With concerns rising about the possibility of a global recession, the idea of targeting industrial stocks for investment seems risky. While the U.S. may offer the most insulation against financial headwinds, the global economy is incredibly interconnected. A slowdown in major markets could easily negatively impact our own standard of living. At the same time,

Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, like those developed by Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR), offer efficiency advantages over traditional planes due to their lighter materials, allowing for more passengers or cargo. This could possibly be a boon for ACHR stock. With lower operating costs, reduced maintenance time, and zero carbon emissions, these electric aircraft present

Penny stocks are well known for some exciting price action. It’s therefore not surprising that penny stocks are the favourites for short term traders and speculators. In 2021, penny stock investors made a killing with several stocks delivering multibagger returns in a matter of months. However, not all penny stocks are purely speculative. There are

Despite critics suggesting Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) lags in generative AI and could be due for a pullback if the market turns sour, investors in GOOG stock need not fret. Alphabet is aggressively advancing in gen-AI with global product innovations. Given the persistent rise of generative AI, adding Alphabet shares to your portfolio today could be

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), introduced in 1896 by Charles Dow, is renowned for its blue-chip, large-cap stocks. But this year has been underwhelming for Dow stocks, disappointing investors who were used to more significant growth. However, recent developments signal a change for the Dow. On November 24, the DJIA surged by 0.5%, an

One of the keys to successful investing and wealth creation is portfolio diversification. As an example, it’s unlikely that an investor will make millions from the market by just holding blue-chip stocks. There needs to be some high-beta growth stocks in the portfolio. Similarly, exposure to global growth stocks is essential for wealth creation. The

After a rocky couple of years, there finally seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel for growth stocks. Interest rates have stabilized, and the economy is again showing signs of strength. Of course, whispers of a potential recession still abound. That’s a risk I choose to balance by allocating part of

These top solar stocks are leading the way forward amid the world’s transition to green energy initiatives. It’s common knowledge that many countries (including the U.S.) are tracking well behind their goals to curb carbon emissions. Still, for many countries, these emissions continue to track higher year-over-year. This is why countries like Australia are giving

Small-cap stocks to buy offer a window into the future of the global economy, encapsulating companies with market capitalizations upwards of $250 million and $2.5 billion. These are the potential giants of tomorrow, starting as small-caps and gradually ascending to large or even mega-cap status through consistent earnings expansion. This journey not only escalates their

If you’re like millions of other retail investors, you’ve got whiplash from the past few months. Markets fluctuated as traders assessed economic news, consumer sentiment and stock prices. While that’s brought many undervalued stocks back to where they arguably belong, just as many losers are spiking back into overvalued territory.  If you want to capture

Recently, Americans have been notably pessimistic. Gallup reported “overwhelmingly high” levels of pessimism in mid-October, a sentiment echoed by the University of Michigan. However, the public’s perceptions do not entirely align with the reality of the financial, economic and monetary landscape. As the final month of 2023 approaches, the year is proving to be robust

The High Dividend Yield Vanguard ETF (NYSEARCA:VYM) has surged by more than 6% month-over-month, suggesting that dividend stocks are regaining traction. Intuitively speaking, the resurgence does make sense as a pending interest rate pivot may initiate more confidence among dividend investors. I say this because stocks with high dividend payout ratios usually suffer during high interest rate environments.

We all rely on technology to carry out everyday functions, like communicating, workin, and driving. However, have you ever wondered what powers our technology today? It turns out, all of the power lies within a tiny little device, called a semiconductor. These power the things we rely on daily. As a result, there’s definitely a

While we’re not in a bull market, certain value penny stocks show potential for 5x or 10x returns in the next five years, assuming forecasted business catalysts unfold. If we’re focusing on promising early-stage businesses, the long-term outlook is optimistic. Discussing penny stocks with a 12-month return potential of 100% may seem conservative, considering the

Blue chip stocks are generally a strong investment for any stage of the economic cycle and tend to take advantage of overarching trends. That remains as true today as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow. Today’s economy is marked by a lot of unsteadiness. Prices and inflation continue to be high but appear to be

Cybersecurity has been around for several years and will continue to be one of the fastest growing sectors. In addition to strong demand, these products command high margins. That’s why it’s time for investors to leave room for cybersecurity stocks in their portfolio.   Recent growth has been spurred by the emergence of artificial intelligence
