Stocks to buy

Last year was the worst year for the markets since the financial crisis of 2008. While the index slipped, the correction was felt most in growth and penny stocks. In challenging times, investors shift their focus towards blue-chip stocks for capital preservation and dividend income. I subscribe to this strategy. However, it’s also a good

Growth stocks saw explosive gains after the Covid-19 selloff. The raging bull market saw speculation run wild as liquidity flooded into the financial system, emboldening investors. That allowed the best and worst growth stocks to continue their indefinite moves higher. As it turns out though, those types of unfettered gains can’t last forever. Last year

The electric vehicle boom is only accelerating, creating a big opportunity for EV stock winners. In fact, according to the International Energy Agency, we could see 14 million EVs sold this year alone. Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) recently said it’s targeting 1.5 million EV sales by 2026, and will launch 10 new EVs in the next

Penny stocks have had a great start this year, but with uncertainty starting to rear its head again, investors have started to choose safer options instead. Indeed, the underlying businesses of most penny stocks are loss-making startups that depend on external sources to survive in the long run. That’s not very reliable in an environment

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) gaining prominence in our lives, it is hard to ignore the fact that AI companies are going to take a big slice of the pie this year. As per a report from Deloitte, the global semiconductor industry is expected to reach $1 trillion in revenue by 2030, doubling in this decade.

With the energy transition upon us, solar stocks offer investors a chance to grab a piece of a fast-growing market. Solar energy output rose 22% in 2021, but that’s only expected to accelerate over the next few years. According to the International Energy Agency, output will need to rise 25% annually by 2030 to reach our net-zero targets. So, for

Turning $1,000 into $10,000 in a year in the stock market is undoubtedly a lofty goal. Make no bones about it, it’s not particularly likely to happen. Indeed, such an endeavor requires a penchant for risk and speculation. Additionally, investors may need to hone their efforts on particular high-growth sectors. One such group of penny

AI stocks have taken off in 2023. So, naturally, many investors are curious to understand the technology’s various applications across a wide range of sectors. Artificial intelligence involves training computerized systems with huge amounts of data, through a process called machine learning. These systems can then make inferences about future outcomes, analogous to the natural

The metaverse is the most significant growth opportunity for numerous industries in the long term. This is attributable to the massive range of potential applications and the level of investment from large technology companies, venture capital, corporations and brands. The three stocks to buy below are direct beneficiaries of this trend.  The first company is

Make no mistake about it: electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) isn’t trying to compete on price. Instead, Lucid Group builds premium-quality vehicles for people who can afford them. Ultimately, it’s not a great idea to back up the truck and buy too much of LCID stock. However, as long as you’re aware of the

It isn’t especially easy to find high-performing chip stocks presently. The overall state of the industry can’t be characterized as being strong. Yet, there are still companies performing well despite overall headwinds. Some semiconductor firms continue to post stellar results that best not only industry averages but also recent performance. That isn’t easy given that

The government’s response to maintain stability in the banking system creates stock winners from First Republic failure. First Republic Bank is the second largest bank with assets over $200 billion to fail, This follows the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, Credit Suisse, and Signature Bank. Fearful customers withdrew deposits in droves. When the company revealed

Last month, I dubbed Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) the only Chinese electric vehicle stock you need. If you thought that statement was a bit of an exaggeration, I suggest you look at the latest quarterly earnings release for LI stock. Overall, this release helped to strengthen the bull case. Not just the results that were promising.

The electric vehicle market continues to move from strength to strength, and investors hunting for the best lithium mining stocks for the EV revolution are in for a treat. Despite the sector experiencing a relatively rocky start to the year, savvy investors are effectively seeking the best lithium stocks to buy at a considerable discount.

Creating a niche in any market is not easy, but it is especially difficult to do in an established industry. There was a time when only niche customer segments or early technology adopters bought electric vehicles (EVs) but soon EV makers were introducing low-end models that were accessible to a larger audience. Electric vehicle sales

Finding long-term growth stocks to buy and hold is becoming more and more difficult. Indeed, the growth rates of most companies have been negatively impacted by inflation and surging interest rates. As valuation multiples decline, so too does investor confidence in this space. That said, there are some long-term growth stocks to buy and hold that are

I don’t think it’s any surprise that dividend stocks and safety stocks continue to perform well, given the uncertain environment. If we look outside of the year-to-date and one-year performances, we can focus on dividend stocks for steady income rather than purely on performance. These are dividend stocks with consistent payouts and a history of

Selecting some of the top hyper-growth stocks to buy now requires considering companies that operate in strong industries. In fact, you may want to look at sectors like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and virtual/augmented reality. All of which are predicted to significantly impact the world. Although hyper-growth stocks to buy are often associated with technology, they can

Artificial intelligence has generated quite a lot of buzz in recent months, especially on Wall Street. Stock prices of AI-related companies have skyrocketed, while investors are increasingly looking into AI-powered ETFs that are supposedly better than even human analysts. Because of the growing intrigue into AI-related investing, I was curious to use AI prediction to

Inflation has been public enemy No. 1 of the stock market for the past 16 months. But now that inflation pressures are rapidly subsiding, the outlook for a stock market rally into the summer is greatly improving. Today, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its April Consumer Price Index report, which is the most
