Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock might be a “Magnificent Seven” play, but it still has challenges. It’s fine if you’re bullish on artificial intelligence technology. Just don’t feel the need to be a perma-bull as regulatory obstacles could cause ongoing problems for Microsoft. MSFT has risen substantially in 2023, especially after the company invested in the technology powering

Archer Aviation’s (NYSE:ACHR) stock has surged over the past six months, doubling in price since March, thanks to growing interest in flying car stocks. However, it has also attracted a significant number of short sellers and faced criticism. Despite the skepticism, it’s not just “hope and hype” driving the bullish sentiment, and the short side

Lithium stocks have disappointed investors in 2023. This has been on the back of a sharp decline in lithium prices in the last few quarters. I believe that the concerns related to lower demand for lithium is overstated and lithium is poised for a sharp reversal rally. In-line with this view, I believe that it’s

With GameStop (NYSE:GME) ensconced in a business that looks doomed to contract for the foreseeable future and the company embracing a losing strategy, GME stock looks poised to continue slumping in 2024. Also importantly, the retailer’s new CEO has little experience when it comes to leading brick-and-mortar retailers. In fact, one such company that took

If you’re a long-term investor – as in, you like to keep stocks for five years or longer – then you’ll probably do just fine holding Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock. However, right now it’s not a risk-free investment. Even if Apple has been “magnificent” in the past, the company’s near-term future success isn’t assured. As we’ll discuss,

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) got the wind knocked out of its sails last week when KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Brandon Nispel downgraded AAPL stock from Overweight to Sector Weight, the equivalent of Buy to Hold. It wasn’t a big deal as Apple finished the week up nearly 4%. However, since hitting a 52-week high of $198.23 at

The tech sector has been hit hard by the market volatility and the uncertain macroeconomic outlook in September 2023. Many investors have been selling their tech stocks. Investors fear that the high valuations are unsustainable and that the growth prospects are dimming. However as the popular saying goes, “be greedy when others are scared.”  Not

Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) is one of those stocks with a long-term stock chart investors drool over. Around 20 years ago, shares of CRM stock changed hands at a split-adjusted $3 per share. Today, those same shares are worth more than $200 apiece. That’s the kind of capital appreciation most long-term investors are after, and it’s why Salesforce

It’s that time of year again. Nope, not fall or autumn. It’s pumpkin spice latte season. Everyone’s favorite PSL can come in varying forms and from varying chains. We’ll get to a few of the key players in the world of coffee in a minute. However, for investors looking at ways to construct their portfolios,

Instacart (NASDAQ:CART) is an online grocery delivery platform that went public on Sept. 19 at $30 per share, valuing the company at $39 billion. The initial public offering (IPO) was one of the most anticipated of the year, as Instacart had benefited from the surge in demand for grocery delivery during the pandemic. However, the

The Nasdaq index continues to be the big winner this year, having risen 27% since Januar7. It also trounced the performance of both the Standards and Practices (S&P) 500 index and the Dow Jones industrial Average. The outperformance shouldn’t come as a surprise given that the Nasdaq is weighted heavily towards technology stocks. All of

With so many prospective EV contenders, it can be difficult to gauge which companies will emerge successful over the next decade. For example, Lordstown Motors (OTCMKTS:RIDEQ) forecast production of 98,800 vehicles between 2021 and 2023 in its 2020 investor presentation. In reality, Lordstown produced only 31 vehicles for sale as of January and filed for

While not making a full return to pre-pandemic prices, one can say that United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) stock was flying high until recently. Like other airline stocks, shares in this legacy carrier bounced back sharply in late 2020 and early 2021. At first it seemed as if investors were prematurely pricing-in a recovery. But as the

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock is a prominent player in the artificial intelligence sector, specializing in enabling the creation and deployment of enterprise AI applications, a critical component for the AI industry’s expansion. The company experienced strong demand reflected in Q1 revenue of $72.4 million, showing year-over-year growth but falling short of last year’s 25% increase. The

Blink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK) stock manages one of the largest U.S. EV charging networks, with over 66,478 stations, including 50,167 in the Blink Network. However, there are red flags. The company is unprofitable, and burning through a significant amount of cash. In its latest quarterly report, Blink reported a $41.5 million net loss on $32.8 million

This year has been all about breakthroughs in tech. We learned to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) and are now embracing 5G, augmented and virtual reality, quantum computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). The sooner you adapt to the latest developments in tech, the better it is. There was a time when the internet was

Unsurprisingly, the current year has been depressing for cannabis stocks. Regulatory headwinds continue to play spoilsport and making stock predictions somewhat difficult. However, some attractive cannabis stocks to buy hint at potential breakout on the upside. First, even without legalization, one cannot ignore the immense addressable cannabis market. Some major companies have even been diversifying

As dividend stocks are a great choice for investors looking for portfolio income and steady returns, you may be interested in the top dividend stocks to watch. But beyond factors like yield and dividend growth, you may want to consider names in this category that are also in the “Green Zone.” TradeSmith offers investors valuable

I’ll admit, I like Airbnb’s (NASDAQ:ABNB) business model of facilitating short-term room rentals. It’s a brilliant concept, but cautious investors should still wonder whether ABNB stock has gotten ahead of itself in 2023. A share-price pullback is likely. Prospective Airbnb shareholders should watch, wait and be patient. As we’ll see, Airbnb’s rapid growth as a business

Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) is headquartered in Canada, but TLRY stock would certainly benefit from federal-level cannabis decriminalization in the U.S. This type of legislative reform won’t happen overnight, however. It’s still fine to hold a small stake in TLRY stock, but be realistic with your expectations and consider extending your investment timeline. Few stock sectors are as
