Stock Market

From ‘buy low, sell high’ to ‘bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered,’ Wall Street’s favorite maxims are as famous as some of the traders who live by them. You might be familiar with mine: As go earnings, so go stocks.  And right now, earnings are really good.  The more money a business

Earlier this week, AI stocks had their worst day in recent memory after a new Chinese AI model, dubbed DeepSeek—a Chinese version of ChatGPT that is nearly as good but supposedly cost 95% less to develop—sparked fears that companies may not need to spend as much on creating new AI models as previously thought. AI

Editor’s note: “Want Unsurpassed Results in 2025? Follow Elon Musk’s Lead” was previously published in December 2024. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available. Autonomous vehicles, robotics, space, and AI – these are the industries that Elon Musk cares about most. And for that reason, we think the stocks therein

Happy 2025! It may be a new calendar year – but we don’t think “new year, new me” will translate for Wall Street. Instead, we think we’ll see more of the same in ‘25. And that means AI stocks should stay red-hot. Indeed, throughout 2024, the market soared, led by huge gains for AI trades.

As it often does this time of year, lately, it’s felt like we’re racing toward Christmas and New Year’s. Many folks are counting down the days until that fast-approaching holiday break, very much looking forward to some time off spent with loved ones. But in fact, the Yuletide isn’t the only exciting thing that December

Autonomous vehicles, robotics, space, and AI – these are the industries that Elon Musk cares about most. And for that reason, we think the stocks therein could succeed enormously in 2025 and ‘26. That’s because the world’s richest man has allied himself very closely with President-elect Donald Trump. And as a result, he has been

Thanks to immense technological progress, the world is rapidly changing all around us.  Admittedly, some of these changes are

Elon Musk wagered a huge bet on Donald Trump winning the White House – and that bet is already paying off. Musk spent about $130 million on the Trump campaign and related conservative efforts. And ever since it became clear that Trump won a second term in the White House, Tesla (TSLA) stock has surged

Keeping with the theme of the week, stocks’ fast-and-furious rally continued again today. Indeed, it was a really, really good day for the markets.  Sure, at the headline level, the Nasdaq only climbed about 1.5%, while the S&P 500 rose just 0.7%. That’s a pretty normal “good day” for Wall Street; nothing to write home

Let’s skip right to what you came here for: the type of stocks to buy under Trump’s second term. Many investors expect a Trump administration to have significant implications for the stock market and various sectors of the economy. Indeed, the markets are buzzing with certainty for the near-term, but is that accurate? And how

For the past several weeks, amid a flurry of positive developments in the self-driving industry, we have been pounding the table on autonomous vehicle stocks.  Indeed, just consider: Waymo is already delivering 100,000-plus autonomous rides per week throughout Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. And it’s set to expand to Austin, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia

The third-quarter earnings season has officially begun, kicked off today by big-name banks like JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and BlackRock (BLK). All topped earnings expectations.  Now, this is just a taste of the results to come. But despite the market’s uncertainty surrounding inflation and incoming rate cuts, we’re confident this earnings season will help

When a revolutionary new product launches, what’s the best way to invest in its success? By buying that product-maker’s stock… right? Maybe not.  Just consider: ever since Apple (AAPL) launched the first iPhone in June 2007, Apple stock has taken off like a rocket ship. It has risen more than 6,000% in value since that

For the past several months – really, since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022 – we’ve been laser-focused on all things artificial intelligence. And of course, the AI Boom that’s unfolding right now presents a lot of opportunities as well as risks. I mean, just imagine. This powerful tech could do things like help researchers develop

Today, stocks are rallying to fresh record highs. Though, that’s not necessarily news; it’s been happening all year long. But I’d argue that today is much more than just your average “good day” on Wall Street. In fact, this could be the Street’s best day of 2024.   Now, that’s not because stocks are posting their

Wall Street loves artificial intelligence no matter what flavor it comes in. After intelligent voice leader SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) reported second-quarter earnings on August 8, analysts engaged in a round of raising their price targets on SOUN stock.  They now have a $7.08 per share consensus view for the stock, which implies a 42% upside

Is there an artificial intelligence (AI) stock bubble that’s only starting to burst, or is the latest sell-off nothing more than a healthy, much-needed correction? That’s the big question on investors’ minds as they contemplate buying the dip in previously heated growth plays that are starting to show signs of bottoming out. Of course, only

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) might be the least loved Magnificent Seven member. Oddly enough, Tesla is either a pioneer or a pariah, depending on whom you ask about it. The best way to sum up Tesla’s current situation is: “It’s complicated.” Therefore, if you intend to buy Tesla stock, only purchase a few shares and have
