Artificial intelligence isn’t going anywhere. Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts that the generative AI market will grow to $1.3 trillion over the next 10 years from $40 billion in 2022. The technology promises to change all our lives in both small and big ways. The future is both exciting and a little intimidating when it comes to the brave

Dividend stocks are finally cycling back into portfolios after a few years’ worth of higher interest rates put fixed-income options ahead of dividend distribution yield for income investors. As those investors circle back toward dividend stocks, a few things have changed about how to best look at the many available offerings – but that’s true

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) represents the fully electric vehicle market, but Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) represents hybrid electric vehicles. As EV demand fails to live up to the hype, you may be eager to bet on the growth of the HEV industry. An easy way to get on board the hybrid revolution is by owning Toyota stock. Not

If you think about it, many of today’s high-flying stocks were once ignored by the Street.

Indeed, the Street tends to shun stocks with great

The Wall Street rally has continued in April with the S&P 500 trading near recently-set record highs. The stronger-than-expected jobs report has boosted investor optimism as the U.S. economy remains resilient despite higher rates. In a bull market, Wall Street analysts tend to often raise ratings on stocks as they expect the outperformance to continue

The tech sector has been on an upward trend ever since AI came into the spotlight. Some companies, like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), saw massive growth in industry coverage and valuations and have shown no signs of slowing.

With recession-proof stocks, this approach is the football equivalent of running the so-called jumbo package. Here, the idea is to get a few critical yards to move the sticks or get into the endzone. However, like the last-mile problem, those yards are often difficult to get. So, what to do? Simple – just grab your

Drastically emerging as a strong and dominant player in the AI race, Microsoft stock (NASDAQ:MSFT) is one company many investors are looking to add to this year. The company has touted more strategic investments in AI than many of its peers, showcasing an acquisition strategy that is the envy of many of its competitors. However,

There is confusion on whether electric vehicle sales have become a disaster or a booming segment. We have seen a dip in the demand for EVs over the past few months, and many believe that it is set to continue, while reports say that EV sales will continue to grow throughout the year. Only time will

Inflation is proving to be stubborn. While the inflation rate in the U.S. has come down from a peak of 9.1% in 2022 to 3.2% today, it is getting difficult to push inflation back down to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 2% annualized target.

The U.S. housing market looks to be on shaky ground. Lofty mortgage rates have set a high bar for first-time buyers to enter the housing market, with many consumers finding it difficult to qualify for a mortgage as rates are currently near 7%.

In February, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon unloaded $150 million of his company’s stock – his first-ever sale. Shares of the bank had risen 70% since 2022, and valuations were beginning to look rich. He’s not the only one who seems worried. Last month, Morningstar analyst Sarah Hansen noted that banks no longer traded

Artificial intelligence and data centers go hand-in-hand these days. As companies generate more data and rely on complex algorithms, they need robust infrastructure to store and process all that information efficiently. However, pure-play data center stocks with AI exposure are tricky to find. The data center industry has seen tremendous consolidation lately. Many promising players

Many high-growth companies have been trading sideways for months or even years at depressed valuations. But as the old adage goes, the stock market is a weighing machine in the long-run. And right now, I see a prime opportunity to load up on many high-quality stocks trading at bargain-basement prices before they inevitably soar. With

If you’re looking for investments that could generate more-than-satisfactory total returns, consider undervalued dividend stocks. With these types of stocks, you may have the potential to get the best of both worlds. First, there are numerous undervalued stocks that sport above-average dividend yields. These payouts can provide a steady baseline of positive returns. Second, besides

If you’re looking for upside potential, you’ve come to the right place with tech stocks to buy. And if you’re looking for significant returns, you should consider the innovation sector’s discount bin. I don’t consider the last phrase to be a pejorative term. Rather, I look at it as receiving a 50% off coupon for

The artificial intelligence (AI) industry has captivated investors. Corporations have been rushing to incorporate the technology into their operations to increase efficiency and revenue. AI was the big buzzword of 2023, and that momentum has carried over into 2024. Many of the top AI stocks have continued to rack up gains. The sector is attracting

In December 2021, the World Economic Forum reported on an investigation regarding the reasons for the decline in long-term investing. Some key reasons included the emergence of high-frequency machine trading, low fees & commissions, focus on short-term results and shorter company lifespans.
