperformance of the unweighted S&P 500 indicates that

All bear markets eventually turn into new bull markets. And an overwhelming amount of evidence today suggests the 2022 bear market is about to turn into a 2023 bull market.  Stocks crashed in 2022 because of a confluence of adverse macroeconomic trends. Inflation soared. The Fed aggressively hiked interest rates. Fixed income yields soared. Corporate
