While diversifying your portfolio and creating balance is important, holding high-quality outperforming stocks is also a great idea.

Of course, such characteristics are hard, if not impossible,
Many national governments have gotten on board with net zero emissions targets in the decades to come. Indeed, the clean energy transition is well underway, putting energy stocks at serious risk over time. Net zero goals are aimed at reducing energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to zero, in order to limit global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Succeeding in the increasingly crowded electric-vehicle market isn’t a walk in the park for any company. As a result, I’m convinced some EV stocks will be winners and some will be losers. That being said, investors have to be careful when they’re selecting EV stocks to buy. Also noteworthy is that I completely agree with Sino
As the saying goes, “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” That’s the trade-off with high-risk stocks. In exchange for the risk of sustaining large losses, investors in risky equities receive the potential for massive gains. During the 2020/2021 runaway bull market, risk-hungry investors crushed it, as speculative growth stocks soared to lofty prices. This was thanks in large
Offering a heavy counterpoint to the blue chips that dominate the headlines of The Wall Street Journal, the best tech stocks to buy for maximum returns represent a lesser-known category. Typically trading in the sphere of small-capitalization plays (basically anything south of $2 billion), enterprises that deliver bonkers rewards require patience and an iron will.
Stock screeners can help investors identify stocks to buy based on a variety of criteria. In fact, one helpful predictor of stock price growth can be found with analyst ratings. Though not perfect, an analyst rating can indicate where institutional investor sentiment lies. In this article, I used a screener to help find stocks that
If you’re a risk taker on the lookout for stocks with 1000% upside potential, you’d have to venture into speculative territory. It is difficult to find analyst ratings with such a high upside potential unless catalysts could propel the stock that high. Such catalysts include promising drug candidates that are awaiting approval or going through
When most investors think of Dividend Aristocrat stocks, their minds immediately go to the S&P 500. It’s the granddaddy of Dividend Aristocrat indexes. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats are 68 companies from the S&P 500 that have increased their dividends annually for 25 consecutive years or more. It gets most of the media attention. If
The stock market has been hit a few headwinds in 2023. High inflation, interest rate hikes, and declining earnings have been put into focus. Despite the headlines, indices have performed well to start the year. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 are up 8% and 23% year to date, respectively. Some investors believe a summer rally
More than any time since the advent of fossil fuels, new, game-changing energy technologies are emerging and proliferating, making many energy stocks very attractive. The latter phenomena are not really surprising, given the huge increases in the utilization of renewable energy, along with the electric-vehicle revolution. Among the new technologies rising to the forefront are
Should dip-buyers consider investing in electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) now? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the risk-to-reward profile isn’t ideal for QS stock in 2023. QuantumScape’s financials certainly aren’t favorable.

I’d be the first to agree that Wall Street analysts are often wrong. Quite frequently, in fact, in the case of analyst downgrades, they focus excessively on minutiae, such as tiny “misses” (i.e., quarterly results that come in slightly below analysts’ average estimates) or a small decline in profit margins. And they often overlook or

When I think of activist investors, Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman always come to mind. While you could argue that Ackman doesn’t practice activism often, the duo’s battle over Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) started in 2012 and continued for several years. There was even a documentary made about the fight between the billionaires. Ironically, Icahn’s firm Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:IEP)
One of the places to find the best stocks to short are by viewing the Short Interest tables of major financial publications like MarketWatch and the Wall Street Journal.

One of the key advantages of dividend stocks is their potential to enhance total returns.
