Warren Buffett once remarked, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” It’s a caution to investors to not just look at the cost of what a stock is charging you to buy it but to understand what you will receive for your money. Penny stock investors quickly learn that lesson. They may
In a politically divisive ecosystem, about the only thing we can achieve bipartisanship on are Nancy Pelosi stocks. Yes, the former House Speaker herself represents a lightning rod for controversy. Yet she seems to know her way around the market. That’s not surprising. Love her or not love her (let’s not get too negative here),

While many retail investors continue to chase the usual suspects in the innovation space, nothing lasts forever, which brings us to dividend king stocks to buy. These are some of the most profitable enterprises, featuring consecutive payout increases for at least 50 years. Much like a monster truck rally, the idea here isn’t about using
Investors load up on growth stocks in hopes of outperforming popular stock market benchmarks like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. It’s possible to outshine these indices, but some growth stocks lose their charm. A corporation that previously reported superb financial growth can see its growth rates wither. If that happens, shareholder value can quickly get decimated.
The Nasdaq is one of the most closely watched indexes for every investor to follow. The Nasdaq, which is an acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations, is an exchange comprised of more than 3,400 individual securities.

I’ve noticed a sense of negativity surrounding battery stocks lately. The general narrative is that battery prices will decrease in time, leading to lower manufacturing profitability.

As investors, we all aim to outperform the market. But beating the S&P 500 is a difficult task for most of us. Outperforming the Nasdaq Index has proven to be an even greater challenge in recent years. That’s because this tech-heavy index has been on a tear over the past two decades, buoyed by high-growth
There again appears to be a sizable gap between the way small caps are performing versus their larger cap peers. The Russell 2000, an index tracking the performance of small- to mid-cap companies, has not had a good first quarter in 2024. So far, the Russell is trading up 4.81% year-to-date, while the S&P500 and Nasdaq Composite have appreciated

Towards the end of the just completed first quarter, U.S.-based hedge funds began dumping American equities and shifting capital into European stocks.
