Blue-chip stocks are established firms that offer revenue and earnings growth. Some of these companies are more mature and don’t go through as much volatility. Other blue-chip stocks can still grow and generate solid long-term returns but may be more prone to a market correction. These types of stocks are optimal for investors who can
Your investing journey has to begin somewhere. For those of us who aren’t trust fund babies, we need to start with more modest sums. Putting $1,000 into the market at the beginning simply means it will take us longer to achieve our goals. It doesn’t mean we don’t invest in the stock market for annual
The stock market has been performing remarkably well within the last year due to several factors, including reduced inflation, which has caused the Federal Reserve to change its tone when it comes to interest rate hikes. Between March 2022 and July 2023, the Fed raised interest rates 11 times. But, they predict that interest rate cuts
Only a few AI stocks have rallied tremendously due to the AI revolution. The Street is showering Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Super Micro (NASDAQ:SMCI) with the majority of the benefits from the boom. But the reality is that hundreds if not thousands of companies are benefiting considerably from the proliferation of AI. Some of
An article in the Wall Street Journal from July 2023 indicated that the AI Cloud boom has created significant opportunities for multiple firms in their stocks. The thrust of the article was that Cloud providers largely remained incapable of supporting large AI applications. Even the hyper-scale firms that populate Silicon Valley and its equivalents globally
Growth stocks have been on a tear over the past year and a half – that’s if you put them all in the same basket. If you invested in Big Tech, AI, or SaaS, you’d likely be sitting on some massive gains right now. However, while the rising tide has lifted many boats, not all
The tech sector offers many high-growth companies that have outperformed the market and rewarded long-term investors. However, the issue with consistent outperformance is that valuations can become frothy for new investors. For instance, Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) was a bargain last year that traded at a 16 P/E ratio at certain points. It seems like every investor
Cannabis stocks have gone through multiple phases of high volatility in the last five years. Traders might have benefited from this volatility, but the sector has disappointed long-term investors. However, it finally seems that cannabis stocks might be positioned for a sustained rally. There are multiple reasons for this view. First, several cannabis companies have
Looking at gold and Bitcoin (BTC-USD), multiple rate cuts might be on the cards in the next 12 to 18 months. It’s also good news for equities, so many look at fresh exposure to potential multibagger stocks. Notably, funds flow from blue-chip stocks to growth stocks during times of risk-on trade. Easy money policies can
An expected investing behavior is to chase overvalued stocks from a sector in the limelight. Similarly, investors ignore deeply undervalued stocks from sectors facing temporary headwinds. The same stocks are bought at a premium when sentiments reverse. From optimism to big targets, EV stocks are facing pessimism. As a result, there are several undervalued EV
Building a stock investment portfolio isn’t easy. One moment, you are tempted to wait for a dip, and another, you want to give in to the temptation of buying a stock at a premium with the hopes that it will generate strong returns. While it is impossible to time the market, it makes sense to
Even as the S&P 500 marks new highs, some investors see small-cap value stocks as today’s best bet for long-term growth. Many are becoming increasingly nervous about index-based stock concentration. For example, S&P 500 investors rely more and more on mega-caps like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) as they beat out all other indexed stocks to pull the
Wise investors give close attention to shares that offer a combination of diversification, value, dividends, and long-term growth potential. Putting that money to work in top-notch companies is a fantastic way to start building a nest egg. For the long-term investor, the stock market offers a diverse range of sectors. And even with a limited
Danish researchers published a report on the arXiv.org open-access archive for scholarly articles in February about the Jan. 2021 short squeeze of video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME). The researchers found that the subreddit community WallStreetBets ‘s(WSB) desire to find and invest in stocks primed for short squeeze had a role in GME’s short squeeze from
There are some undervalued artificial intelligence (AI) penny stocks that are a great fit for investor’s portfolios. These companies trade at cheap valuations for a reason: namely, they have limited operating histories and there is a significant amount of speculation involving their future trajectories. However I’m also confident that these AI penny stocks could potentially
Investing for dividend stocks for passive income requires a fundamentally different set of expectations than chasing short-term gains. As such, I want to discuss my investing philosophy when it comes to buying dividend stocks for passive income. For starters, I prefer to position my dividend savings in treasury bonds. However, stocks are equally lucrative, if not
Looking for electric vehicle stocks to buy? There’s much handwringing going on here. Concerns are rising that consumers have lost interest in battery-powered cars, trucks, and SUVs. This is due to several factors: high prices, low battery range, and a lack of public infrastructure to support vehicles on roads and highways. In short, EVs are too
In terms of technology investments, the hunt for the next game-changing entity similar to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) remains perpetual. Yet, within the sector, three formidable contenders have emerged that may disrupt the status quo and redefine growth. While diverse in their focus areas within the tech domain, these disruptive tech stocks for growth share a common
Regarding auto stocks, most investors think of car companies such as General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). However, there are plenty of other companies that benefit from automotive manufacturing. For starters, there are businesses all over the U.S. providing the GMs of the world with the parts to make their cars and trucks. Then you’ve
Cathie Wood worries about Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) meteoric rise. The portfolio manager wrote about NVDA stock in The Journey From Monetary Shock To An Innovation-Led Economic Boom, a commentary on what’s happening in the markets. This will be huge for NVDA stock. She likened Nvidia to Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) and its 51% correction over four months in
