Stocks to buy

The Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (NYSEARCA:LIT) shed over 15% of its market value since the turn of the year, suggesting the lithium industry is subject to systematic headwinds. Although lithium stocks have surrendered value, we need to put matters into perspective before committing to long-term investment decisions. Firstly, consider that, like most commodity prices,

November through January are broadly considered to be peak holiday season. These three months are characterized by increased retail spending, travel and tourism, and splurges on luxuries. This includes a spending binge on casinos, online gambling, and iGaming. Therefore, from a seasonal perspective, investors consider exposure to some of the best gambling stocks. With positive

Often, investors think about income and growth as binary choices. Either a company pays a large dividend yield, or it offers strong capital gains upside. But investors don’t necessarily have to sacrifice one of these features to get the other. In fact, a surprising number of companies offer solid dividend yields and have considerable growth

Last week, I revealed five “jackpot” stocks to buy for 2024. These longshot bets all had enormous potential… and also all the risks associated with early stage startups. Happily, one of these stocks has already notched double-digit gains. Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is now up 28% since Monday on renewed interest in “meme” stocks. On average,

Quantum computing stocks should be on your radar. The vast potential of quantum technologies means we’ll likely witness dramatic progress in AI, IoT, and clean energy technologies. These computers will give us the needed horsepower, but the tech is presently under a competitive research and development environment. Regardless of the speculative nature of quantum computing

There’s a strong argument to be made that investors should consider mid-cap AI stocks currently. The markets expect that the Fed will hold interest rates steady moving forward. Rate cuts will likely begin sometime in early to mid-2024. That will benefit mid-cap stocks in particular. Mid-caps tend to become cash-strapped in periods of high interest rates. Conversely,

Low-price stocks are the favorite of retail investors. It’s understandable, as there is scope for diversification even with a small corpus. However, in general, low-price stocks come with big risks. The exposure, therefore, must be limited to avoid potential capital losses. Fortunately, stocks under $10 represent companies with good fundamentals. Investors will not lose sleep

The economy is showing strong signs of improvement as we get into the holiday mood. Investment choices are many, but investors with a limited amount need to conduct thorough research. Diversification is the key if you are a beginner and starting with $1,000. This is one of the keys when thinking about the best ways

Hypergrowth stocks have endured a rough couple of years. While big tech names saw a comeback rally, smaller, high-growth companies struggling through growing pains didn’t get the same lift. I believe that’s because Wall Street is playing it safe, shying away from investing in unprofitable firms with tons of potential. However, this is an opportune

Within the penny stocks space, there seem to be a lot of stories that can do 5x or 10x in the coming years. However, not all stocks fire and exposure to penny stocks involves high risk. Having said that, I would not shy away from holding a few penny stocks in my portfolio. If multibagger returns come,

Temperatures are getting lower, at least in most of the United States. The Farmer’s Almanac predicts above-average snowfall for much of the U.S. and colder-than-normal weather. There will be many days, it seems, where the best thing you’ll be able to do is sit by a fire and bask in the warmth of your dividend

Wireless technology and semiconductor specialist Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) isn’t a member of the prestigious “Magnificent Seven” group of large-cap technology companies. Yet, investors shouldn’t ignore QCOM stock. Qualcomm provides growth, value, and yield, making it appealing to everyone. Qualcomm also has an artificial intelligence (AI) angle, which we’ll discuss in a moment. When all is said and done, you’ll

Do you remember how Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was the object of scorn in 2022 and early 2023? Now, Intel is finally getting its due respect. Consequently, INTC stock has rallied, but this is a time to let your winners run, not take your chips off the table. Don’t get the wrong idea. Intel will have to face

Is the party over for Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock investors in 2023? Not likely, as the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips hasn’t evaporated and Nvidia is still a powerful revenue generator. Sure, the company will face challenges. Don’t give up on Nvidia, though, as 2024 could be as good as 2023 or even better for the company’s

It’s been one year since the United States Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which, among other things, promoted the use of clean energy sources like solar panels. The bill pumped millions of dollars into solar farms, electric vehicle production, and other such projects. At the same time, it offered consumers discounts for installing solar

When many investors often think of growth stocks, it’s the mega-cap tech giants that dominate the discussion. That’s for good reason. Many top tech stocks have outperformed the market for a long time. So, investors are loading up on market cap weighted index funds to capture these returns. However, plenty of high-growth opportunities extend beyond

This holiday season, instead of the types of gifts you would normally give to your grandchildren, you may instead want to think of stocks to buy for your grandchildren. Doing so could end up being the gift that keeps on giving, in more ways than one. For starters, gifting your grandchildren stocks can be a

If you believe in the power of seasonal trends, the concept of The January Effect stocks might pique your interest. Fundamentally, the hypothesis suggests that at the beginning of the year, equities feature a tendency to rise more than in any other month. Typically, this idea tends to focus on small-capitalization enterprises, which was the

If the first rule in the film “Fight Club” is to not talk about fight club, then the same rule applies to penny stocks with potential: you do not talk about these penny stocks with upside. To clarify, the ideas present tremendous risks. You could see massive rewards but if we’re being completely honest, you’re

The hotel and hospitality industry took a serious beating during the Covid-19 pandemic. U.S. hotel market valuations dropped from $222.26 billion in 2019 to a measly $127 and $171.1 billion. Hotel rooms worldwide struggled to occupy even half of their rooms, and hospitality job demands were at an all-time low. Thankfully, that’s mostly behind us
