With the Federal Reserve set to implement aggressive interest rate hikes to combat inflation, the broader narrative for energy stocks to buy may not be that appealing to investors. However, it’s also clear that thanks to hotter-than-expected inflation readings, the central bank has its work cut out for it. Another factor to consider is the
Student loan rates are currently some of the lowest we’ve seen in history. However, while the rates might look attractive, there are still some things to consider before you take on student loan debt in this volatile economic climate.

Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) is a platform that offers a vast selection of equities for purchase. Pretty much anything an investor could want is available for purchase through Robinhood.

Yet, that vision hasn’t become a reality in the 2020s. Long-term SOFI stockholders are still struggling to break even.
