With so many investment ideas floating around, it’s a big challenge to buy and hold for the long term. There is always a temptation for a switchover. In a dynamic world from a technology perspective, it makes sense to have a portfolio that’s for the short or medium term. However, millionaires from the markets are
NIO (NYSE:NIO) stock doesn’t look great following recent earnings. The main reason is Nio’s lack of foresight to drive profitability and its abysmal market share in the Chinese EV market. Competition is heating up and the largest players are reducing prices to steal even more market share. We are already seeing the collapse of small
OpenAI’s recent unveiling of its text-to-video generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) model may just have been the biggest thing to happen in the wild world of AI since ChatGPT. Undoubtedly, the technology will garner various emotions (awe, excitement, maybe even horror?). It’s hard to imagine that generative AI can create incredibly realistic videos that will
It’s said that “knowledge is power.” The education sector is therefore the backbone of growth for any country or economy. Plus, the education sector will continue to grow at a steady pace, which will create substantial opportunities for education stocks, most notably undervalued education stocks. The U.S. education market was valued at $1.4 trillion in
With the broader indices such as the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq surging higher, there’s little sense for investors to hold on to these struggling stocks to sell. The potential for losses is very high with this list of companies, and I therefore advise investors to exercise caution. While it’s tempting to hold onto stocks
In perhaps the most vitriolic political cycle ever, the idea of bipartisan infrastructure stocks – that is, investment ideas both Democrats and Republicans love – sounds absurd. However, even in this acidic showdown, some common ground exists. If you listen to the underlying messaging, it’s basically all the same stuff: America this, Americans that. It’s
When it comes to building wealth, most financial advisors will eschew stocks for aggressive growth in favor of the Warren Buffett approach; that is, investing in proven but undervalued enterprises with relatively predictable business trajectories. However, not all of us are blessed with the Oracle of Omaha’s genetics. I mean, I’m not sure how Buffett
While the market continues to climb a wall of worries, it’s not a bad idea to consider diversifying into consumer staples stocks to buy. No, the idea here isn’t necessarily to get rich off the ideas (though that would be nice). Instead, it’s to mitigate volatility risks. Sure, a broader downdraft tends to impact all
In AI and automation, three pioneering companies stand out as frontrunners. These AI stocks are not just names, they are disrupting industries and can potentially deliver solid returns. As the demand for AI solutions intensifies, their strategies and leads make them AI and automation pioneers. These trailblazing companies hold solid fundamentals behind their potential meteoric
Ordinarily, you’ll want to avoid excessively red-stained ideas. Although certain exceptions might be made for these oversold stocks ready for rebound. Certain relevant enterprises may be liable to bounce back after bearish actions have gone too far. Whether you want to call them dead-cat bounces or snapback rallies, the principle is the same. After incurring
U.S. stocks sustained a jaw-breaking rally in 2023, with the Nasdaq beating all other indices, accruing a more than 43% return. While stocks largely did not begin 2024 with a great start, the major indices have risen in the past few weeks. Both major indices, S&P 500 and Nasdaq, have risen more than 7% year to date (YTD). While
Big tech stocks have carried the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. These corporations produce products and services that have become household names. Despite massive run-ups, many of the mega-cap tech stocks still have more room to run. These stocks still have enough catalysts to outperform the market and deliver long-term value to new shareholders.

Jackyenjoyphotography | Moment | Getty Images Japan’s Nikkei 225 smashed through the 40,000 level on Monday, soaring past another milestone to a new record high — but it did not surprise Japan expert Jesper Koll who expects another 37% upside for the benchmark stock index. “In my view, it is perfectly reasonable
Not to beat a dead horse, but I’m a big fan of some of the top hydrogen stocks to buy. As I said a few days ago, “all seven of the Department of Energy’s hydrogen hubs are asking the Treasury Department to loosen the rules, too. They argue that ‘the Treasury guidance is ‘overly restrictive’’ and
Dumpster diving can be fun! One man’s trash is another’s treasure, particularly when investing. Stocks tossed into the trash and trading at 52-week lows can many times turn into real jewels for your portfolio. Of course, you should use caution. Just because a stock is down does not make it a buy. Cheap stocks are
Dividend investing is a common strategy for investors planning for retirement. Corporations that distribute dividends can help you cover living expenses without having to sell shares. Some stocks do a better job of raising their dividends than others. On the other hand, some corporations offer higher yields but lower dividend growth rates. Investors can choose
AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is a heavily traded company that operates a movie theatre business and was one of the first meme stocks to see a huge price surge in the middle of 2021. Alongside other companies, such as GameStop (NYSE:GME), they experienced a massive short squeeze, which caused their share price to skyrocket rapidly. In the case of
Small-cap stocks haven’t quite caught up to wider investor sentiment, but that trend is set to change. While large- and mega-caps like those within the S&P 500 survived and, in many cases, thrived, over the past year, small-cap indices like the S&P 600 underperformed. While factors pushing large-cap growth over small-cap success are complex, recent
Many are under the illusion that penny stock investing is a risk-it-all phenomenon. However, I oppose such views because adding penny stocks to a diversified portfolio can lower risk while enhancing an investor’s reward. Nevertheless, there is truth in penny stocks being risky in isolation. Therefore, careful analysis is required before committing capital to penny
Stock markets have printed new record highs on the back of enthusiasm around artificial intelligence (AI), with the potential of uncovering overheated AI stocks to sell improving day by day. Of course, the resilience of the United States economy has contributed to the growth seen in certain AI stocks, like Nvidia. Moreover, expectations that the
