The stock market’s strong rally in 2023 caused many investors to forget about the tumultuous times in 2022. While the stock market is experiencing strong momentum at the start of the year, thanks to artificial intelligence and other factors, not everything has gone up in bullish markets. A few stocks missed out on the 2023
Some once great companies have fallen on hard times, causing their stock to sink. While surprising, the long-term decline of powerful brands is nothing new. Business history is littered with discarded companies that were once dominant but became irrelevant value traps over time. Many great companies cease to exist and become top blue-chip stocks to
There are a few flying car stocks on the market today I believe could lead to substantial gains for investors. These companies are known for high growth potential as well as relatively low valuations for what investors get for their money. Although these companies are in the very early stages of development and are risky,
While some investors prefer high-flying tech darlings, others seek “fallen angels,” or once-loved robust companies facing temporary challenges. With its shorter days and unpredictable weather, February can mirror the stock market’s volatility. Yet, for some beaten-down stocks, this season can serve as a fertile ground for potential growth. Not all stocks have participated in the
Tech stocks in the United States sustained a jaw-breaking rally in 2023, with the Nasdaq beating all other indices, accruing a more than 43% return. While stocks largely did not begin 2024 with a great start, the major indices have risen in the past few weeks. The Nasdaq has risen 6.2%, while the S&P 500 has risen 4.9%. With
Some hidden-gem 5G stocks are currently being overlooked by investors and are primed to surge in value this year. These stocks belong to companies that are either directly involved in developing and deploying 5G technology or are set to benefit significantly from its widespread adoption.

Budget semiconductor stocks are set for a boost with Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) long-anticipated halving event scheduled to take place in April. The halving is a cyclical event in which the scarcity of Bitcoin is increased as the volume of cryptocurrency awarded to miners is halved.

Last year was wild one for EV company Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). The stock surged higher toward year-end, as Tesla surpassed most of its earnings expectations. However, it appears Tesla’s delivery records were more of a result of the company’s price-cutting strategy, with CEO Elon Musk delivered a disappointing outlook due to inflation and low consumer demand.
Despite recent challenges in inflation, there are positive indicators for the future of the U.S. economy. The unexpected resilience of consumer adaptation to higher prices, suggests a growing ability to adjust to the new normal. Additionally, while the path to reaching the Federal Reserve’s inflation target may be slow, solid economic growth is anticipated. As
It makes sense that enterprise artificial intelligence company C3.ai (NYSE:AI) and its investors would benefit from the machine-learning boom. However, “AI fever” seems to have reached a dangerous tipping point. If your AI stock outlook is too optimistic, you might overlook the major downside risks. Plus, the stock is susceptible to a sharp pullback because there’s a crucial
I believe that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and AAPL stock have two core problems. First, excitement about the company’s flagship product, the iPhone, has largely evaporated. And second, the company’s efforts to create “the next big thing” to supplement the iPhone have largely failed. The Vision Pro won’t change this pattern. On the other hand, I think
Once upon a time, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) was an Electric Vehicle (EV) investor’s dream. That’s the first part of this MULN stock analysis. It became a nightmare. There are still well-meaning folks pumping the stock. I think they’re mistaken. This is a company that made 231 vehicles in the last quarter. Mullen lost $61.4 million
Traditional computers use binary bits, but quantum computers leverage qubits, enabling faster processing. Conventional semiconductors operate on a binary system, like Nvidia H100s, where each transistor represents a 1 or 0. This will become a central part of this IONQ stock outlook later on. Quantum computing, however, operates on a different principle, utilizing quantum bits (qubits)
Value stocks are enjoying their moment in the sun as nervous investors cycle towards fundamentals in light of growth and tech stocks contributing more than their fair share to recent market gains.

The Chinese government’s intention to crack down on mindless EV expansion by the country’s major manufacturers has a positive and negative effect on the Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock outlook.

If you’re going to invest, you need to buy the best stocks at the right time and know when you see a bargain price that will help you beat the market. For my money, that means looking for A-rated stocks to buy. A stock gets its well-deserved “A” rating in the Portfolio Grader when it’s
Blue-chips, or shares in established companies with long track records of slow-and-steady growth, may make for great selections in a diversified, long-term portfolio. However, while there are many great blue-chip stocks to buy, there are plenty of blue-chip stocks to sell as well. In some cases, there are blue-chips where while the long-term forecast remains
The cannabis sector is one that’s certainly seen its boom-bust cycle play out in relatively impressive time in recent years. Now firmly in the “bust” category among many growth investors, will a resurgence in this space take hold? And, further, what catalysts could justify a sector-wide surge? Aside from U.S. federal legalization progress, I’m skeptical
Rewind a few weeks ago and the general consensus was much more optimistic regarding potential rate Cuts in March. then the Federal Reserve all but shut down that notion after unanimously voting to leave rates on changed at their early February meeting. This is leading to ever-changing interest rate expectations. The Federal Reserve will need greater
If you are an investor like me, you don’t want to miss out on any opportunity to load up on blue-chip stocks to buy when they are down.
