The conflict in the Middle East is only getting worse. After an attack on Israel last week and a subsequent attack on Lebanese leaders, both in Lebanon and Iran, tensions have definitely risen. Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State, has indicated that Iran is likely to strike back within the next 24-48 hours. While the

The potential for marijuana legalization in the U.S. generated a lot of excitement in the cannabis industry. The rescheduling of the drug from a Schedule I controlled dangerous substance to a Schedule III drug was a big step forward. But despite promises from politicians, legalization is still no closer to happening. Marijuana companies really don’t

It is safe to say that 2024 has been a disappointing year for those who invested in consumer staple stocks. The widely feared and talked about recession has not arrived, and so far the Fed has not made any rate cuts this year despite high anticipation. Although the interest rate cut is most likely going

Suddenly we’re headed for a recession. Or so it seems on Wall Street. Weak jobs and manufacturing data raised fears that the economy is slowing more rapidly than expected. This has led to an acceleration of the stock market selloff that began in July, with the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite index officially entering a correction, defined

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has been one of the hottest stocks of 2024, with shares nearly doubling year-to-date on the wave of artificial-intelligence (AI) hype. The data analytics software provider is seen as a prime beneficiary of the AI revolution, especially given its deep ties to the U.S. government. However, as Palantir prepares to report Q2

Cybersecurity company CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) has been renowned for its Falcon platform that provides endpoint protection and threat intelligence. However, the stock has faced significant challenges recently, plummeting over 35% in two weeks. This decline started after a software update caused widespread disruptions. As we write, CRWD stock is trading around $217, down 15% year-to-date (YTD).

Selling defense stocks at a time when the wider market is showing strong growth may seem counterintuitive to investors. However, with more uncertainty set to reign in the months ahead, it now is a good time to trim. In recent years, defense stocks have rallied throughout Wall Street. VanEck’s Defense ETF has grown 36.54% in

With the painful market sell-off kicking things up a notch to start the month of August, it’s not hard to imagine many investors are seeking an exit point from some of their vulnerable stocks. Indeed, those “AI bubble” fears you may have heard about feel more real than ever. This is especially true with the

Growth stocks have been off to a strong start in 2024. Artificial intelligence tailwinds have propelled many sectors, and the technology has been a boon for the major indices. The S&P 500 is up by 13% year-to-date while the Nasdaq Composite has gained 14% year-to-date. However, dark clouds are forming on the horizon. With those dark

There’s nothing wrong with trying to get in early on a stock. Some of your best winners will be companies you identify before the rest of the pack – that’s why investors spend a lot of time researching new trends and trying to get in on the ground floor, but these F-rated stocks to sell

The S&P 500 has been a common choice for passive investors. It has delivered steady returns over the years, especially for investors who withstood market corrections and continued to make regular investments.  The stock market has done an excellent job of outperforming many types of assets, but not every S&P 500 holding has been a

Lofty expectations aren’t necessarily a good thing. As Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) is going all-in on its chip fabrication business, the burden of proof lies on the company’s shoulders. It has to spend a lot of time, money and effort now hoping to make that money back. So, with Intel Foundry only being a “show-me” story right now,

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) ripped higher after earnings beat expectations. Net income of $265 million, 69 cents per share when adjusted and revenue of $5.8 million were all pleasant surprises. Net income was more than double that of the first quarter. There’s more to come, according to the earnings release. Third quarter revenue was estimated

Earnings season for this year’s second quarter rolls on. And while the results have been largely better than expected, some prints have been real doozies. Certain companies have seen their share price fall by 15% or more in a single day after they delivered financial results and guidance than fell short of Wall Street expectations.

Make no mistake: it’s still a time when you should be thinking about which cannabis stocks to sell, not which cannabis stocks to buy. Yes, based on the sheer volume of public comments submitted to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in support of a proposed rescheduling of marijuana, U.S. cannabis legalization progress seemingly keeps moving

Market volatility has picked up significantly, with tech stocks (again) leading the entire market lower on Thursday, a day after recovering markedly from Wednesday’s losses. Indeed, it can be a rather stomach-churning experience to be invested in stock markets these days. With stocks kicking off August with a steep plunge, many beginner investors may be

Bloomberg’s Matt Levine summed up best in his July 17 opinion piece about Trump Media & Technology Group (NASDAQ:DJT) when he said that people buy Trump Media stock because it has “Trump” in the name.  “Last quarter it had revenue of $770,500 from selling ads on its social media site, and its operating cash flow

For many investors, recognizing that a stock is overvalued can be a difficult task when the broader media is lauding its accomplishments. Yet a healthy bump in earnings or revenue can often translate into an overvaluation in a short amount of time. This has been especially common in the artificial intelligence industry, which has led

The electric vehicle industry is evolving significantly as it matures and more competition enters the fray. Consequently, we’re witnessing multiple dynamics play out, including pricing wars, the introduction of new models and technology enhancements. Only the most nimble and innovative will survive in such a hotly competitive industry. Unfortunately, for Lucid Group’s (NASDAQ: LCID) investors,

During his brief tenure as a Senator for the state of Ohio, Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance introduced the Drive American Act, which was intended to eliminate over $100 billion in existing electric vehicle (EV) subsidies and replace them with the America First Vehicle Credit to promote gas-powered vehicles made in the United States.
