Stocks to buy

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

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

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

It’s hard to find the best tech stocks to buy because technology stocks have been crushed like tin cans in this year’s market selloff. Ever since the 2008-09 financial crisis, technology stocks have posted outsized gains compared to just about any other category of securities. Between 2011 and 2021, the technology-laden Nasdaq index gained 440%,

Biotech stocks have performed relatively well compared to the broader market of late. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEARCA:XBI) is up 21% over the past three months compared with a 6% gain for the S&P 500. Biotech stocks have a reputation for being high-risk investments. The underlying firms spend a ton on research and development

In 2021, companies within the fintech sector raised well over $120 billion. Roughly $1 out of every $5 of venture capital funding went to a fintech startup. Clearly, many large investors were enthusiastic about fintech firms. For those who also want to get on this bandwagon, I will present seven fintech stocks to buy for

The idea that anyone could have a problem with Joe Biden’s cancer moonshot is unimaginable. After all, who hasn’t had a friend or relative affected by cancer?  My dad died from a combination of prostate and bone cancer. Now, you could argue that, at 81, old age might have done him in, regardless of the

Years ago, I  heard Leon Cooperman, widely viewed as a legendary investors, say that there are two types of stock investors: those who like to find stocks to buy that are rising and those who like to buy equities on weakness. Usually, I’m in the latter group. Once in a while, however, I do like

This year has been a particularly rough year for growth stocks. The severe macroeconomic climate has led to a broad risk-off investment sentiment, forcing investors toward defensive plays. On the positive side, there are plenty of opportunities to buy well-known growth names at discounted valuations. For example, the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:VUG), one of the largest
