For cannabis stock investors, April ended in absolute euphoria. The sector has skyrocketed this week. The rally came on reports that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is set to reclassify marijuana’s controlled substance status. Marijuana is currently in Schedule 1, which is the strictest level of regulatory enforcement. This planned reclassification would move marijuana
Should you own every single member of the so-called Magnificent Seven in 2024? Not necessarily. Indeed, it may be time to cross Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) off of the Mag-7 list. After we delve into some of Apple’s issues, you’ll have a better understanding of why we’re assigning a “D” grade to Apple stock. We’d be hard-pressed to give
Lithium prices may finally be bottoming out, creating substantial opportunity for some of the world’s top lithium stocks to buy. For one, Bank of America analyst Steven Byrne sees lithium prices averaging about $14,000 per metric ton, as noted by Barron’s. That’s up from a previous estimate for $10,000. For 2025, he says prices could reach
According to Harvard University, about two-thirds of United States adults are “overweight or obese,” while 36% are obese. And the university predicts that, at the current rate, about 50% of Americans will be obese by 2030. But the good news is that the obesity rate seems to have declined in recent years. That’s because in
2023 was not a good year for solar stocks. As the S&P 500 gained over 25%, solar ETFs like the Invesco Solar ETF are down nearly 40%. As solar stocks to buy become cheaper and macroeconomic conditions change, they are progressively becoming better investments. With slightly negative inflation data and economic growth in 2024 uncertain,
Investors are always looking for lesser-known stocks to buy. The public’s attention is sometimes only driven to the largest and most well-known stocks. However, there are equally promising growth stocks with excellent potential that are lesser known. These stocks offer investors an excellent opportunity to get their hands on a promising prospect before massive public
Identifying strong stocks to buy and hold for the long haul can be challenging in a capitalist market. Many of today’s largest companies have reshaped industries and generated immense returns for long-term investors on the way. For reference, take Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), founded over 30 years ago in 1993, leading the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom. So,
The S&P 500 and other major stock indices continue to waver. April continues to be a volatile month. Inflation continues to be sticky with rates growing above 3% for the third straight month in March. There are also other indications that growth may be slowing. Yet, there continues to be reason for S&P 500 Bulls
For those looking for short-squeeze stocks to buy, I would first like to let you know a few key things. These are the types of stocks that retail investors chase for big-time returns, and while it is up to you to decide what you do with your money, I would still warn that steering clear
Meme stocks are names that have gained a large following because of activity on social media. Of course, meme stocks’ heyday was back in 2021, and most of the names that went on a tear thanks to their popularity on social media have subsequently crashed. Among these stocks are GameStop (NYSE:GME), AMC (NYSE:AMC) and Ocugen
Space stocks are becoming increasingly appealing to investors as broader market indices, such as the S&P 500, experience declines. This market downturn presents a unique opportunity. Savvy investors can acquire shares of space stocks at significantly reduced prices. And this could potentially lead to seven-figure opportunities. Investing in these companies at an early stage can
Metaverse stocks captured immense attention in 2021 before quickly fading from the investment scene. Many now dismiss metaverse stocks as artifacts of the zero interest rate era, and while there’s truth in this, the reality is more nuanced. Like other rapidly emerging sectors like cannabis and space exploration, metaverse stocks initially surged on speculation but
Wall Street continues to dislike Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) because it is losing large amounts of money, and the Street has little or no tolerance for such companies because interest rates are high. Moreover, many of those who believe that higher-for-longer rates will inevitably doom such firms are selling short the shares of companies like Plug
Is the market likely to see a reset, similar to the ones after the dot-com bubble in 2000 and the 2008 financial crisis? As with everything in economics, opinions are divided. In this uncertain environment, identifying energy stocks to avoid becomes a critical strategy for investors looking to safeguard their portfolios. What is known is
5G stocks have an increasingly bad rap, as initial trends (reminiscent of blockchain enthusiasm, then artificial intelligence exuberance) pointed to every 5G company as a millionaire-maker. But, just as we saw with blockchain and are starting to see with AI, only a handful of companies are truly innovative and worth buying for the long-term: the
There are some REITs to avoid in this continued “higher for longer” interest rate environment. These investment vehicles are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates due to their reliance on debt financing. In this economic climate, REITs with high leverage ratios, short-term debt maturities and limited cash flows may struggle to maintain profitability and dividend
The Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) was launched on July 12, 2021. The ETF included hydrogen stocks to buy that were benefiting from the global hydrogen industry. Nearly four years later, it has less than $38 million in net assets invested across 25 companies. The ETF itself has lost 79% of its value as of
There might be better times to invest in EV stocks, and I think now is the time to look for EV stocks to avoid instead. The sector is grappling with a myriad of challenges, with the biggest fishes losing a ton of value of late. With the sector’s bellwethers struggling, the situation for smaller players
Even though semiconductors and microchips are such an integral part of the global economy, there are still some chip stocks to avoid. It’s not because of a lack of demand or even customers, considering that nearly every country in the world needs microchips for one reason or another. Rather, the warning signs can be more insidious for retail investors who
Should you support a company if the government does? That’s a personal choice, of course. However, there’s no denying that Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) will have a huge advantage with the government’s financial support. For that reason, it makes perfect sense to buy Micron Technology stock now. Really, it’s not a question of whether the Micron share
