Retail stocks can be a good place to allocate capital during times of market volatility such as now. This is especially true when the economy is going strong, which is the case currently.

The past couple of weeks have been increasingly volatile for U.S. equities markets. The Nasdaq fell 3.55% last week, while the S&P500 had fallen 3.05%.

Last Friday saw an absolute bloodbath for some of the market’s hottest AI stocks. Market darling Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) nosedived 10% in a single session.

Chinese e-commerce giant JD stock (NASDAQ:JD) reported strong fourth-quarter results, indicating that its new initiatives are meaningfully boosting its business. Meanwhile, the valuation of JD stock is extremely low, while I believe that investors are significantly underestimating the strength of the Chinese economy.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a Bitcoin (USD-BTC) moment and the situation could rapidly deteriorate for some of the biggest companies in this rapidly evolving technology.

Dividend stocks have a proven record of stock market outperformance. For nearly 100 years, income-generating stocks on the S&P 500 have beaten non-payers.

So far this month, Nio (NYSE:NIO) has continued sinking to new lows. At around $4 per share, Nio stock is not merely in penny stock territory. The Chinese EV play is now a full-on penny stock, and it’s likely to stay that way. Why? Mostly, because the company’s dire situation remains unchanged. The many issues
While dividend stocks can be a good option for investors looking for an available revenue stream, not every dividend stock is worth your time. Plenty of deadly dividend stocks are ready to wreak havoc on your portfolio. The worst thing about a deadly dividend stock is the inconsistency. You want to have a reliable payout
