Stocks to buy

During times of extreme volatility, even the most seasoned investors may struggle to pick safe stocks to buy for the long run. In such periods, it may be inspiring to review the stocks held by the Gates Foundation, which we will refer to as Bill Gates stocks. Established in 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates

With Russia gobbling Ukraine, China threatening to take Taiwan, and the damage from climate change becoming obvious, it can seem hard to make a case for any stock. Even Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL).

Undervalued semiconductor stocks have declined sharply in 2022, pushing many stocks to 52-week lows.

Today, we introduce seven ETFs to buy in June. Wall Street has seen rocky days so far in 2022. Benchmark indices, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq 100,  declined over 13%, 9% and 22% year-to-date (YTD).

Nio (NYSE:NIO) has been executing fairly better than some of its peers. This is all the more evident when we go over the hiccups some of the U.S. startups face when they transition from pre-revenue to commercialization stage. Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN), for one, launched its R1T electric pickup truck well ahead of market leader Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA),

[embedded content] Welcome, folks, to our weekly Hypergrowth Investing podcast, where — to kick off this week’s episode — we check in with one of my favorites: SoFi (SOFI) stock.

After taking a drubbing through the first five months of 2022, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has rallied by nearly 19% since early May. What triggered the apparent turnaround?  On May 3, the company reported its first-quarter 2022 earnings. AMD destroyed Wall Street expectations for both revenue and earnings.

Over the past eighteen months, integrated oil giant ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) has made a stunning recovery. During this timeframe, XOM stock has nearly tripled in price.

Despite the benchmark S&P 500 index being down 14% year-to-date, and the technology-focused Nasdaq having fallen 24% on the year, there are many stocks that have bucked the downturn trend and continued to grow at a strong clip. Investors willing to look around and allocate

A spate of bad retailer earnings reports caused shares across the sector to crash in the middle of last month. Costco (NASDAQ:COST) was no exception.

When there’s a major news item concerning e-commerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), financial traders pay attention. Something is happening that will make AMZN stock more accessible to investors with small accounts, and that’s bullish for the stock.
