Silver prices are soaring in 2024, making it a prime time to consider which silver stocks to buy. Propelled by a combination of factors, including safe-haven demand due to escalating geopolitical tensions, expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts, speculative buying and a surge in industrial metals, silver price is up 15% year-to-date. The commodities sector,
5G stocks have an increasingly bad rap, as initial trends (reminiscent of blockchain enthusiasm, then artificial intelligence exuberance) pointed to every 5G company as a millionaire-maker. But, just as we saw with blockchain and are starting to see with AI, only a handful of companies are truly innovative and worth buying for the long-term: the
No stock can become a high-flyer overnight. It takes years and steady revenue growth for them to reach the peaks. Smart investors are aware of the fact that identifying under-the-radar stocks on time could lead to impressive returns in the long term. Technology is one of the fastest growing sectors in the economy. It has
There are some REITs to avoid in this continued “higher for longer” interest rate environment. These investment vehicles are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates due to their reliance on debt financing. In this economic climate, REITs with high leverage ratios, short-term debt maturities and limited cash flows may struggle to maintain profitability and dividend
The Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) was launched on July 12, 2021. The ETF included hydrogen stocks to buy that were benefiting from the global hydrogen industry. Nearly four years later, it has less than $38 million in net assets invested across 25 companies. The ETF itself has lost 79% of its value as of
There might be better times to invest in EV stocks, and I think now is the time to look for EV stocks to avoid instead. The sector is grappling with a myriad of challenges, with the biggest fishes losing a ton of value of late. With the sector’s bellwethers struggling, the situation for smaller players
Even though semiconductors and microchips are such an integral part of the global economy, there are still some chip stocks to avoid. It’s not because of a lack of demand or even customers, considering that nearly every country in the world needs microchips for one reason or another. Rather, the warning signs can be more insidious for retail investors who
What have you done for me lately? Imagine tripling sales and quadrupling profits, but it still is not good enough. Well, that’s what happened to Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) after its fiscal third-quarter earnings report, which just missed sales expectations. Super Micro Computer stock plummeted. Even though revenue surged to $3.85 billion from $1.28 billion
You can call it a correction, a selloff, or maybe the beginning of a crash. Whatever term you use to describe it, equity prices are falling. The tech-heavy Nasdaq index is still up 8% in 2024, but it’s down approximately 3% in April. That’s bringing down valuations in sectors like cybersecurity. However, for long-term investors,
Although the demand for inflation-resistant stocks has fallen in the past six to 12 months as consumer prices have moderated, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon isn’t convinced inflation has gone the way of the dodo bird. “Many key economic indicators today continue to be good and possibly improving, including inflation. But when looking ahead
Should you support a company if the government does? That’s a personal choice, of course. However, there’s no denying that Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) will have a huge advantage with the government’s financial support. For that reason, it makes perfect sense to buy Micron Technology stock now. Really, it’s not a question of whether the Micron share
Curious why a veteran trader believes the market will scream higher by summer? Or why he believes the recent lows from the past few weeks might be the lowest point for the rest of 2024? You’ll find out now because Jeff Remsburg, the editor of the daily InvestorPlace Digest, just finished up an interview with
Companies have clearly defined goals: to grow their customer base, brand power, and global influence, compete with giants like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Meta (NASDAQ:META), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), and join the shortlist of trillion-dollar stocks. While this sounds great, reaching a trillion-dollar market cap is a tough mountain to climb. Companies on
Traditionally, consumer staples stocks are seen by the Street primarily as safe havens during recessions. But that tradition was formed during a 50-year period in which America experienced very little of what we’re seeing now: relatively strong economic growth and relatively high inflation. During such periods, some staples providers are often able to raise prices
Growth stocks have been huge winners over the past 18 months. Investors have shrugged off the sector’s 2022 bust and returned to growth and technology names with great enthusiasm. This move makes sense. The Federal Reserve’s planned rate cuts for later this year could be a major catalyst for the growth names in particular. And
Detroit’s comeback is nothing short of a miracle. As a city, it was dead and buried as recently as 2013, when it declared bankruptcy with more than $18 billion in debt. It has come a long way since those dark days. It’s not perfect — no city is. However, it’s attracting attention from various places,
The U.S. GDP saw a modest increase of 1.6% in the first quarter. This fell short of the expected 2.4% growth rate leading to a brief period of downturn in the stock market. Amidst this, savvy investors are looking for AI stocks to buy. Despite the broader market’s volatility, AI companies continue to innovate and
When it comes to finding the market-beating stocks of the future, you may want to look at stocks that are currently crushing it. Yes, past performance is not indicative of future returns, but many of the top-performing stocks have what it takes to continue winning. For instance, top-performers are can often be companies that operate
There is probably no investor more closely scrutinized than Warren Buffett. Whether by Wall Street analysts or individual investors, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A)(NYSE:BRK-B) has his every buy, sell and hold decision dissected six ways to Sunday. And it’s not without cause. Since becoming CEO at Berkshire in 1964, Buffett has
The economy continues to give investors mixed signals. Inflation remains at higher-than-average levels — compared to the Federal Reserve’s preferred 2% target. But that hasn’t satiated the demand for airline travel. That doesn’t mean, however, that every airline is a good investment. Poor analyst sentiment suggests there are several airline stocks to avoid. The last
