Many investors and analysts have been bullish on the prospects of the U.S. cannabis industry since its legalization in several states. However, despite being legal in 40 out of 50 U.S. states for medical use and 24 out of 50 for recreational, the drug is still not federally legal. Many people have gotten excited about

Despite the weakness in Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone sales in China, there are still funds buying Apple stock.   Almost a year ago, I wrote about fund managers still buying Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock despite being up 25% on its Q1 2024 results. Its shares have more than doubled over the past 52 weeks.  Can Apple do the

Some deep-value investors don’t mind picking up extremely battered stocks that may have seen their intrinsic value swing to the downside.

Robotics stocks should be a leading investment theme throughout the 2020s. The concept of automating factories, warehouses and data entry work has long appealed to large corporations. Increasingly, the tools are ready for primetime and investors can stand to benefit. Adding to that, artificial intelligence has taken off in recent years. Now, these sophisticated automation

Investing in the stock market has never been easier or more accessible. The mechanics of buying and selling stocks has been democratized.

With the technology benchmark Nasdaq index encountering some choppy weather since April, speculators may want to consider undervalued Nasdaq stocks. Granted, it’s always risky betting on enterprises that haven’t caught other people’s attention. Still, the rewards could be fantastic.

Over the past five years, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has outperformed the other six “Magnificent Seven” stocks combined, including Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock, one of this country’s most iconic tech companies.  It’s hard to believe that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has been the software company’s leader for over a decade, taking the job on Feb. 4, 2014. MSFT

Its stock declined after Q1 results were released last week. This happened despite it exceeding consensus estimates for revenue, adjusted EBITDA,

The Wall Street skyscrapers still rise above the city, but investors are not as confident as they used to be.

Buying a cheap asset

Cloud computing has become an integral component of many businesses. The technology allows companies to store more data, increase productivity and save money.  Once companies start to put their data on the cloud, it’s difficult to walk away.

This approach sharpens the investment edge and highlights opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked in the current volatility.

Following a broader market rally, Bitcoin (BTC-USD) rebounded to the $65,000 mark. The resurgence could be linked to the softer-than-anticipated jobs report, with experts expecting at least a couple of interest rate cuts this year. Moreover, with the recent BTC halving done and dusted, we could be on the cusp of another bull run. That said, investors

In the late 1970s, Louis Navellier – then a college student, now a senior analyst at InvestorPlace – accidentally beat the market. By running financial data through a Wells Fargo mainframe computer (an enormous privilege at the time!), he came across a model that beat the S&P 500 by a considerable margin. Since then, he’s

Over the past year, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing and cybersecurity propelled the tech sector to new Wall Street heights. As a result, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 index has returned over 35% in the past 12 months. Now that we are well into the second-quarter earnings season, investors are looking for tech stocks

In a column about PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) published on Oct. 19, 2023, I wrote that “PYPL stock trades at bargain-basement levels and has a new, up-and-coming CEO. Additionally, I believe the Street is overly worried about threats to PayPal’s dominance.” And I advised investors to “buy the shares on weakness.” That turned out to be pretty
