Stocks to buy

The market hasn’t been kind to small-cap stocks. Over the last three years, the Russell 2000 index lost over 11% of its value compared to 30% gains by its larger brethren in the S&P 500. Rampant inflation and rising interest rates hit small-cap stocks far harder than the largest stocks on the market.  Yet, beginning

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is still a worthy investment in 2024 despite the company’s rich valuation. While they face competition in e-commerce and artificial intelligence, Amazon’s soaring earnings and long term growth prospects are second to none.  Their recent cost-cutting measures have fueled impressive growth in the last year and it’s expected to continue.

While it’s difficult to say with confidence who will win out in the elections later this year, investors of cannabis stocks may have something to look forward to. Basically, the attention should turn not to a possible red or blue wave but rather a green one. Fundamentally, President Joe Biden has a popularity problem: his

Listen, if you haven’t gotten the memo, penny stocks are incredibly dangerous. Yes, they’re cheap – in this case, extremely cheap. For the uninitiated, you might believe that shares can’t get any lower. Wrong! They can go down to zero. And before that happens, they can trade in fractions of a penny. At the same

Why do you want to consider biotech stocks? Simply, the narrative comes down to numbers and a possible rotation. First, the hard data supports bullishness in biotech stocks.

Crude oil recently hit a four-month high, with the International Energy Agency expecting a supply deficit through 2024. That view is based on the premise that OPEC maintains production cuts.

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn developed a reputation as a corporate raider in the 1980s but is better known today as a shareholder activist.

Last week, Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) meteoric rise to new all-time highs shifted attention to crypto miner stocks as cryptocurrency inflows rose. Holding crypto miner stocks is seen as another way to profit from a potential ongoing rise in Bitcoin prices.

When it comes to generative artificial intelligence (AI) investment opportunities, I think the market’s heavyweights get far too much attention. Undoubtedly, firms like those in the so-called Magnificent Seven have the deep pockets to really make huge investments (and acquisitions) in the space. Whether we’re talking about the costs of building new AI models or

The tech sector is up 12% year-to-date and a remarkable 48% over the past 12 months, powering the broader markets. Particularly, the semiconductor industry is growing, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) leading the charge; its stock is up around three-fourths this year. The best tech stocks are expected to maintain this momentum, according to Deloitte’s 2024 technology

There are some alternative chip stocks available beyond the marquee names of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Intel (NADAQ:INTC) and the like. The reason I’m bullish on these companies is because they have one thing in common: lower valuations than the mainstream stocks we’re all used to talking about. The stretched valuations of the big semiconductor players is

Two weeks ago, I wrote how Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) sudden surge was a positive sign for other risky bets. Bitcoin prices are solely determined by what others will pay, and so rising prices is a clear sign of investor bullishness (i.e., greed). That’s why the five recommended stocks and cryptos from that issue have done so
