Renewable energy companies are among the hardest hit by global macroeconomic factors like high-interest rates.  But with rates appearing to

While the broader market has had its ups and downs over the past year, someone forgot to give that memo to the red-hot nuclear energy sector.  The Global X Uranium ETF (URA) is up more than 54% since March 2023.

Letting your winners run is a proven strategy on Wall Street, but one that’s hard to pull off. The temptation to take profits by removing your original investment becomes too great — but doing that greatly diminishes your returns. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) began its run toward being the most valuable company in the world when the

At first glance, a concerted focus on stable blue-chip stocks might seem excessively cautious. After all, the market is booming, companies are hiring and people are spending. Don’t readily believe everything that you hear. No, I’m not advocating a doom-and-gloom narrative. However, there’s some evidence that a rotation out of the usual suspects – typically
