A retirement portfolio isn’t the place to bet on startups and penny stocks. Investing for your Golden Years means seeking out quality stocks that offer a combination of growth, income and safety. Instead of betting the farm on making a killing overnight, you’re better off taking the slow and steady approach. But don’t mistake consistency
While the fear of missing out (FOMO) is a powerful emotion, sometimes the patient approach to stock prices to watch presents a better situation. I learned the hard way. In January of this year, I hastily bought call options in Biomea Fusion (NASDAQ:BMEA) based largely on short-squeeze speculation. I didn’t even bother to understand what

Not every touchdown during Super Bowl 58 happened on the field. Advertising slots are very competitive during the big game and cost companies millions of dollars to run. These corporations only have 30 seconds to make a lasting impression on viewers as they wait for the game to resume. Commercials can bring awareness to new
The AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (NYSEARCA:MSOS) has surged by nearly 30% year-to-date, showcasing the rejuvenated demand for cannabis stocks. Salient to the ETF’s year-to-date performance has been the increased popularity of high-beta securities. Moreover, many anticipate that marijuana will soon be downgraded to a Schedule II category substance from its current Schedule I status,
A few days ago, we discussed several stocks that could benefit from a Biden economic boom if he wins reelection in 2024. However, today I want to consider an alternative scenario – a triumph from former president Donald Trump. Given Trump’s resurgence in recent polls, I believe this outcome may be more probable than many
Warren Buffett stock picks continue to include a secret stock. Speculation was high that Buffett’s mystery holding would be revealed when his company, Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK.A/NYSE:BRK.B) latest 13F regulatory filing was made public. But no such luck. The Oracle of Omaha, as Buffett is known, has continued to ask the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
You want speculative stocks with upside potential up to 3X returns? I’m going to give them to you. But you have to accept the risk. There’s (usually) no such thing as a free lunch and that especially applies on Wall Street. No one’s just going to give you stocks with upside potential to 200% or
The stock markets have been on a hot run for many months on the back of renewed enthusiasm due to rates and the continued run in artificial intelligence (AI). Undoubtedly, last week’s consumer price index number was a bit of a setback. But, markets managed to move on from the disappointing (and a tad overheated)
The stock market’s strong rally in 2023 caused many investors to forget about the tumultuous times in 2022. While the stock market is experiencing strong momentum at the start of the year, thanks to artificial intelligence and other factors, not everything has gone up in bullish markets. A few stocks missed out on the 2023
Some once great companies have fallen on hard times, causing their stock to sink. While surprising, the long-term decline of powerful brands is nothing new. Business history is littered with discarded companies that were once dominant but became irrelevant value traps over time. Many great companies cease to exist and become top blue-chip stocks to
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman became something of a household name a decade ago when he famously declared weight loss and nutrition supplement maker Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) a “pyramid scheme.” His Pershing Square Capital Management hedge fund took a massive $1 billion short position in the stock. He waged war on the company for five years before
Investing in high-potential biotech stocks should catapult your portfolio to new heights. Picture this: a global biotech market valued at a whopping $1.55 trillion in 2023 is set to catapult to $3.08 trillion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 14%. Beyond the numbers, the competitive fervor among biotechs adds an intriguing layer
There are a few flying car stocks on the market today I believe could lead to substantial gains for investors. These companies are known for high growth potential as well as relatively low valuations for what investors get for their money. Although these companies are in the very early stages of development and are risky,
While some investors prefer high-flying tech darlings, others seek “fallen angels,” or once-loved robust companies facing temporary challenges. With its shorter days and unpredictable weather, February can mirror the stock market’s volatility. Yet, for some beaten-down stocks, this season can serve as a fertile ground for potential growth. Not all stocks have participated in the
Tech stocks in the United States 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. The Nasdaq has risen 6.2%, while the S&P 500 has risen 4.9%. With
Budget semiconductor stocks are set for a boost with Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) long-anticipated halving event scheduled to take place in April. The halving is a cyclical event in which the scarcity of Bitcoin is increased as the volume of cryptocurrency awarded to miners is halved. Many investors are expecting market-wide rallies that are similar in scale
Some hidden-gem 5G stocks are currently being overlooked by investors and are primed to surge in value this year. These stocks belong to companies that are either directly involved in developing and deploying 5G technology or are set to benefit significantly from its widespread adoption.

The Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL,NASDAQ: GOOG) stock outlook suggests the company has solidified itself as one of the market leaders in artificial intelligence. The company is making all the right moves, and AI is already making meaningful contributions to the company’s quarterly financial results. The dawn of artificial intelligence has sparked a new technological revolution. This is
What will it take to bring Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) back into the market’s favor? It would certainly build confidence if the company’s chief executive is also a shareholder. Even beyond that, the INTC stock outlook indicates improvement, albeit not perfection, so a small-sized allocation isn’t a terrible idea. We’ve caught wind of discussion about whether Intel is the
