The Magnificent Seven stocks have propped up the stock market in what would have otherwise been a down year. If the S&P 500 was an equal-weighted index, it would have only been up by 0.1% year-to-date as of October 5th. The index has been slightly down since October 5th, implying an equally weighted index would have

Recently, we have had a great bullish rally for crude oil, both WTI and Brent, which has undoubtedly drawn attention to the energy sector and has turned on the lights to invest in the sector.

Market volatility in 2023 has made some equities overvalued and other undervalued. Investors have fled some sectors and industries because their results are sensitive to inflation and rapidly rising interest rates. They also fear a recession. However, despite predictions to the contrary, a recession has yet to occur. As a result, some equities are mispriced.

Despite multiple macroeconomic issues in the past year, the market looks to finally be turning back up as 2024 nears. In 2022 and 2023, unexpected downturns from the bear market, threats of an impending recession, and inflationary pressure brought down hundreds of growing companies. Like any value investor learning from Warren Buffet, one of the most

It’s been a mixed year for electric vehicle stocks. Macroeconomic headwinds have impacted growth, and several EV companies have found it challenging to grow as competition intensifies. Amid mixed sentiments, several cheap EV stocks are still worth considering. An important point is that there are intermediate corrections even in industries with positive tailwinds. The EV

Generally speaking, you get what you pay for, which should be a warning for speculating on low-priced securities, even if they’re labeled the best cheap stocks under $5.

What once buzzed solely in the realm of cinema is aggressively moving toward practicality, with multiple enterprises spearheading groundbreaking advancements. Additionally, early birds in this sector are poised for potentially soaring returns, painting the horizon with hues of

Ahead of possible volatility in the market, investors may find some measure of confidence in undervalued stocks. From a psychological perspective, companies that sit well outside the well-beaten path offer the perception that they trade below their intrinsic value. In other words, overlooked equities mentally prep investors for the long game. Also, another segment to

With the market just demonstrating the possibility of a downcycle in the future, investors may want to target dividend stocks. Fundamentally, the case for passive income is rather obvious. Companies that have enough profits left over tend to operate reliable, predictable businesses. These qualities can help them weather the storm better than many purely growth-oriented

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are improving at a rapid rate. And one of the areas where they are making strides is in predicting the movements of stock prices. While far from perfect, AI is able to review news reports of companies and stocks, and make forecasts about the future direction of share prices based on

Investors have seen it all in the past three years: a pandemic, lockdown, supply chain issues, inflation, war and high interest rates. The market has shown high volatility and put investors in a state where they are only looking to invest in stocks that have already proven themselves and can survive through market turmoil. The

Transportation has come a long way, from gas cars to flying cars and EVs. The transportation sector, a multibillion-dollar industry, is constantly evolving to meet global demands. Innovations like electric vehicles, long-range aircraft, drones, and flying cars reshape transportation, offering opportunities for savvy investors. The bottom line is that this market is huge. The electric

Given flying cars’ ability to ferry passengers to different locations within cities quite cheaply, I’ve long believed that the demand for flying cars will eventually go through the roof (no pun intended). While researching this article, I found that many researchers have reached the same conclusion about flying cars, also called eVTOLs. That’s short for

An Ernst & Young survey revealed that 48% of the U.S. consumers who plan on purchasing a new car in the next 24 months plan on going electric, making EV stocks a compelling investment proposition. On the global stage, the trend is equally encouraging. Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicates that electric vehicle

When I think of blue-chip stocks, companies in the S&P 500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average come to mind. If you want to find blue-chip stocks to buy trading at all-time lows in the final quarter of 2023, you might be out of luck.  According to Finviz.com, 62 S&P 500 stocks are at or near

Expectations are extremely bullish for Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock as it prepares to issue its latest earnings today. Third-quarter financial results from technology companies have been hit-and-miss. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) knocked it out of the park with its Q3 print, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG/NASDAQ:GOOGL) not so much. Seaport Research Partners issued a “buy” rating on AMZN stock along with

The U.S. economy has defied expectations as it accelerates despite higher interest rates, resumed student loan payments, and geopolitical tensions. Analysts have raised their forecasts, with Goldman Sachs increasing its third-quarter growth estimate to 4% from 3.7%, and High Frequency Economics raising its third and fourth-quarter forecasts. This has led to the emergence of tech
