Index funds that follow popular benchmarks like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite have delivered impressive returns for long-term investors. However, the Russell 2000 is a different story. To be fair, this index hasn’t exactly lost money. It’s up by 12% year-to-date due to a July rally bringing it up from breakeven. However, the
With Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) nosediving following the release of its latest second-quarter earnings results, the Magnificent Seven could easily continue dragging their feet through the third quarter. Undoubtedly, the July tech correction may just drag into August, and perhaps even September, one of the least exciting months for stocks from a historical perspective. Either way, investors

If you had told Wall Street tech stalwarts back in 2020 that Intel (NYSE:INTC) stock would plummet as rapidly as it has over the last 12 months, it’s likely many of them would have laughed you off. Fast forward four years, and Intel is in the same position it was over two decades ago. Furthermore,
That tech stocks have been the driving force behind the two-year bull market is no surprise. It was the Magnificent Seven stocks that represented most of the S&P 500’s 24% gains last year. Most of those companies are repeating their performance in 2024, if not quite to the same degree. However, after hitting a new
Recent regulatory filings made by Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) revealed that the holding company reduced its stake in Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) for the first time since 2019.

Recent movie news bodes well for AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock as it reports earnings on Aug. 2. Although it released preliminary results last week, this could be a case of “buy the rumor, sell the news.” Disney (NYSE:DIS) has three certified movie hits on its hands. Inside Out 2, Despicable Me 4 and now Deadpool
Things are getting difficult for technology stocks. The rotation of investor capital out of the mega-cap tech names that led the market rally in the year’s first half is accelerating. Now, disappointing earnings reports from several high-profile technology concerns are exacerbating the selloff, highlighting tech stocks to sell. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) just released its second-quarter print
The cybersecurity industry and the services it provides are nearly invisible to the average person except for when it fails. The CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) outage on July 19 did a fantastic job of reminding everyone of this reality, as a seemingly invisible update to Windows OS cybersecurity brought down airlines, banks, hospital systems and even emergency
