That works out to nearly $13,000 per person, or 18.3% of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). The U.S. also continues to lead the world in medical research, innovations and healthcare

Soaring from the pages of science fiction into reality, flying cars are igniting the skies of innovation. Moreover, amidst the choppiness in the stock market, the valuations of top flying car stocks have become more attractive, presenting a long-term opportunity for forward-thinking investors. Currently, a handful of trailblazing companies are steering the development of these
Everyone’s definition of a must-buy stock is different. I remember writing about Church & Dwight (NYSE:CHD) in 2016 when it was on one heck of a heater, as they say in sports—up 9% year to date (YTD) through April, working on its 11th consecutive year of market gains. I suggested it was still a buy
Recently, it’s become clear that nearly every Big Tech firm is working toward manufacturing their own AI chips. That’s why we’ve been worried about the world’s most dominant AI chipmaker, Nvidia (NVDA), for a few weeks now. But this past weekend – amidst the drama at OpenAI – we realized the true reason why investors
The earnings season started in full swing and hasn’t disappointed. But it’s almost coming to an end and this means it’s time to look forward to another impressive quarter. While not all companies managed to beat expectations and impress investors, there are a few which stood out. For investors who were waiting for the most
Chat GPT maker OpenAI said Sam Altman will return as its CEO with a restructured board, just days after the startup’s board dismissed him and he was hired by Microsoft.
Before starting the discussion on eco-friendly stocks, we’ve got to discuss the giant pink gorilla in the room. This sector stinks, badly. According to a recent report by The Globe and Mail, many investors doubt the pace of the broader green energy transition. Because of the ambiguities, many if not most market participants decided that
Following in the footsteps of esteemed investing juggernauts, the ideal of chasing even the best global stocks should generally come second to targeting enterprises in the U.S. It’s going to ruffle some feathers but the harsh reality is that the U.S. represents the greatest economic power in the world. And it’s hard to believe that
When looking at the broader innovation space, it’s the usual suspects that helped drive sentiment forward, which may provide an “air bubble” opportunity for under-the-radar tech stocks. Basically, with so much attention paid to a select few enterprises, investors can pivot toward the path less traveled. From a pure commons sense perspective, targeting hidden gem
Disney’s (NYSE:DIS) cost-cutting and a strong rebound in its International Parks business made its third-quarter results look decent. However, over the longer term, the profits of the company’s TV networks will probably sink sharply, and the firm still has not devised viable ways to offset those likely declines. Given those points, I believe that DIS
Talking about penny stocks with a 12-month return potential of 100% seems too conservative. In the euphoric rally of 2021, some of the hot penny stocks skyrocketed by 100% in a matter of days. It’s better to have toned-down expectations than to tend toward an unrealistic zone in challenging macroeconomic conditions. It’s also important to
In prior coverage of QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), I have laid out a cut-and-dry bear case for the EV battery developer’s shares. QS stock is not worth the risk due to uncertainty in executing its business plan, high cash burn, shareholder dilution, and competition from other battery developers. That said, I agree that there is validity to

Proper energy infrastructure is a vital component of our daily lives. Of the different segments of the energy market, there is liquified natural gas, which is the product of cooling natural gas until it changes from a gas to a liquid. It is much easier to transport because the volume it takes up is roughly
On Nov. 25, 2022, I mentioned three stocks to buy that could soar in 2023. At the time, those included Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), which ran from $73 to $121.53; Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which ran from $146 to $191.45; and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), which ran from $152 to $504. Today, I was asked for a new list of stocks to buy that could
With U.S. electric vehicle demand waning, investors must be choosy with their stock picks. EV manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has its positive points, such as powerful vehicles with impressive ranges. Unfortunately, these positive points aren’t enough to make LCID stock a worthy pick for 2024. As we’ll see, Lucid Group is getting ready to introduce a new vehicle with
As you may be aware, Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is a member of the “Magnificent Seven” group of technology companies. However, you might not feel an immediate urgency to buy GOOG stock. Still, Alphabet stock’s momentum from 2023 is likely to continue into 2024. Hence, a moderately sized share position in Alphabet is
