The Dow stocks have finally had a chance to out-flex the outperforming, tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 for a change. With value plays, mid-caps, and “boring” blue chips starting to gain steam over their high-flying tech counterparts, the market rally’s breadth stands to improve.

Investing in growth stocks gives investors the opportunity to outperform major benchmarks like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. Growth-oriented firms regularly exhibit rising revenue.

Much of this jump is attributed to the hyper-growth stocks propping up investors’ faith in the stock market. Hyper-growth stocks are stocks that analysts expect to increase their revenue and earnings

The third quarter of 2024 is shaping up to be a very interesting time. Wall Street is largely anticipating that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September.  While bullish, this news could potentially trigger a stock market correction. This can be characterized as a ‘’sell the news’’ event, in which the release might already be priced into the market.

But amidst the minefield of duds, there are always a few diamonds in the rough with legitimate 10-bagger potential. I’ve sifted through the bargain bin to bring you seven of the

The Nasdaq Composite has been a solid benchmark for many years. It’s up by 16% year-to-date and has logged a 114% gain over the past five years. The index consists of numerous holdings but has a large focus on tech companies. The Magnificent Seven stocks, in particular, carry a lot of weight within the Nasdaq

Investing in innovative companies can yield substantial returns, and Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) stock exemplifies this potential.

Lithium prices are struggling at multi-year lows, forcing some miners to consider closing down mines and delaying projects. But I’d use that as a reason to buy beaten-down lithium stocks for the long term. After all, we’ve seen this play out before. In 2018, prices peaked due to oversupply, which led to a massive 60%

No matter how you slice it, Donald Trump has the more straightforward path to the White House. Republican voters overwhelmingly chose him over other candidates.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has been one of the brightest stars in the Magnificent Seven rally, with the stock delivering incredible multibagger returns from its 2022 selloff lows. I was pounding the table on META back then, seeing immense value in the company’s core business despite the market’s pessimism. And so far, that bullish thesis has
