Compared to Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) stock, artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a piker. SMCI stock has nearly quadrupled in value in 2024 compared to the 90% gain by its industry peer. Supermicro, as it’s known, makes generative AI-based servers for data centers. In fact, it works closely with Nvidia. It uses the
The tech industry is filled with innovative companies that can outperform the market and generate long-term gains for investors. Some tech stocks in this industry have become generational winners and have minted millionaires. Your ability to become a millionaire in the stock market largely depends on how much capital you put into your portfolio. While
There are some gaming stocks to sell that investors should consider closely. These gaming companies are in risky positions, with declining revenues and increasing competition from newer entrants. What makes holding these companies worse is that the gaming industry is undergoing major disruptions and shifts. The rise of mobile gaming, cloud gaming services and new
Smart investors ask for proof before investing in stocks. Fortunately, some companies have generated 20% returns in a month and there’s proof. Taking home 20% gains in a month feels like a dream, but these stocks have the potential to soar higher. Although not cheap stocks, the companies are some of the best in the
Defense stocks consist of equities investors turn toward during economic or geopolitical tumult. While inflation may be under control and interest rates likely to come down later in the year, geopolitical conflicts continue proliferate. These days there is not only a war in Ukraine, but also one in the Gaza Strip. However, not all of these
Despite being priced at under $3 per share, Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock is one that many investors continue to consider to be overvalued. Some analysts have put forward optimistic target prices projecting significant returns. However, numerous factors suggest Lucid’s downward trajectory is likely to continue. Increased competition in the luxury EV market as well as
Some value hunters may be tempted to invest in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock now, but don’t assume it’s a good value. We’re giving Tesla’s stock a “D” grade and warning potential shareholders of potential price declines in 2024. Tesla CEO Elon Musk already provided some warning signals. Musk said vehicle volume growth “may be notably lower” in 2024, adding that
Without a doubt, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock is a lightning rod on Wall Street. You can love or hate the company, but you can’t just ignore SoFi Technologies.

A few months ago most consumers and investors were expecting rate cuts perhaps as early as February or March. Today, it looks like June is the more likely scenario. It is still expected that the Federal Reserve will enact three rate cuts in 2024 but the shift has limited the perception of monetary easing this
Some lithium stocks could definitely surge during the next bull run. It’s said that China essentially controls the spot price of lithium. And this is largely due to the nation’s dominance in lithium refining capacity. Currently, China accounts for nearly 60% of the world’s lithium refining, creating a bottleneck in the global supply chain. While
Though 2024’s rate cut prospects remain somewhat uncertain, with Federal Reserve officials flip-flopping between “higher for longer” and planned drawdowns, preparing your portfolio for the inevitability is still a useful exercise. Remember that investors waiting on the sidelines and keeping cash in expectation of a massive market crash over the past year missed out on
Imagine a market state where many sectors converge, with steel clinking, echoing the flow of oil and the buzz of electronic transactions. Three stocks serve as sentinels. They steer clear of the cliffs of steel manufacturing and into the wide-open spaces of energy exploration and digital finance. Deep into their fundamentals, they were created with
When it comes to dividend-growing stocks, there is never a bad time to buy. These will keep you comfortable during a recession or a pandemic and will also give you tax advantages in case of qualified dividends. Additionally, investing in them promises a mix of capital appreciation and dividend growth, something investors will crave heading
Chip stocks have continued to heat up for investors seeking to benefit from the early stages of the AI race. Undoubtedly, generative AI hit many of us like a tsunami last year, with many of the top semiconductor innovators experiencing a surge in demand for their offerings as many firms looked to jump aboard the
Last year I interviewed several thought leaders about uranium, and I have to say that I’m a fan from a long-term perspective as the quest for cleaner fuel alternatives intensifies. A single uranium pellet outperforms traditional energy sources in electricity generation. We simply can’t move toward a green future without uranium. Now of course, I
Investors looking for high dividend yields often turn to real estate investment trusts, or REITs. REITs exist virtually entirely to generate income that is then returned to shareholders via dividends. In this way, REITs can be an excellent way to generate passive streams of income. In this article, we’ll look at three high-yield REITs that
Last year was the year of the Magnificent 7 stocks, the seven tech companies that powered the S&P 500 to a 24% gain. So dominant were those seven companies that if you removed them from the equation, the benchmark index would have generated only 8% for the year. That’s because the S&P 500 is a
