Semiconductor stocks and the companies they represent are ready for big things in 2024. One research firm claims that 2024 will kickstart a prolonged 20% CAGR trend next year, with artificial intelligence and vehicle-centric utility leading the way. Of course, this year marked record runs for mega-sized semiconductor stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). But Nvidia and
If you had to bet on two “big picture” sectors to invest in for the long haul, you can’t go wrong with technology or healthcare. Both are omnipresent and, in their own ways, on the cutting edge of global innovation that cement their longevity as investable opportunities. But combine the two into healthcare technology stocks,
As the year ends, penny stocks for 2024 are increasingly catching the eye of investors seeking high-growth opportunities in a market brimming with potential. Despite high-interest rates, rising inflation, and possible recession fears, penny stocks are gaining momentum. The market is still determining if these challenges are fully priced, suggesting potential volatility. Yet, many penny
In general, when we talk about 50% to 100% returns in a year, it’s associated with growth stocks. However, there are instances where blue-chip stocks outperform backed by valuation factors or some major catalysts. A good example is Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock that has surged by 242% for year-to-date. Similarly, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock has trended higher
There was a time when investors used to avoid heavily shorted stocks. Building-up of short interest indicates a bearish view of the stock, translating into a sustained correction.

The fashion industry, long criticized for its substantial environmental impact, is undergoing a major transformation. Recognized for contributing 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and being a major water consumer, the sector is shifting gears towards sustainable fashion technology.

Before getting into the driving factor behind Warren Buffett stocks, let me tell you what it’s not. In fact, let me tell you the opposite of Oracle-of-Omaha-approved equities. You know those TikTok videos where people just start randomly dancing in public? That’s a thing. However, I have a feeling that this trend won’t last long.
There finally seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for growth stocks. As we head into 2024, the Nasdaq index has steadily begun recovering. While it still has a way to go before reaching its 2021 peak, I believe it’s only a matter of time. The economy is showing positive signs as
The cybersecurity industry has experienced rapid growth as hacking attempts become more frequent. Gartner forecasts global spending on cybersecurity to reach $215 million by 2024. That represents about a 14.3% increase from estimated 2023 spending levels, with no end in sight. For investors, this presents an opportunity to buy into cybersecurity stocks early. Cybersecurity spending
While the concept of short-squeeze stocks has been all the rage throughout most of the pandemic-disruption cycle, we may have been doing this all wrong. Rather, it’s time to address this speculative practice under a three-dimensional lens. First, market gamblers shouldn’t just focus on short interest as a percentage of float. Don’t get me wrong.
Value stocks to watch is the equity market’s version of Godzilla Minus One. When released in the U.S., the understanding was that it would only feature a limited run. After all, foreign-language films don’t really do so well here. But then, the film earned critical acclaim, inspiring other moviegoers to check it out. And that’s
Cybersecurity is a fast-growing industry, so it can be intimidating to come to terms with cybersecurity stocks to sell for fear of making a wrong decision. As more people work from home and businesses switch to cloud-based platforms to better serve customers or harness the power of generative artificial intelligence, cybersecurity will become even more
Fintech stocks still have a lot of potential to deliver solid gains for investors. These companies are pioneering how we transact money and sometimes challenge the nature of money with the case of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC-USD). In either case, we will see a continued disruption in how we use and think about money,
Companies must operate in sectors with unprecedented growth to reach a $1 trillion market cap. Growth stocks can certainly help investors get there. As businesses increasingly harness the power of artificial intelligence to enhance the decision-making processes, three stocks stand out as strong contenders to reach the $1 trillion club. These companies not only exemplify
As we wind down the year, it’s time to consider which long-term stocks for 2024 should be on your buy list. You might be able to make quick money in the short term through buying and selling, but if you want to build a portfolio for retirement or want to leave a legacy for your
The outsized returns of the S&P 500 this year were driven by the returns of just a handful of stocks. Remove the so-called Magnificent 7 from the equation and the benchmark index’s performance was relatively flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, on the other hand, enjoyed a much more broad-based movement higher. This is what
Work-from-home stocks are highly promising, given the rise in popularity of remote work as a phenomenon. Office vacancy rates are at 16.1%, which is a five-year high. Moreover, vacancy rates have formed an exponential trend due to the work-from-home concept gaining popularity across corporates. Many corporations called their employees back to office after the COVID-19 lockdowns

You may have heard of the “Dividend Aristocrats,” but have you heard of the “Dividend Kings?” While dividend aristocrats have at least 25 years of consecutive annual dividend increases under their belts, dividend kings go the extra. To qualify for this designation, a company must achieve at least 50 years of consecutive annual dividend growth.
