Just days ago, the Department of Energy announced a $750 million investment in 52 U.S. projects that will cut the cost of clean hydrogen and “reinforce America’s global leadership in the growing clean hydrogen industry,” as noted by Energy.gov. All of which should be a sizable catalyst for hydrogen stocks. “The projects are expected to enable U.S.
As the broader stock rally broadens to some of the more “boring” corners of the market, it’s the higher-yielding dividend plays that could stand to move higher from current levels. Undoubtedly, a broadening out of the rally would benefit some of the investors who’ve rotated (away from the hottest technology companies into less-loved “value” stocks)
There are seven stocks making CEOs lose sleep in March this year, reflecting the immense pressures and challenges facing major corporations across various industries. Some companies are reeling from product safety crises that have shaken consumer confidence while exposing them to staggering litigation risks. Others are struggling with internal culture issues, while more are being
Last week, Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) meteoric rise to new all-time highs shifted attention to crypto miner stocks as cryptocurrency inflows rose. Holding crypto miner stocks is seen as another way to profit from a potential ongoing rise in Bitcoin prices. A simple approach is to invest in crypto-related stocks that will likely report higher profits as
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn developed a reputation as a corporate raider in the 1980s but is better known today as a shareholder activist. He buys large stakes in undervalued companies to push for changes, often through gaining seats on boards of directors. Most recently Icahn won seats on JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) board just days after
Crude oil recently hit a four-month high, with the International Energy Agency expecting a supply deficit through 2024. That view is based on the premise that OPEC maintains production cuts. However, this is not the only catalyst for crude oil. There will likely be multiple rate cuts in the next 12 to 18 months. Expansionary
Gold and other commodities are perfect investment options for investors looking to diversify their portfolios. Gold futures are still at near all-time highs of roughly $2,100/oz. With inflation becoming less of a major issue and a strong likelihood that interest rate cuts will occur in the coming months, the price of gold will continue to climb. The VanEck Gold Miners
We are often led to believe that outperforming the stock market is a superhuman trait that only those on Wall Street possess. However, such a narrative is simply untrue. In fact, there are numerous investment opportunities available that could see you outperform the market by yourself. As such, I decided to dial in on a
When it comes to generative artificial intelligence (AI) investment opportunities, I think the market’s heavyweights get far too much attention. Undoubtedly, firms like those in the so-called Magnificent Seven have the deep pockets to really make huge investments (and acquisitions) in the space. Whether we’re talking about the costs of building new AI models or
When retirement is far away, investing in growth stocks with captivating long-term catalysts is easier. Investors who can wait 10-15 years before retirement may want to focus on the most promising stocks instead of rushing to assets with more stability and high yields. All the stocks on this list are up by more than 1,000%
The big crash in lithium price has translated into lithium stocks trading at a deep valuation gap. It’s difficult to talk about the exact timing for recovery in lithium prices. However, there is no doubt that it’s the best time to buy lithium stocks. Once the reversal rally is underway, lithium stock can potentially skyrocket.
The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), a fund largely composed of tech stocks, has soared 45% over the past year. And in some specific semiconductor and AI-related names, the gains have been parabolic. Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) has rocketed more than 1,000% over the past 12 months, to give one example. While the gains have
There are some sectors poised for gains that investors should keep on their radars. These sectors could grow as much as 20 times. Furthermore, I believe that this is a conservative estimate based on analyst projections. I think that these sectors are relatively untapped. Some are more well-known and the growth story is obvious. While
Dividends that provide a passive source of revenue for investors often seem great on the surface. Stocks with high yields can sometimes indicate a company’s instability or solely serve the purpose of attracting investors without offering sustainable returns. The three stocks we’ll introduce in this article have very high dividends but shaky financials and past
Energy stocks are heating up, and the sector is poised for a sizzling end to the first quarter. As a leading sector exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF (NYSEARCA:FENY) has already jumped 8.0% year-to-date (YTD), outpacing the S&P 500’s 7.2% gain—tight supplies, geopolitical risks and rising global energy demand fuel the sector’s
There are some alternative chip stocks available beyond the marquee names of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Intel (NADAQ:INTC) and the like. The reason I’m bullish on these companies is because they have one thing in common: lower valuations than the mainstream stocks we’re all used to talking about. The stretched valuations of the big semiconductor players is
The tech sector is up 12% year-to-date and a remarkable 48% over the past 12 months, powering the broader markets. Particularly, the semiconductor industry is growing, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) leading the charge; its stock is up around three-fourths this year. The best tech stocks are expected to maintain this momentum, according to Deloitte’s 2024 technology
If the electric vehicle (EV) boom is going to get off the ground, we need far more EV charging stations. In fact, as I noted on Feb. 12, “The U.S. has just under 130,000 publicly available charging ports at 50,401 charging stations, according to BlinkCharging.com. Yet, when we approach the U.S. goal of half of all
If you’re searching for undervalued quantum computing stocks to add to your portfolio this month, look no further. Never before in human history has technology progressed at the rate seen today. In just two decades, human civilization went from miniaturizing the computer to AI software aggregating data across the internet. With advancements in physics, humanity
Two weeks ago, I wrote how Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) sudden surge was a positive sign for other risky bets. Bitcoin prices are solely determined by what others will pay, and so rising prices is a clear sign of investor bullishness (i.e., greed). That’s why the five recommended stocks and cryptos from that issue have done so
