Stock Market

Leading contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) has undeniably been a market darling so far in 2024. The stock’s ascent to an all-time high of $193.47 on July 11 shows its dominant position in the global chipmaking landscape. TSM stock has surged over 50% year-to-date (YTD). It has significantly outperformed the Philadelphia Stock Exchange

Palantir Technologies’ (NYSE:PLTR) shareholders fared well in the first half 2024 — no doubt about that. So, what’s next for Palantir? Palantir’s growth vision seems otherworldly based on recent announcements. Overall, we rate Palantir stock as a “B” and recommend it for a small share position. Oddly enough, one famous stock picker seemingly accused Palantir Technologies

Buying a stock is very easy but picking the right stock is tough. As we embark on the second half of the year, it is time to reevaluate your stock investment portfolio. The first half has been incredible for several stocks as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 steadily hit new highs and now is the

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL)continues to ride AI and cloud tailwinds. Quarter-one solid earnings results and integrating Gemini AI into Google Search and its suite of Google apps have tech bulls confident in the long-term success of Alphabet stock. AI has driven the market ever since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022. While Alphabet stock has trailed other

There’s a great deal to like about Soundhound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) stock at this point. Its exposure to the AI megatrend, alliance with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and strong, overall growth are all in its favor. However, given the stock’s recent, overdone rally, along with the name’s extremely high valuation and significant competition, I recommend that investors hold

As we enter the back half of 2024, I believe it’s time for a reality check. While the software rally has been fun, not all of these high-flying software stocks can justify their nosebleed valuations. Some appear bound to come back down to Earth. It’s worth digging deeper into Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), and Snowflake

If you don’t own at least one of the Magnificent Seven technology titans, odds are you’re probably trailing the S&P 500 by a wide margin. Indeed, beating the market is tough without some help from the technology sector’s biggest, brightest stars. After explosive rallies enjoyed in recent months, though, some may view the Magnificent Seven

The S&P 500 has continued to receive bullish forecasts from market analysts, including recent analyst upgrades. Some suggest the index could reach a target of 6,100 by the end of the year. The optimism is grounded in the index’s foundation of earnings growth, with additional support from favorable inflation news and expectations of a Federal

Are you willing to give an ambitious electric vehicle startup a chance? Can you tolerate risk, volatility and drama? If so, then you might consider investing in Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE). While there’s no guarantee of safety with Faraday Future stock, we’re giving it a “B” grade and it may be right for a small

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is at its highest price in 2024 and has bounced more than 80% higher from its April lows. Better than expected second-quarter deliveries drove the shares higher and Tesla stock notched its ninth consecutive day of gains. While Ark Invest’s perma-bull Cathie Wood still sees the electric vehicle maker going on a 10x

The search for stability and stable returns over time ought to be a primary focus of most investors right now. Yes, risk-taking growth investors have been rewarded during this record bull market in recent decades. However, there’s an entire class of investors who haven’t lived through a crash and seen what it can do to

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is constantly in the financial news lately because of an upcoming event. This can cause investors to become distracted and try to “game the system” by getting ahead of other stock traders. Stay focused on what’s important. Broadcom stock is a “B” grade stock for a right-sized position. Just to recap, Broadcom provides networking

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is a famous semiconductor developer, and its chief executive, Lisa Su, is a Wall Street celebrity. However, the market may be too optimistic about Advanced Micro Devices stock. It’s a tough call, but we’re assigning it a “B” grade for the time being. The recent price pullback from $200 may tempt you

Electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) might produce sleek and powerful automobiles, but there are problems underneath the hood of this company. Instead of waiting for a miracle to happen, investors should cut their losses or, better yet, just avoid Lucid stock altogether. I have to respect Lucid Group’s loyal investors. They’ve suffered harsh losses this year. I wish

Medical device stocks are effectively redefining the healthcare industry through innovative technology. The digitization trend in healthcare continues gaining steam, with advanced medical devices enhancing healthcare outcomes while becoming critical drivers in driving financial markets. These tools offer accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and personalized care, improving healthcare outcomes substantially. Hence, given their potential to revolutionize

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been on a tear lately. Apple stock has bounced back to not only the $200 per share mark, but onward to new all-time highs. As you likely already know, this latest wave of bullishness for the tech giant’s shares has all to do with its plans to capitalize on the generative artificial

In case you haven’t noticed, a whole lot of pain and pessimism has already been priced into Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock. I’ve warned investors about Plug Power stock before. However, it’s been beaten down so badly that the risk-reward balance actually seems to favor the buyers now. This isn’t just a “nowhere left to go but up”

After two major meme-stock-driven gains in May and June, GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock has mostly been on the down and out. Having gained 48% year-to-date, it’s hard to call the 2024 performance of GameStop stock a disaster. This time last year, it traded slightly lower than today.  Keith Gill, the man behind the “Roaring Kitty” persona,

Excuse me while I ask a crazy question: Are AI glasses the future of AI? I think they could be. Earlier this week, smart glasses maker Solos announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate the new ChatGPT-4o AI model into a pair of “AI glasses” set to launch later this year. Sounds crazy. I know.
