In general, dividend investors have a conservative approach. The focus is on blue-chip stocks with a good track record of dividends. However, some high dividend-yield stocks do not represent blue-chip companies. Yet, the valuation and yield are attractive enough for investors to consider some exposure, with these companies having average to good fundamentals. This column
Investors seeking higher returns on their capital often turn to hypergrowth stocks. These assets have great potential and can comfortably exceed the returns of the S&P 500 if the companies continue to grow at high rates. Finding hypergrowth stocks with substantial potential takes some work. Investors have to look for a healthy combination of high

There are winners and losers in every industry. So are you making the right decision when it comes to avoiding the worst AI stocks? Since ChatGPT was released earlier this year AI overtook blockchain as the trendy buzzword in the investment world. This has made it difficult to see past the hype in AI, as
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an invaluable tool for investors seeking opportunities in the stock market. Its ability to analyze large amounts of data and recognize patterns makes it an ally in identifying high-potential stocks. I asked ChatGPT which biotech stocks it recommends for investment in July and it provided the following three companies. Let’s
At the end of June, investment giant BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) released a mid-year outlook report. A hallmark of the company’s diligent research, these reports highlight key areas that the BlackRock team sees impacting global investors for months and years to come. BlackRock’s “big picture” takeaway included an outlook contrary to much of today’s return to market exuberance. Specifically, the
Why would the experts on Wall Street be so bullish on Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock now? Probably, a major consideration is the company’s ambitious development of hardware to support artificial intelligence applications. But before you take a share position in AMD, consider whether you’re getting in at the best possible time. After all, the
As discussed in my last article on QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, electric vehicle stocks began to rally at the start of July, on the heels of Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) latest delivery numbers. The TSLA rally has stalled, but interestingly enough, more speculative EV plays keep climbing. QS stock is no exception. Other early-stage EV names, like Lucid
Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock surges as strong deliveries fuel investor optimism. The company exceeded analysts’ delivery expectations for the quarter, showcasing continued growth in the electric vehicle market.

Social media gave rise to so-called meme stocks and although the investment case was always practically non-existent, meme stocks to sell are those that have failed to make something out of their newfound celebrity. The argument for holding onto a meme stock, apart from participating in a social media trend, is that the company suddenly
The “meme stock madness” that sent GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock “to the moon” during 2021 is now but a distant memory. Yet even after giving back most of its gains from this speculative frenzy, GME stock continues to punch above its weight, valuation-wise. GME’s nearly $7 billion valuation vastly exceeds the likely underlying value of its
When I asked Bard for some “out of this world” information on investing in space stocks, it gave me Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE), Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ:RKLB), and the iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF (BATS:ITA).

For example, in the first half of this year, the S&P 500 gained over 16% of equity value. Such a robust performance implies investors don’t need to sound the alarm. Nevertheless, forward indicators may encourage consideration of long-term
Inflation-resistant stocks naturally dominated the equities research landscape as a robust labor market continued to confound the Federal Reserve. However, we may have reached a point where the central bank has had enough. If policymakers don’t lay down the gauntlet, accelerating prices may get out of control. Therefore, it’s time to consider investing during disinflation.
Best biotech stocks represents a concept that, no matter what, the market cycle fundamentally delivers relevance. Now, let me back up by stating that no individual company offers a guarantee of success to investors. You must conduct your own due diligence.

We know millions of electric vehicles around the world will need supply, and that there simply isn’t enough. We’ll see higher prices for lithium, which will lead to higher stock prices for lithium stocks, especially those still considered
Semiconductor stocks have been a tremendous sector for investors in 2023. In fact, thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence, most have seen a historic rise in demand and interest. Indeed, looking through the first half of the year, many of the market’s highest-return stocks were in the chip space. But is it too late to get
