U.S. equities are in the midst of a rally with the Nasdaq and S&P500 rising 7.97% and 7.02%, respectively, on a year-to-date basis. The Russell 2000 Index, which tracks the performance of small-cap companies, is up around 2.26% year-to-date. If penny-stock investors make

There are some under-$10 stocks that I feel could emerge as market leaders in the future. These companies all have promising growth prospects, and some analysts agree that their futures look very bright for investors.

Traders looking for the top oil and gas stocks to buy have to be incredibly nimble. The recent news from the sector is almost laughably inconsistent.   On March 6, 2024, this headline caught my eye: “Oil prices spike on crude inventory update and Powell’s rate-cut outlook.” But less than 24 hours later, this headline

If you want big returns, you gotta think small – as in small-cap stocks. That’s not to say the large-capitalization enterprises can’t get you to investment Valhalla. However, the most diminutive companies have math on their side. Basically, I’m referring to the law of small numbers. When you’re dealing with small-cap stocks, you’re almost always

Many people believe that investing in real estate is the best way to guarantee returns on your money. But there are a couple of problems with this. The first is that it takes a lot of initial capital to begin investing in physical real estate. The second is that you usually have to wait years

ARK Innovation (NYSEARCA:ARKK) has been selling some of its Cathie Wood stocks. Robust earnings boosted valuations to record highs. The move may be part of Wood’s signature contrarian investment approach, as institutional investors reallocated capital into tech in February. This has left ARK with available capital. So now is an ideal time to explore some

China now accounts for 60% of EV sales worldwide. Some of its leading stocks have ramped up their deliveries in 2024. This clears the path for a more international focus for operations.  Despite this, the performance of some of China’s strongest EV stocks has been hampered. Blame it on a series of headwinds due to

Today’s article introduces three virtual reality stocks to buy. Once relegated to science fiction, VR is rapidly transforming from a futuristic concept to a tangible reality. Advancements in hardware, such as Apple‘s (NASDAQ:AAPL) Vision Pro and Meta Platform‘s (NASDAQ:META) Meta Quest 3, have greatly improved user experience and accessibility. After decades of anticipation, VR is

When it comes to the best dividend stocks in the S&P 500, Dividend Aristocrats may first come to mind. As you may know, Dividend Aristocrats are S&P 500 stocks with a 25-year or longer track record of annual dividend increases.

Finding the best investment ideas is tricky. The market fluctuates and transitions into different cycles, with the constant temptation to switch your bets to chase trending stocks. However, the most successful investors know that market millionaires aren’t built overnight. Choosing the right stocks to buy and hold presents the most significant potential for growth. And

Finding the best-kept Wall Street secrets is tough because, well, if it were easy, they wouldn’t be secrets. Today’s top stocks tend to be large-cap tech names with rapid (and arguably unsustainable) growth that frustrates latecomer investors when that momentum slows. That’s why, to find the best-kept Wall Street secrets, you need to satisfy two

Last year emerged as a time of unexpected resilience and expansion for the stock market driven by the strength of unstoppable mega-cap stocks. Notably, the S&P 500 wrapped up last year with a solid 24% gain, turning heads in the process. Moreover, the stock market picked up from where it left off last year, taking

Not long ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) owned approximately 1.7 million shares of SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN). Surely, it’s fair to call Nvidia a kingmaker in artificial intelligence. Therefore, investors should conduct their due diligence on SoundHound AI and then consider buying some SOUN stock.
