The artificial intelligence boom shows no signs of cooling, creating a big opportunity for some of the best AI stocks. Grand View Research says the global AI market could grow from about $137 billion in 2022 to more than $1.81 trillion by 2030.

The travel industry is booming, and Memorial Day weekend was proof that Americans are ready to pack their bags and fly away!

As the potential of blockchain becomes increasingly apparent across various industries, investors are keen to identify undervalued blockchain stocks that have the potential to deliver substantial returns in the coming years. This has led to my list of blockchain stocks to buy for June this year. As the blockchain industry continues to mature and gain

The timing is perfect for loading up on dividend stocks as market experts expect the S&P 500 to increase 4% in June following a 5% rise in May as three potential rate cuts loom, possibly boosting already solid corporate profitability. Meanwhile, 97% of S&P 500 companies reported first-quarter results that were 3% better than consensus.

You may have heard the pithy investing mantra to “sell in May and go away.” Because stocks tend to underperform during the summer months, the idea is to sit them out and wait for better opportunities in the fall. I don’t invest that way. I prefer to put my money to work at regular intervals

Travel stocks are an obvious example of a seasonal trading play as demand for travel services responds to changes in weather. Ski resorts experience increased demand during the winter months. However, many industries, such as hotels in resort locations, airlines, cruise lines and restaurants, see a summer demand surge. Typically, June delivers strong performance. So,

Penny stocks are risky. That’s why we attach a warning to the tail-end of penny stock articles. It’s also why the SEC warns of their dangers. “Penny stocks may trade infrequently — which means that it may be difficult to sell penny stock shares once you have them. Because it may also be difficult to

The Nasdaq Composite, which holds a number of big-name tech stocks, experienced a bit of selling pressure last week. In particular, the index fell nearly 2%. This potentially creates an opening for savvy investors to buy up shares of stocks that appear undervalued. One growth sector worth looking into would be quantum computing. Most people

Low-price dividend stocks are among my favorite bets. A small investor can afford to build a portfolio of regular cash income from these stocks. Of course, the beta of these ideas is not as low as blue-chip dividend stocks. However, the focus of this column is on fundamentally strong undervalued dividend stocks under $10. Backed

The pandemic-driven transition from cash to digital payments has brought about a significant change in the financial services industry, and this change is here to stay. The global financial sector is going through a shift as people move from cash to online payments, increased card usage, and mobile banking. This not only adds convenience to our lives but has also brought

In accordance with my previous prediction, silver prices have generally been making higher highs and higher lows since mid-February. As a result, the metal’s price has jumped from $22.39 per ounce on Feb. 14 to $30.56 per ounce on May 31. And on May 28, UBS raised its forecasts for silver prices by $4 per

2023 was a very tough year for solar stocks overall. The Federal Reserve’s decision to hike interest rates several times made borrowing much more expensive, resulting in lower profitability for solar firms.

In the last year or so, I’ve noticed an interesting pattern involving JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), the largest U.S. bank. Specifically, CEO Jamie Dimon sounds rather fearful about the U.S. economy in his widely followed speeches, but the bank buys huge amounts of the stocks of many companies. For example, in February, Dimon told CNBC that

With the market presenting challenges for investors, the case for trustworthy dividend stocks naturally rises. Providing a mixture of relatively predictable businesses with consistent passive income, these stalwart enterprises offer one of the best ways to stave off market jitters. Plus, it’s possible that monetary policy could end up favoring these income providers. Should the

Chinese stocks don’t always have the best reputation among American traders. While these businesses can often hold sound theses and financials, the wildcard of potential government intervention or macroeconomic concerns can easily throw off your entire investment rationale. Risks mount up compared to other foreign companies With so much uncertainty, undervalued Chinese stocks are considered

Retail stocks are never seen as compounders that can provide outsized returns. Of course, that narrative has changed this year with the performance of Abercrombie and Fitch (NYSE:ANF). Over the past year, ANF has returned more than 440%.  Of course, not all retail stocks will provide you with these returns. But just like any other

There are many ways to make it in business. Most management teams tend to paint within the lines, copying and mimicking the strategies that have worked for industry leaders. And there’s nothing wrong with that. People use tried and true playbooks for a reason. That said, some of the best investments can come when management
