While investors’ eyes remain glued on the big names in artificial intelligence, endless other companies are integrating AI technology more quietly. Not every company actively chooses to rebrand as an AI specialist, even while benefiting from its popularity. Yet, savvy investors who know some of the best AI stocks to watch out for may not
With a lot of uncertainty in the market from geopolitics down to monetary policy, jittery investors may find comfort in hedge fund picks.

Generally, the idea of selling securities rankles the public’s nerve, yet trimming overbought stocks is just as important a discipline as knowing what to buy.

Who are you going to believe? The short-sellers or leading artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)?

Sometimes the Street focuses on the wrong metrics and gets worried about problems that, in the long run, are actually pretty insignificant. For example, I remember that in the early 2010s, many investors were very concerned about Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) margins and spending.

While eagerly awaiting a Fed rate cut, we were surprised with a hotter-than-expected inflation report. This means the rate cuts could be delayed, and we might have to wait a few more months before an improvement in consumer spending.

In the biotech and pharmaceutical world, FDA approval is the number one needle mover for drug stocks. Why? Because FDA approval for a drug or treatment can bring years or even decades of steady, high-margin revenue.

The consumer price index accelerated at a faster pace than expected in March. This has dashed hopes of a rate cut anytime soon. When the Federal Reserve meets towards the end of the month, there is likely to be more clarity on the policy stance. An important point to note is that markets are prone
