The tightening of monetary policy has translated into negative price action for various asset classes. However, the tightening cycle seems to be over with the possibility of one more rate hike before the end of the year. Policymakers are likely to go slow on rate cuts in 2024.

Investors are trying to decide which AI stocks to sell. AI stocks are facing a weakening outlook after the Fed’s latest rate decision on Sept. 20. Although the Fed did not raise rates, it did signal that rates would remain higher for longer, dealing a blow to the tech sector. The markets had already grown
Investors should stay away from companies continually declining in share price and return just as much as they should be looking to find stocks to invest in for the long term, hoping to see a substantial return eventually. The last thing you want to do is buy into a company that is a sinking ship
It’s important to keep a look out for dividend stocks to sell in your portfolio. I’ll always believe that there’s nothing better than a quality dividend stock, one that not only provides a decent return but also has a solid dividend history to reward shareholders. That’s why I will also be disappointed in a poor
Blue-chip stocks are shares of well-established, stable firms that pay dividends in most cases. It’s that combination of stability and dividend income that makes them so attractive. So, investors should scoop them up when they find blue-chip stocks that are undervalued. One of the other benefits of investing in blue-chip stocks is that they tend
With the potential for consumer spending to decrease in the months ahead, uncertainty is rising with consumer stocks. Sure, U.S. consumers have been resilient despite challenges such as high inflation and rising interest rates. However, this resilience may morph into weakness. Just this week, the Conference Board announced that the Consumer Confidence Index just hit
Despite the industrial sector playing a less outsized role in the American economy, it still is a major force in global economy. The industrial sector simply refers to companies at the heart of the economy. They produce goods and services for various industries such as aerospace, construction, mining, transportation and manufacturing. However, not all industrial
In my previous Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) article, I expressed why investors should be cautious when investing in the AI-driven stock. PLTR stock rose nearly 140% this year due to strong earnings and AI growth. However, concerns about overvaluation loom large over this meme-stock-turned-AI-champion. My view on this company remains the same. Indeed, Palantir posted its third
Much discussion revolves around the return of mandatory federal student loan payments, a development that will notably benefit SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock. Bank of America analysts are optimistic about SOFI stock because of the obligation for federal student loan borrowers to repay their debts. However, there are additional compelling reasons to consider investing in SoFi
Wall Street has been very upset about the results of the Federal Reserve meeting earlier this month. However, there are still many reasons to be optimistic about U.S. stocks — especially safer large-cap stocks — going forward. For one, I don’t think that the results of the meeting were actually as hawkish as the Street
Ahead of a possible recession, investors may want to consider certain vice stocks to buy. To be sure, the main reason centers on cynicism. With funds tight during a market downturn, consumers won’t open their wallets unless there’s a compelling reason to. And vice plays do exactly that, compel. At the core, sin stocks represent
On the surface, the concept of oil stocks to buy seems rather irrelevant. After all, the political and ideological winds push renewable energy sources like wind and solar. In addition, electric vehicles stand poised to take over the transportation and mobility paradigm. Still, these factors don’t necessarily mean that oil stocks are irrelevant. Far from
Small-cap stocks are a perennial favorite among retail investors. On average, small-cap stocks (as a category) outperform the overall market over a long enough period. Since analysts began breaking down market capitalization by category in the US, small-cap stocks returned more than 17% annually on average. However, the upside potential is coupled with greater downside
While the health innovation space presents wild risks, you could potentially swing the odds in your favor with strong buy biotech stocks.

When considering electric vehicle (EV) stocks, investors generally start with sector behemoth Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and fan out from there. Most of the time, it comes down to choosing between electric vehicle maker A and maker B. But these are notably EV makers of cars and trucks. But what about all the other types of electric-powered
While up on the year, transportation stocks continue to trail the market. The S&P Transportation Index is up 10% in 2023, but over five years, the index is up only 12%. Railways, trucking companies, airlines, and shipping firms continue to make the global economy run but can’t seem to gain any traction with investors. And
While penny stocks promise substantial potential gains, the reality is that sub-$5 stocks are among the riskiest investments. Their low price often reflects underlying issues like weak business models, high debt, dwindling market share, and uncertain prospects. True, each new month brings fresh investment possibilities where significant capital isn’t required. Penny stocks offer opportunities with
The AI economy is changing quickly. So quickly in fact, that investors are having a hard time deciphering which Ai stocks are fascinating and which may be fads? The answer is likely to come from how companies can answer the “so what?” or maybe a better question, “now what?”, as it relates to AI.
The skies haven’t exactly been clear for the aviation world. Casting our gaze back, we recall the catastrophic impact of the pandemic, a time when the sector came to an abrupt halt, and carriers had to grapple with long spells of contracted operations. The daunting financial turbulence of 2020 set the airline industry back by
When it comes to long term investment, it’s important to consider the business fundamentals. I would only hold high quality blue-chip and growth stocks in my portfolio.
