Since the end of October, stocks have rallied tremendously, with the S&P 500 soaring 15% and the Russell 2000 jumping 21%. This huge rebound, brought about by greater confidence in the economy and less trepidation about interest rates, resulted in many drastically overvalued stocks. For long-term, risk-tolerant investors, the latter situation created a good opportunity.
Yesterday, the S&P 500 flashed a pretty rare and equally spectacular technical indicator. That is, for the first time in more than a year, the stock market became extremely technically overbought. Specifically, the relative strength index (RSI) on the S&P 500 popped above 80 yesterday. That’s extremely rare. And prescient investors will know that it
Over the last several months, solar stocks lost their shine. In fact, many lost more than 50% of their value.

Investor Cathie Wood deserves to take a victory lap. After being vilified for almost two years for allocating capital to disruptive technology stocks, Wood’s 2023 strategy has proven successful. The flagship ARK Innovation (NYSEARCA:ARKK) exchange-traded fund (ETF) that Wood runs through her investment management firm Ark Invest is up 70% this year. After enduring the
In the contemporary age, the concept of top Dow stocks to buy seems rather anachronistic. After all, the underlying Dow Jones Industrial Average only covers 30 companies. Contrast that with other indexes that consider hundreds if not thousands of publicly traded securities. However, the limited coverage of Dow stocks shouldn’t be conflated with a lack
With speculation about interest rate cuts seemingly reaching a fever pitch, it’s naturally time to consider high-yield dividend stocks.
