Stocks to buy

My view is that expansionary monetary policy in the second half of 2024 is likely to be a major catalyst for a broad-based market rally. It’s therefore a good time to accumulate high-quality growth stocks. At the same time, risk taking investors can consider exposure to undervalued penny stocks that can potentially go ballistic. While

In an ocean of listed stocks, it’s likely that investors miss on good businesses that are trading at attractive valuations. Once these undiscovered stocks picks are in the limelight, the rally can be ferocious. Keep in mind that stocks listed on main exchanges have higher visibility. In general, investors look at stocks trading on the

If there’s one thing that Shell (NYSE:SHEL) likes to do, it’s return capital to the company’s loyal shareholders. They do this through buybacks and dividends. Every passive-income investor needs to take a look at Shell stock and take advantage of the undeniable buy-and-hold opportunity. I sincerely hope that my message reaches as many U.S. investors as

An investor needs to be looking for stocks that can ride out a period of general downturn in the market. Three key players come to mind, each offering its own investment opportunity as a store of value in turbulent market environments. The first one exemplifies outstanding organic revenue growth and shows evidence of the importance of core

When nested within a comprehensive and well-rounded portfolio, private equity and venture capital are often seen as the Holy Grail of diversified investing. Though illiquid and with a few other negative traits, private equity and venture capital investing offer uncorrelated assets and, with venture capital specifically, access to tomorrow’s biggest companies before they go public—if

Dividend investing has a long, successful track record that makes it one of the best strategies investors can use. The best dividend growth stocks to buy tend to be those that regularly raise their shareholder payout. The asset managers at Hartford Funds looked at the performance of the benchmark S&P 500 going all the way

Under-the-radar penny stocks can be some of the most rewarding investments on the market. Look at ACADIA Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ACAD), for example.  Back in 2011, the biotech was just developing its treatment of Parkinson’s disease psychosis and traded at just 70 cents. By 2015, it was at $51.24. Or, look at Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). In 2015,

Investors seeking reliable AI-powered returns should consider robotics stocks. Many companies are leveraging artificial intelligence to create human-like robots. As discomforting as that truth may be to some, the economic potential therein is massive. The numbers behind the opportunity are staggering. Between 2023 and 2030 the artificial intelligence robots market could grow at a compound annual

Travel demand is accelerating with major sector names reporting strong demand ahead of the key holiday period, underscoring the potential of airline stocks to buy before summer. Last week, Booking.com said it expects to see strong travel demand despite the slowdown in certain regions, namely the Middle East. Booking.com said it expects room-night growth to

Economists are divided on the question of when, or if, a recession will occur. Some even support the argument that we’ve been in a rolling recession. Whatever your thoughts on the matter, the fact that a potential recession is still being discussed should put you on the hunt for recession-proof retail stocks.   Of course, the

As the global push for sustainability gains momentum, investors are eyeing renewable energy stocks to buy. Currently, an increasing number of nations are committing to tripling installed renewable energy generation capacity by 2030 in pursuit of the 1.5°C climate goal. In addition, consumer demand for eco-friendly products is putting clean energy stocks on Wall Street

While passive income should be a high priority in your overall investment strategy, acquiring quality names can be expensive, which brings us to low-cost dividend stocks. By moving away from the spotlight, you can find some attractive ideas. Of course, dividends are like anything. You can find some incredibly high-paying enterprises at the risk of

One of the biggest mistakes an investor can make during earnings season is assuming that just because a stock went down, the company reported bad quarterly numbers.  That isn’t always the case.  Just consider: Arm Holdings (ARM).  The AI chip designer reported quarterly earnings last night. And ARM stock dropped in response. Obviously, that’s because

Undervalued dividend stocks present two return routes: price appreciation or dividend payments that add to income. As of this writing, the market has some attractive dividend opportunities you buy. Indeed, several undervalued dividend stocks are near lows. Some deserve their underperformance due to their declining fundamentals. Buying them would be akin to catching a falling

In the late 1970s, Louis Navellier – then a college student, now a senior analyst at InvestorPlace – accidentally beat the market. By running financial data through a Wells Fargo mainframe computer (an enormous privilege at the time!), he came across a model that beat the S&P 500 by a considerable margin. Since then, he’s

It may seem counterintuitive to invest in undervalued airline stocks now. The recent economic reports have stoked fears the U.S. may be heading toward a crippling stagflation scenario. Inflation remains sticky, while the recent GDP data indicates a substantial economic slowdown. However, Mr. Market’s biggest nemesis in Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell feels we’re probably getting ahead of ourselves

Since the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 have gained 6% and 10% year-to-date, now is the time to buy undervalued stocks under $20. Investors are anticipating three rate cuts from a now dovish Federal Reserve, and even though GDP growth slowed down in Q1, corporate profits are strong, which is often a good sign of how healthy the market is. Investors are happy

On May 4, value investing disciples trooped to Omaha, Nebraska, for Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) annual general meeting. Everyone was eager to hear what Warren Buffett had to say about the economy and Berkshire’s operations. The company’s vaunted equity portfolio is a north star for many value investors seeking the best Warren Buffett stocks to

I recently discussed the best $20 stocks to buy in April. Now I’m hunting for the best $50 stocks to buy this spring. Rather than select stocks under $50, I will look at all S&P 500 stocks trading within $5 of $50 as I write this. According to Finviz.com, there are 435 stocks over $40. From

Large-cap stocks tend to offer less volatility. Many of these corporations are leaders in their industries with vast moats. It’s difficult for any competitor to disrupt these businesses.  These undervalued large-cap stocks share several characteristics. Each of them has rising revenue, but net income is growing at a faster pace for each of these companies.
