There finally seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for growth stocks. As we head into 2024, the Nasdaq index has steadily begun recovering. While it still has a way to go before reaching its 2021 peak, I believe it’s only a matter of time. The economy is showing positive signs as
The cybersecurity industry has experienced rapid growth as hacking attempts become more frequent. Gartner forecasts global spending on cybersecurity to reach $215 million by 2024. That represents about a 14.3% increase from estimated 2023 spending levels, with no end in sight. For investors, this presents an opportunity to buy into cybersecurity stocks early.

Rather, it’s time to address this speculative practice under a three-dimensional lens. First, market gamblers shouldn’t just focus on short interest as a percentage of float. Don’t get me wrong.
Value stocks to watch is the equity market’s version of Godzilla Minus One. When released in the U.S., the understanding was that it would only feature a limited run.

The outsized returns of the S&P 500 this year were driven by the returns of just a handful of stocks. Remove the so-called Magnificent 7 from the equation and the benchmark index’s performance was relatively flat.
