Stocks to buy

The Evergrande crisis seems like China’s Lehmann moment. The markets have been jittery and it remains to be seen if there is a larger spill-over.

After the financial crisis of 2009, the S&P 500 index bottomed out in March. Between 2009 and 2019, the index returned 168%. A $1,000 investment in the index would have been worth $2,680. However, at the same time, growth stocks also provided a different type of opportunity for investors. During the same period, a $1,000

Cybersecurity technology company CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) has given investors plenty to cheer about lately.

At the end of last year, I wrote that analysts’ earnings projections for Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) were $9.46 per share for 2021. Now those same analysts have average earnings per share (EPS) forecasts of $30.12 for 2021, or over 3 times the prior numbers. I wrote that MRNA stock was worth $180. But as of Friday,

Even with the major stock-market indexes showing gains for 2021 year-to-date, shares of Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have gone nowhere as of mid-September.

The markets are entering the last quarter of another eventful year for equities as an asset class. Without doubt, the year will be remembered for Reddit and Meme stocks.

It’s no secret the investing world is obsessed with all-electric vehicles (EVs). Several EV stocks, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) being chief among them, have given investors triple-digit gains this year. But in recent weeks, the stocks have seen a correction. Against this backdrop, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, down 12.5% last month, becomes an interesting play. Source: Michael Vi/Shutterstock.com

Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA), the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) drug company, certainly has had a rough time. In fact, one author recently called SAVA stock a “volatile, battleground stock.” This is because the company has endured a number of short attacks recently. Most of these came out after their recent September release of 9-month Phase 2 results.

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock is in a slump. It’s not anywhere near the extent of punishment it suffered in 2019 when NIO stock plummeted 85% in 8 months. However, NIO is down 29% from the end of June when it was trading just over the $53 mark. And it’s down about 30% since the start of the

Cinema stocks weren’t buzzworthy until 2021 when movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) became a target of Reddit traders.

Everyone loves to hate AT&T (NYSE:T) stock and with good reason.

As a result, T stock has been a total dud over the years.  In fact, the only thing

A pharmaceutical play, Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) has been on the move. In fact, NVAX stock has risen nearly three times higher since November of last year.

However, despite the price appreciation, I believe there is still plenty of upside

Just because we hit retirement, doesn’t mean we’re making a total shift to bonds. There are still stocks to buy that are both interesting and profitable.
