Investing in dividend stocks is generally reserved for those who prefer steady returns and low volatility over the thrill of rapid potential gains. Investors saw tech stocks explode in 2023 as artificial intelligence emerged. In 2024, investors expect further growth but are also hesitant. Economists believe that a soft landing is the most likely scenario. Let’s all hope that

Quantum computing stocks stand out as symbols of innovation in a tech world that is quickly changing. They promise to push the limits of processing power and computer efficiency. As investors look for more ground-breaking quantum technology investments, these stocks become more appealing. The quantum computing market is undergoing rapid growth and transformation. As a
Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is a strong competitor in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Furthermore, Alphabet’s revenue growth should impress investors. Yet, short-term traders recently dumped their Alphabet shares. That’s not a problem, though. My bullish GOOG stock forecast indicates that any drawdown is just an opportunity to start buying. There
The “Magnificent Seven” stocks may garner the lion’s share of market attention right now, but while there may be strong potential with some of “Mag 7” names, check out opportunities making far fewer headlines, like undervalued large-cap stocks. Although there are many large-cap value stocks that are “value traps,” or stocks trading at a low
Wealthier consumers are likely to continue to be shielded from macroeconomic challenges. As a result, I expect to watch many successful travel stocks that cater to these consumers to continue to thrive in 2024. Meanwhile, a very well-respected consulting firm, Deloitte, recently wrote that companies will seek a balance between budgeting and the benefits that
While the Nasdaq exchange and S&P 500 grabbed the headlines because of the massive run-up by the so-called Magnificent 7 stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plodded on with its Dow stocks to buy. It recorded its own double-digit gains for the year, and ended 2023 at an all-time high. This was not too shabby
A day doesn’t go by when another large asset management firm discusses why they are abandoning China for other international stock picks. The reality is that China stocks are out, but you should still consider stocks from other foreign countries. On Jan. 20, Bloomberg reported that Vontobel Asset Management—the Zurich-based asset manager had assets under management
At a cursory look at premium electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID), it’s easy to become discouraged. Over the past 52 weeks, its equity shares suffered a devastating loss of more than 72%. Fundamentally, the EV price war that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) initiated has come back to bite it in the hind end. Lucid was no
Blue-chip stocks to buy offer greater stability and long-term certainty than smaller equities. These stocks are optimal for buy-and-hold investors. However, investors who monitor the stock market will notice dips from time to time. While dips can cause some investors to panic, savvy individuals recognize these blue-chip stocks to buy dips as buying opportunities. Accumulating
Within the vast landscape of publicly listed companies across the U.S. stock exchanges, sleeper stocks are perhaps the most intriguing. These stocks usually dwell in the shadows due to near-term headwinds yet harbor substantial long-term potential. These sleeper stocks quietly lurk in the investment realm, significantly undervalued and overlooked. While they promise alluring rewards, they
While it’s a relative rarity because price generally discounts everything, that doesn’t mean you can’t find stocks to buy on dip. With thousands upon thousands of securities available, it’s impossible for analysts to track them all with equal weight. Further, the “in” securities tend to attract the most attention. After all, Wall Street isn’t about
As we enter February 2024, the stock market continues to power ahead, led by Big Tech. However, pockets of overvaluation are appearing, especially with the technology sector trading at 27.5 times the next twelve-month earnings. Considering that starting valuations are a key determinant of forward returns, it’s time to rotate into some undervalued stocks in February 2024.
Newly released documents indicate that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has “determined that cannabis has a legitimate medical use and that it should be moved from Schedule I to Schedule III on the controlled substances list.” With Presidential elections round the corner, there are hopes for federal level legalization of cannabis.

Technical analysis may still be a controversial idea to some of the old guard but it’s the only methodology I’m aware of that will give you stocks flashing buy signals.

I cannot stress enough how risky OTC stocks or securities traded over the counter really are. For one thing, just the name OTC should ring some alarm bells. This designation means that these securities don’t trade on exchanges like the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq. Instead, they trade via broker-dealer networks. And not
Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:MARA) continues to be in focus as a way for crypto investors to gain exposure to the price of the key commodity it mines – Bitcoin (BTC-USD).

These companies are currently not fairly valued when considering how disruptive this transition could be. The companies discussed in this article reflect
Demand for batteries is only set to accelerate. After all, according to the energy transition think tank RMI, “Battery demand is growing exponentially, driven by a domino effect of adoption that cascades from country to country and from sector to sector. This battery domino effect is set to enable the rapid phaseout of half of global
While the Biden Administration did pass the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, which provides tax incentives and subsidies to clean energy projects, hydrogen stocks ended 2023 on a sour note. Case in point, the Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) fell 36.5%. If you glance at how the ETF has performed over the last twelve months, its price has fallen by more than 55%.
Quantum computing is a new field of computing which utilizes quantum mechanics to produce machines that can handle far more calculations than traditional computers. The goal of quantum computing is to produce qubits, which are a measure of computing capacity. So far, the industry hasn’t managed to sustainably achieve enough qubits to supplant other types
