The jury’s in, and the verdict is a resounding yes to interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year. Following the announcement on Wednesday, all three major indexes rallied to record highs, with the S&P 500 blowing past the 5,200 level for the first time. Hence, it is perhaps an ideal time to bet on the best
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock is to the 2020s what Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was to the 2010s, what Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL, NASDAQ:GOOG) was to the 2000s, and what Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was to the late 1990s. NVDA stock has won the Great Game, creating the “Next Big Thing.” That’s Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and, eventually (but not yet) Artificial General
Evidence continues to accumulate that Palantir’s (NYSE:PLTR) business is growing rapidly, driven by a significant amount of enthusiasm for its Artificial Intelligence Platform which facilitates the use of AI by large companies and government agencies. Nonetheless, AIP is facing tough competition which is likely to greatly rise over the longer term, likely causing PLTR’s growth
In the electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) world, Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) stock remains a top stock I think long-term investors should focus on. Based in California, Joby aims to create scalable eVTOLs for short-distance passenger and cargo transport. Recent partnerships in California, New York, and Dubai hint at Joby’s potential in the emerging industry.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock, historically known for Windows and business software, continues to innovate into new niches. The company’s business model is one that’s well-suited to AI-related integrations, and the company has done just that via its large investment in OpenAI and its ChatGPT large language model. Generative AI has the ability to re-shape much of
Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) stock is the backbone of the burgeoning semiconductor industry. As the world’s leading contract chip manufacturer, TSMC produces the chip that powers everything from smartphones and laptops to advanced AI applications and electric vehicles (EVs). Wall Street remains bullish on the company’s growth prospects in FY24, as AI tailwinds suggest strong growth
Most semiconductor stocks surged in 2024, but Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock hasn’t felt the love, down 7% this year and 18% over the past five years. Intel’s struggles include a diminished outlook and delayed construction for the company’s Ohio plant due to “weak market conditions.” This contrasts starkly with the extremely high chip demand seen across
The U.S. Department of Justice and 16 state attorneys general are suing Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock for violating antitrust laws, causing the value of AAPL stock to drop by $115 billion on March 21. Bloomberg reported, “The US lawsuit alleges that Apple has used its power over app distribution on the iPhone to thwart innovations that
Blue-chip stocks have many advantages. Typically blue-chip stocks are issued by large, mature and financially strong companies. Benefits of owning blue-chip stocks include stable finances, strong earnings growth, profitability and consistent dividend payments. Blue-chip stocks are typically issued by companies dominating their sector or industry, not easily disrupted by competitors or market forces. Analysts often
InvestorPlace.com contributor Rich Duprey recently suggested that Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is a better buy than Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Counterintuitively, the fact that Nvidia stock has outperformed AMD threefold over the past year does help make the argument that the former is ready to cool off while the latter has plenty of momentum left in
Hydrogen fuel cell stocks ended 2023 on a sour note, and have not started 2024 on good footing either. The Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR), which holds 29 different hydrogen energy companies, has fallen 20% year-to-date. Non-renewable sources of energy are not as expensive as they used to be in 2022, so the attractiveness of renewable energy companies has significantly
Finding hidden jewels in the stock market ready for explosive development — especially stocks under $5 — is like finding hidden treasure on the ocean floor. Out of all the alternatives, three companies stand out as strong candidates. They are all under $5 and can beat the market. Conventional hardware sales previously constrained the first
EV stocks have been some of the worst performers over the past two years. While a handful of EV companies have held their ground, the broader EV sector has sorely lagged the overall market. Why the sluggishness? Well, high interest rates have put a chokehold on the entire EV industry. With the cost of borrowing
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) remains the undisputed king of e-commerce. Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) continues to dominate the search advertising market. With this, you may think it’s a challenge to figure out which are the stocks that could be the next Amazon or Google. When it comes to the relatively smaller U.S.-based tech companies, few appear possible Amazon or
Drone stocks are set to surge with the market forecast to soar at a huge compound annual growth rate of 22% between now and 2032. By the end of that period, the market is expected to be valued at $82.9 billion. Among the factors fueling increases in the demand for drones in recent years is
Monthly dividend stocks are one of my favorite investing strategies, and I recommend them for those who are seeking consistent income streams. These stocks are ideal because instead of paying dividends quarterly, the companies they represent pay their investors monthly. This frequent payout can be particularly attractive for investors looking to supplement their regular income
The tech sector continues to soar as artificial intelligence gains ground. That isn’t the only story but it is one of the primary reasons that up and coming tech stocks could become the next superstars. Thematic investors continue to pile into all things artificial intelligence and machine learning. The sector isn’t without problems as many
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is the oldest stock market index, and one in which the highest quality companies invest. Although investors sometimes regard the Dow as a boring index, plenty of stocks brim with excitement. Remember, the boring trait is valuable during corrections due to the defensive qualities of its blue-chip stocks. Also, some
Today we will be looking at three penny stocks with the power to 10x your $1K investment. The three firms discussed below have outsized potential to turn a small capital allocation into a much larger return. Two of the three firms discussed below have very strong catalysts on their side. The other operates in the
Here’s the deal with stocks to turn $1,000 into $1 million: if you want to play, you gotta pay. I’m not just talking about the price of the securities themselves. Indeed, these lesser-known enterprises are relatively low priced. No, the cost comes in the fact that extreme speculation such as this involves an inverse relationship.
