Equities related to the once-burgeoning hydrogen market are largely worth avoiding in 2024. The demand for renewable energy, especially one as expensive to produce and transport as hydrogen, has been rather for well over a year. While the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has catapulted investment into the space, tax credits and subsidies have

The stock market has been on a caffeine high since the Federal Reserve promised to cut interest rates. The damaging economic impact of the Fed’s unprecedented ratcheting of rates could be minimized if rate cuts were to begin. Yet the insatiable spending policies of politicians in Washington are keeping inflation high and growing. Fed president
AI stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) dominate the market with top-of-the-line chips that power the newest, most exciting AI software like ChatGPT. However, these stocks sit at a relatively high valuation, given the attention they have gathered from investors with recent performances. While there is certainly something to be said about their continued
U.S. equities posted some gains last week, which I’m sure was refreshing to see given the sell-off a week prior. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively. This brings their respective year-to-date gains up to 6.9% and 4.0%. Unfortunately, market risks still remain. Not only do we still need inflation to come down consistently, but
SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) certainly benefited when the artificial intelligence trend swept through Wall Street. You may choose to hold SoundHound AI stock if you’re bullish on AI technology for the long term. In the final analysis, we’re assigning a “B” grade to the stock as the risks and potential rewards are considerable. SoundHound AI occupies an interesting
While it’s not the most encouraging topic, should a severe market correction occur, forward-thinking contrarians may want to consider transportation stocks to buy. Yes, it’s a boring sector but there’s a method to the madness. First, the sector represents the real economy; that is, it’s where the rubber meets the road, literally and figuratively. Sure,
Investors hoping that the worst is over for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) following the company’s first-quarter earnings might be in for a rude awakening. Tesla stock has rallied hard in the days since the electric vehicle maker reported its Q1 results, rising 20% in its best showing of the year. The rise in TSLA stock comes despite
Artificial Intelligence (AI) visionary Sam Altman has dominated the tech world over the past couple of years. He shot to fame following OpenAI’s release of its groundbreaking large language model, ChatGPT, in late 2022. Since then, ChatGPT has become ubiquitous, with Altman becoming synonymous with all things AI. Though OpenAI made Altman famous, his investments
Energy stocks provide investors with an opportunity to diversify their portfolios. A particularly good time to look for energy stocks to buy is during times of inflation. Rising oil and gas prices allow these stocks to act as a hedge. That dynamic can be seen in the performance of the iShares U.S. Oil & Gas
Jon Wolfenbarger, a 32-year market veteran warns that despite the seemingly booming U.S. labor market, there are underlying weaknesses that suggest an imminent recession. While the headline numbers show strong job growth and historically low unemployment rates, Wolfenbarger points out that the kind of jobs being added and other economic indicators paint a bleaker picture.
The Defiance Hotel, Airline, and Cruise ETF (NYSEARCA:CRUZ) is up by approximately 25% year-over-year, illustrating the robust growth embedded in cruise stocks. However, what goes up must come down, which is why I believe a minor correction in cruise stocks is due. Moreover, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slipped by more than 3% month-to-date,
Tesla‘s (NASDAQ:TSLA) announcement of cutting 10% of its global workforce shook the electric vehicle (EV) market and EV stocks. Amid softening demand for electric cars, Tesla suffered an 8% drop in deliveries in the first quarter. That was the first time it shipped fewer cars in over a decade. But it means Tesla can’t justify
The Biden administration began with a great deal of enthusiasm around renewable energy stocks. Shares of firms in wind, solar, hydrogen and electric vehicles (EVs), among other green sectors, soared on hopes on significant government stimulus. And, for a time, that thesis played out. The Inflation Reduction Act was a landmark piece of legislation that
After a momentous rally in tech stocks over the past several months, the market’s now in correction territory. With many of the biggest tech stocks notching higher highs during the first quarter (Q1) of the year, many had predicted a stock market breather. However, the pullback presents an excellent opportunity for investors to hunt for
For investors looking at stocks in the Magnificent 7 group, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock could be the best choice in the bunch. A strong player in the AI, cloud, and software markets, Microsoft really provides the durable long-term growth profile most investors are after. Indeed, the company’s recent increased focus on its AI investments are what’s
While pulling back in more recent trading days, Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) has so far stayed in the green during 2023. A major announcement shows that Oracle stock offers exposure to AI growth. However, this announcement is just the tip of the iceberg. Oracle is investing billions in other ventures to take advantage of this lucrative growth
You may already be invested in Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), and perhaps you’re thinking about starting or adding to a share position. Alphabet stock is a Magnificent Seven member, but not without its problems. Overall, we give it a “B” grade and encourage you to consider both the pros and cons. After all, being a full-on
At first glance, the concept of dividend stocks to buy on the dip might clash with your instincts. Right now, the combination of robust employment and soaring energy prices may have put the brakes on strategies designed to lower the benchmark interest rate. Should rates move higher, U.S. government bonds – about as safe of
Down roughly 10% to start the year, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock investors remain on edge. The smartphone maker faces key challenges before their upcoming earnings report on May 2. Despite weakness in iPhone sales in China and regulatory scrutiny, price target of $225 from Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) shows room for positivity. The company plans to showcase
InvestorPlace‘s Omor Ibne Ehsan recommended fintech stocks, which “have been Wall Street’s wallflowers for what seems like an eternity now.” I agree 100%, as they can sprout in the right conditions. Among fintech firms, I’m picking PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) because largely disregarded PayPal stock is the perfect wallflower pick in 2024.
