Investors who have a high exposure to stocks in 2022 probably wish the year would end. Unless they raised their allocation in cash, their losses in the portfolio are mounting. The war in Ukraine earlier this year increased energy costs in Europe. This raised the pace of inflation. Globally, most countries faced unprecedented inflation rates.
Stocks to buy
It’s been a banner year for energy stocks. With oil prices cresting above $120 a barrel and continuing to trade in a range between $85 and $105, energy companies are reaping record profits and issuing incredible earnings. Many energy companies have announced net income that is up more than 3,000% from year-earlier levels. It all
This may be your best chance to find Dow stocks to buy on the dip, although that might not seem intuitive given the current market climate. Still, if you have a long time horizon and a reasonable risk outlook, this may be the time to not only stay in equities but to make opportunistic buys.
If we look at the past few decades, the S&P 500 has witnessed some big crashes. However, the market has remained in an uptrend. The same holds true for industries that have multiyear tailwinds. Electric vehicle stocks have paused after a big rally. However, this growth story is still in the early stages. Therefore, I’ve
For a few months, I’ve believed that both inflation and stocks were bottoming. Now prominent JPMorgan analyst Marko Kolanovic is making the same call. Thanks to the bear market, shares of companies with good fundamentals and strong outlooks are drastically undervalued. Nowhere is this more evident than on the Nasdaq exchange, which has fallen much
Possibly the greatest development in the broader digitalization sphere, quantum computers feature the potential to change everything we know about machine-driven calculations, thus auguring very well for cheap quantum computing stocks. Essentially, the transition is the rough equivalent of a combustion car versus an electric vehicle. Rather than cycling through each gear as velocity increases,
For growth investors, technology-related companies have been a great place to park investment capital over the last decade. With new innovation, there’s been solid growth, which investors have paid handsomely for. Accordingly, for those seeking the best returns possible, focusing on top tech stocks to buy has been a winning strategy. However, this year, investors aren’t paying
Featuring one of the market’s love-hate affairs, the relevant-though-controversial category of oil stocks to buy will likely become increasingly intriguing to investors. Facing what could be a brutal winter for much of the world, geopolitical tensions cynically facilitate upside catalysts for hydrocarbon-related companies. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said it succinctly in a CNN interview. “This
Water stocks help investors focus on one of the most fundamental aspects of life on Earth. All organisms, including humans, need water to stay alive. It is reported that water makes up about 70% of human body weight. Water and power are also critical in keeping the world’s economies growing and producing. But water is
[Editor’s note: “Hydrogen Fuel Gives Rise to an $11 Trillion Revolution” was previously published in May 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] The best investments — with the potential to mint millionaires — are often found in places where most aren’t looking. Follow that thread of logic, and
My son became an investor this year, taking a job that pays more than his single, frugal lifestyle consumes. He asked me what stocks he might buy with just $100. It was a difficult question. Finding the best stocks for $100 presents a lot of unique challenges. The easy answer is, if a broker allows
[Editor’s note: “The Explosive Quantum Computing Stock to Save the World” was previously published in March 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] I’m a history junkie. So, let me start by sharing an interesting story from history that I bet a lot of you have never heard before.
I recently saw a tweet from Charlie Bilello highlighting the top-performing S&P 500 stocks of the past 5, 10, 15, and 20 years. The top performers in each of these periods were once small company stocks. For example, over the past 20 years, Monster Beverage (NASDAQ:MNST) delivered a cumulative return of 134,341%. A $1,000 invested
The three Chinese tech stocks profiled in this column are well-positioned to rebound during the rest of the year. In recent months, U.S. investors have been hesitant to include Chinese shares in their portfolios. That’s partly due to increased volatility as a result of country-specific political risks as well as the slowdown of global economic
If your initial instinct is that penny stocks represent extraordinarily risky ideas that feature little chance for success, you would be 100% correct. Clearly, conservative or risk-averse investors will find this subsegment of the market anathema to their approach. At the same time, no one investor is identical to the other. Considering the wider audience,
Once upon a time, Tesla (TSLA) was the “golden goose” in the electric vehicle industry. It burst onto the scene as the first major pure EV maker in the early 2010s. By the middle of the decade, Elon Musk & Co. commanded about 10% of the global electric car market. In 2019 and 2020, the
Can you handle an all-or-nothing bet? Here’s one to consider: AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ:ASTS) stock, a very different kind of private space company than others you’ve probably heard about. It took a while, but AST SpaceMobile finally just launched a test satellite into orbit. This is encouraging, but after inspecting the company’s financials, you might have a
In financial markets, cash flows, growth outlook and valuation does matter. However, investor sentiment plays a key role in driving growth stocks higher or lower. When the economic outlook is positive and the financial system has ample liquidity, growth stocks tend to command a valuation premium. On the other hand, when the economic outlook weakens
Finding the right EV stocks to buy can be confusing. A flurry of new overseas and domestic startups and established automakers led to robust market activity, with several companies soaring to mega-cap valuations. Due to challenging macroeconomic conditions, EV stocks have fallen from all-time highs achieved last year. Nevertheless, the long-term bull case for EV
Last week, I wrote about trends that investors simply cannot ignore right now, even in the midst of a bear market. While a bear market has enveloped the stock market and nearly swallowed individual stocks whole, there are still some bright spots. One such bright spot was cybersecurity stocks. While the economy has been hitting
