As the world accelerates its transition towards renewable energy, battery stocks remain at the forefront of this global shift. Heading into the summer of 2024, the demand for high-performance, sustainable battery solutions is more critical than ever. As per McKinsey & Company, the lithium-ion battery market is expected to grow to more than $400 billion

Investing in innovative companies can yield substantial returns, and Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) stock exemplifies this potential. As the world’s leading provider of customer relationship management (CRM) solutions, Salesforce has established itself as a dominant force in the enterprise software and cloud computing sectors. However, despite this impressive growth, the stock has experienced significant fluctuations this year,

Software stocks are some of the best investment options available for 2024 after a 28.2% gain in the technology sector drove them to excellent returns in the first half of the year. In the first half of 2024 the Nasdaq Composite Index, which is mostly weighted with technology and software stocks, rose by 18.6%. Over the

The Nasdaq Composite has been a solid benchmark for many years. It’s up by 16% year-to-date and has logged a 114% gain over the past five years. The index consists of numerous holdings but has a large focus on tech companies. The Magnificent Seven stocks, in particular, carry a lot of weight within the Nasdaq

Lithium prices are struggling at multi-year lows, forcing some miners to consider closing down mines and delaying projects. But I’d use that as a reason to buy beaten-down lithium stocks for the long term. After all, we’ve seen this play out before. In 2018, prices peaked due to oversupply, which led to a massive 60%

If you want to do well with biotech stocks, trade the anticipation of news. Look at Structure Therapeutics (NASDAQ:GPCR), for example. On March 8, I learned that GPCR would report Phase 2a 12-week obesity drug data in the second quarter of the year. Knowing that Phase 1 trials had positive results, I anticipated that Phase

Market forecasts are growing increasingly pessimistic. U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) warned earlier in July that the stock market is headed for a correction in the current third quarter. Mike Wilson, the chief U.S. equity strategist at Morgan Stanley, said stocks are likely to pull back due to uncertainty surrounding the presidential election, corporate

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a key reason that the S&P 500 closed the first half of the year up 15.3%, the Nasdaq Composite gained around 18.6%, and the Nasdaq-100 rose 17.5%. Clearly, artificial intelligence applications drive growth. And Nvidia’s products lead this digital wave. Increased investment in AI hardware infrastructure should support the company’s next-generation GPUs

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has been one of the brightest stars in the Magnificent Seven rally, with the stock delivering incredible multibagger returns from its 2022 selloff lows. I was pounding the table on META back then, seeing immense value in the company’s core business despite the market’s pessimism. And so far, that bullish thesis has

No matter how you slice it, Donald Trump has the more straightforward path to the White House. Republican voters overwhelmingly chose him over other candidates. It was telegraphed that he would run for years and it happened. On the other end, Vice President Kamala Harris wasn’t even on the top of the ticket just a

Small-capitalization companies represent high-risk endeavors. At the same time, they generally carry higher reward potential. Basically, it comes down to a mathematical concept. Because both the price and expectations for such diminutive enterprises are deflated, when they generate positive momentum, the reaction could be quite intense. That’s why speculators continue to pour money into small-cap

While there is big potential for growth in the hydrogen economy, there is a need for deep pockets. Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) was among the hottest hydrogen stocks. However, the company has struggled from a financing and execution perspective, and the stock has plunged. Therefore, I would look at blue-chip hydrogen stocks with high financial flexibility

There are plenty of cheap stocks under $25 investors can choose from. Of course, plenty of companies with lower share prices are inherently risky, and I’m not talking about just penny stocks. Companies that have been beaten down by the market, or have lower share prices, can often see outsized volatility due to increased options

A major consideration when choosing blockchain stocks is regulatory risk. Due to its young age, the blockchain industry does not yet have clear regulations. Understanding how future regulation could affect your investment is essential. For example, JD Vance, Trump’s nominee for running mate in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, is pro-crypto. He has received backing

It’s been a rough month for manufacturing stocks. The reading on manufacturing activity is one of the most closely watched economic reports. In July, the S&P Global Flash U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index came in at 49.5. The number was lower than estimated at 51.7, approximately equal to the 49 registered in July 2023. It also
