Cocoa prices have surged to record highs, with bad weather impacting crops. This would imply margin compression for chocolate companies and it’s not surprising that chocolate stocks are relatively depressed. This near-term headwind is a good opportunity to accumulate some undervalued stocks. An important point to note is that the top chocolate stocks also offer

With the retail sector undergoing an artificial intelligence (AI) facelift, these retailers are poised for massive gains from a generative AI boost. These forward-thinking entities are harnessing the power of AI to redefine sector norms, enhance customer interactions, streamline inventory management and optimize supply chains. This shift marks a critical turning point in the collection

Dig deep enough and find a story hot enough, and you can uncover potential stock winners up 1,000%. Look at Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), for example. When I first found AMD, it was trading around $10 a share, severely beaten-down and undervalued. Today, thanks to the artificial intelligence boom, it’s one of the most talked about tech

What can you do when a “Magnificent Seven” company briefly falls out of favor? In the case of Google and YouTube parent company, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), the right response may be to buy and/or hold some GOOG stock shares.

As the election year heats up, the search for 10X stocks for a Biden win intensifies amidst the closely contested race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The current political climate injects a level of unpredictability into the markets, which significantly complicates capitalizing on trends and making investment choices.

Unless you are very wealthy or an institutional investor, the world of hedge funds is closed to the average investor; thus, it’s a good idea to look at the stocks hedge funds are buying. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because these funds operate on a 2-and-20 fee structure. They skim 2% off the top

When looking for tattered stocks to buy for gains, I often cover under-the-radar stocks. However, sometimes the best deals are hiding in plain sight – you just have to be willing to take a contrarian view when others are fearful. We saw this scenario play out in mid-2022. Many investors clung onto expensive defensive stocks,

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) has become the first electric vehicle (EV) maker in China to turn a profit, sending its stock price higher in recent weeks. This will undoubtedly have LI stock investors feeling bullish. LI stock is up nearly 10% year to date, outpacing nearly every other EV maker in China or the rest of

Analysts are optimistic about the U.S. economy, expecting a 2% GDP expansion this year due to strong growth in late 2023 and a resilient labor market in January. The positive outlook, driven by robust consumer spending and minimal signs of a private sector slowdown, suggests a delay in Federal Reserve interest rate cuts until later

I recently pointed out that today’s stock market is too good for investors to waste time with poorly rated stocks. A bull market (and that’s what we have right now) is the ideal time to jump on the train and capitalize with the best A-rated stocks to buy. While electric vehicles are trailing the pack,

As I talk about the penny stocks for the next decade, the following point is worth mentioning. In the 1950s, the holding period of stocks was around eight years. There has been a phenomenal change over the decades with the average holding period as of June 2020 declining to 5.5 months. One factor behind this

In late February, Wendy’s management team surprised both customers and investors with a clarification. The fast-food chain announced wrote to CNN that “Wendy’s will not implement surge pricing, which is the practice of raising prices when demand is highest. […] It was never our plan to raise prices when customers are visiting us the most.”

Successful investor Mario Gabelli attained billionaire status primarily by investing his and his client’s money. He became well-known in the 1980s for making successful picks in media and telecom sectors, and was named Morningstar’s “Portfolio Manager of the Year” in 1997 and received the “Money Manager of the Year” award from Institutional Investor in 2011.

We all know the frustration of seeing certain stocks fail to deliver satisfactory results in today’s market environment. That has been the case with many stocks that aren’t SaaS/AI. However, I see an opportunity for us to buy up shares of these under-the-radar under-$10 stocks before they climb higher. Investor focus right now is solidly

While making investments, efforts for wealth often resemble strategic gaming; here, picking the right stocks can significantly influence one’s financial reach. Amidst the vast options, three stocks are the catalysts for transforming fortunes. The triumvirate of potential millionaire makers—these three companies—stand at the nexus of opportunity, armed with solid performances and strategic market leads. Their

While value stocks are plentiful in the market, they are often undervalued for a reason. Discerning an undervalued stock from a value trap requires some heavy lifting. Today’s best bargain stocks to buy fall in the former camp and are solid portfolio additions. “Price is what you pay, value is what you get,” Warren Buffet

Tech stocks have been on a tear for the past 15 months. That was especially apparent throughout 2023 when the tech heavy Nasdaq increased by 43%, presenting opportunities in underpriced tech stocks to buy.  The reasons for the phenomenal performance includes the emergence of artificial intelligence, for one. Generative AI burst onto the scene and continues

One tool that bargain hunters can utilize to identify beaten up stocks to buy after significant declines is the relative strength index (RSI). The RSI signals when a stock’s downward momentum may be exhausted, indicating that a correction could provide upside potential. Typically, an RSI reading below 30 is viewed as an ‘oversold’ level, suggesting

Following a 24% S&P 500 return in 2023 and 7.8% year-to-date (YTD) gains in 2024, investor satisfaction is running high.
