Temperatures are getting lower, at least in most of the United States. The Farmer’s Almanac predicts above-average snowfall for much of the U.S. and colder-than-normal weather. There will be many days, it seems, where the best thing you’ll be able to do is sit by a fire and bask in the warmth of your dividend

Wireless technology and semiconductor specialist Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) isn’t a member of the prestigious “Magnificent Seven” group of large-cap technology companies.

Is the party over for Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock investors in 2023? Not likely, as the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips hasn’t evaporated and Nvidia is still a powerful revenue generator. Sure, the company will face challenges. Don’t give up on Nvidia, though, as 2024 could be as good as 2023 or even better for the company’s

Do you remember how Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was the object of scorn in 2022 and early 2023? Now, Intel is finally getting its due respect. Consequently, INTC stock has rallied, but this is a time to let your winners run, not take your chips off the table. Don’t get the wrong idea. Intel will have to face

Growth stocks have the potential to outperform the market. These stocks often feature high year-over-year revenue growth, and some of them also generate profits. However, these same stocks can fall off dramatically if the market contracts. Investors saw this unfold in 2022 when many of the best-performing stocks of 2021 saw their valuations plummet by

This December the chances of a Santa Clause rally are looking thin, so it’s worth stuffing your portfolio with long-term stocks that will deliver in the new year and beyond.

When many investors often think of growth stocks, it’s the mega-cap tech giants that dominate the discussion. That’s for good reason. Many top tech stocks have outperformed the market for a long time. So, investors are loading up on market cap weighted index funds to capture these returns.

If the first rule in the film “Fight Club” is to not talk about fight club, then the same rule applies to penny stocks with potential: you do not talk about these penny stocks with upside.

If you believe in the power of seasonal trends, the concept of The January Effect stocks might pique your interest. Fundamentally, the hypothesis suggests that at the beginning of the year, equities feature a tendency to rise more than in any other month.

In many, if not most cases, you want to avoid betting on the same horse, which makes the concept of hidden-gem stocks quite compelling. Generally, the equities sector features at least moderate efficiency, meaning that security has absorbed the collective weight of all publicly available information.

The hotel and hospitality industry took a serious beating during the Covid-19 pandemic. U.S. hotel market valuations dropped from $222.26 billion in 2019 to a measly $127 and $171.1 billion. Hotel rooms worldwide struggled to occupy even half of their rooms, and hospitality job demands were at an all-time low. Thankfully, that’s mostly behind us

To be quite blunt about the present economic backdrop, you don’t need many excuses to seriously consider strong-buy dividend stocks. By that, I’m referring to public companies that provide passive income while also benefiting from the top rating possible among covering analysts.

Not every investor wants to search for the next million-maker stock. While these types of stocks can generate significant returns, they also have more risk.

2023 has been a year for growth stocks powered by the emergence of general artificial intelligence (AI).
