While broader markets face continued pressure amid recession fears, small-cap stocks stand out as an undervalued segment of the stock market. The Russell 2000 index, the popular benchmark for small-cap stocks, is currently down 18% over the past year. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index has declined less than 12% during the same period.

The best infrastructure stocks offer a compelling mix of value and technical upside opportunities Caterpillar (CAT): This company’s valuation is back in line, and is at support.

Growth stocks have been having a painful 2022. And with another big Federal Reserve rate hike on the way, the market volatility is likely to continue. However, longer-term investors can seize the opportunity by investing at discounted prices in broader technological trends. One such opportunity is in quantum computing stocks. Quantum computing aims to reimagine
With inflation playing the spoiler, the Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked nearly 1,300 points yesterday. The hot inflation data indicates that the Federal Reserve will continue aggressively raising interest rates. That’s bad news for growth stocks. Without a doubt, it makes sense to remain overweight on blue-chip stocks that do not fluctuate very much. Even

Source: Shutterstock Wall Street had its worst day in over two years Tuesday after the August consumer inflation report came in hotter than expected. The Dow Jones dropped 1,300 points. The S&P 500 shed 4.3%. The Nasdaq tumbled 5.2%. Cryptos lost more than 10%. It was an ugly day on Wall Street. But it was
EV stocks have hit a rough patch in the last few quarters. The fundamental reasons include supply-chain issues, inflation and global macro-economic uncertainty. While near-term growth has been impacted, the long-term outlook for the electric vehicle industry remains bright. Just to put things into perspective, the electric vehicle market size is expected to touch $1.3
Market legend Jeremy Grantham has just sounded the alarm that the market is in a super bubble, and it isn’t good news for bulls hoping for a turnaround.

Kim Kardashian, one of the biggest names in the entertainment world, is making her move in the world of private equity.

These days the most popular stocks to follow are either meme plays or the most blue-chip S&P 500 companies. Very few investors seem to be interested in hidden gem stock picks. About halfway through September, the index is down almost 15% year-to-date. Of the 11 sectors in the index, only energy (up 44.8%) and utilities
Energy stocks have been the best performers of 2022, with the sector up 48% compared with a 14% loss for the broader market. In fact, the only other sector that has generated a positive return this year is utilities. Their 9% gain pales in comparison. Fueling the rise in energy stocks has been the stark
These three undervalued blue-chip stocks can make great buys for July: Goldman Sachs Group (GS): The world’s most successful investment bank continues to make money in this bear market. Microsoft (MSFT): One of the world’s rock solid technology companies is available at a bargain basement price. Nike (NKE): The leading sneaker and sports apparel company’s
With the world’s most powerful central bank committed to a hawkish monetary policy, the narrative for high-yield dividend stocks to buy – which can present fundamental risks – just got much more interesting. Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way first. While companies that pay dividends generally attract attention from long-term investors, too
It’s amusing that we’re all looking for the best metaverse stocks to buy a mere 30 years after the obscure term entered the lexicon. In 1992, author Neal Stephenson coined the term “metaverse,” which envisioned an immersive digital world that would one day leave its fiction-based origins. Few would’ve predicted that the sci-fi concept would
“Time is on my side, yes it is.” If you’re of a certain age the message sings to you. But the stock market doesn’t heed those words, and truly strong opportunities to boost long-term returns are fleeting. Moreover and pairing the two, right now Wall Street is offering the best retirement stocks for Gen-Z investors
“Sitting idle” aptly describes what’s going on with Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock right now. Although it has moved higher in recent days, shares in the early-stage electric vehicle maker remain rangebound, moving between $15 and $20 per share. In the short term, this could continue. While shares in established EV maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) may soon
I believe that the meme stock rallies we’ve seen play out in recent years aren’t likely to become commonplace. Therefore, finding the next big meme stock isn’t necessarily easy. The sorts of short squeezes and parabolic moves that have proliferated really defied the rules of theoretical finance. Seeing some of these rallies play out, by
There’s no denying it: people love Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) products. They’re willing to pay top dollar for them, yet Apple made a savvy move in not raising the price of its least expensive new iPhone model. Furthermore, Apple has new, feature-rich products besides the iPhone 14. Sensible investors can continue to hold AAPL stock with confidence.

The NFL kicked off the season this past weekend. And it was quite fun. Tom Brady proved he’s still the “GOAT” in Sunday Night Football. Patrick Mahomes’ five-touchdown
For most of 2021, investor focus was on growth stocks and highly speculative stocks. Things have changed significantly in 2022, with portfolios going overweight on defensive stocks.
