Stocks to buy

I asked Bard for its prediction of the top 7 performing stocks for 2024. The results were interesting, to say the least. The AI service predicts that 2024 will be a lot like 2023 has been. In other words, tech firms are going to lead the market, and Bard expects that investors will see the

In investments, the pursuit of stocks that promise to be gems in the rough is a thrilling endeavor. But how do you identify the stars among the multitude of options?

The electric vehicle (EV) charging market is one of the fastest-growing segments in the transportation sector, and the increasing adoption of EVs, supportive government policies, and technological advancements are some of the key drivers for this market. Among the different types of EV chargers, such as slow, fast, and ultra-fast, the fast chargers are expected

Wayne Gretzky once said, “I skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.” For our purposes, it simply tells us to invest based on what will happen in the future, rather than relying on current events to determine where to put your money. Look at clean energy stocks, for example. Even

Over time, small-cap stocks far outperform their larger cousins. The two-decade period between 1999 and 2020 saw the Russell 2000 small-cap index more than triple in value compared to a 120% return by the S&P 500. Not even the tech-charged Nasdaq 100 came close to catching the performance of these small-cap stock picks. That’s why

A mix of trepidation and optimism permeate the fluctuating U.S. stock market landscape at this time. Consequently, the hunt for stocks to buy for under $100 becomes more of a strategic endeavor. The market has been weighed down by heightened Treasury yields and the looming shadow of inflation, which presents its challenges. So, as volatility

Every investor is a phenomenal stock picker with hindsight. If investors could go back five years and buy stocks with today’s hindsight, they would pick companies like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Those two stocks grabbed many headlines and generated substantial returns for shareholders. Some investors like to allocate a portion of their portfolios toward stocks they believe can

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are among the core options for income-based investing. I would go as far as arguing that REITs don’t even have to be located in tax-efficient accounts, as their dividend yields are so substantial that taxes don’t erode their compounding potential. Moreover, some REITs are positioned for solid capital gains after

The recent decision by the Federal Reserve to maintain steady interest rates highlights a complex situation that policymakers are grappling with. Despite the robust performance of the U.S. economy, there is uncertainty at the central bank regarding the tightness of financial conditions necessary to rein in inflation, which still exceeds its 2% target. Fed Chair

The current five trillion-dollar companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges include Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Nvidia (NASD AQ:NVDA).  These five and two others, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), make up “the Magnificent Seven”. The Globe and Mail published a story on Nov. 1 that pointed out the Magnificent

There seems to be good news for the markets with the likelihood of rate cuts in 2024. With potential expansionary policies, the S&P 500 is likely to trend higher. Of course, challenges remain in the form of inflation and geopolitical tensions. However, I’m still optimistic and I believe that several stocks and sectors are poised

Regardless of whether you’re a Wall Street veteran or new to investing, the past four years have been a roller coaster ride. A global pandemic brought a 14-year-long bull market to a screeching halt. It quickly revived into another stock boom that saw the S&P 500 hit a new all-time high, only to reverse course

Volatility and a souring macroeconomic outlook have created a lot of downward pressure for tech stocks in recent weeks, investors fearing the high valuations many of them boast are unsustainable as growth prospects dim. Despite the broader pressures, this hasn’t tarnished potential of emerging tech stocks. However, as tech stocks begin to emerge from their

Oil markets got spooked this week, right in time for Halloween. On Monday, World Bank economists warned that oil prices could peak close to $150 per barrel. That news, driven by geopolitical risk, could keep inflation running hot. We’d essentially see a repeat of last year’s energy price debacle. Some oil stocks would benefit from

A lack of price competition has prevented hydrogen energy from garnering investment attention, unlike solar and wind projects have enjoyed. While the Biden Administration did pass the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, which provides tax incentives and subsidies to clean energy projects, hydrogen stocks haven’t done so well in 2023. Case in point, the Global X Hydrogen

Let’s be clear: the Nasdaq index has done very well in 2023. The emergence of generative AI has propelled the leading tech firms much higher this year, leading to strong returns. However, valuation concerns remain, and that has affected stocks of late. Since its peak in July, the Nasdaq has fallen by 9% as of writing. That

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock is a challenging banking proposition. The company took away the buildings and most of the people. It has a national banking license but no branches. The business is defined by the net interest margin it can extract from its target market. Net Interest Margin and Sofi Stock As I wrote last

Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and other emerging innovations that reshape our lives and economies remain a focal point for investors seeking robust growth. With top tech stocks constantly innovating, allocation to the sector is mandatory. However, rapid innovation also causes massive disruption.
