Stocks to buy

Investors use various investing strategies, including momentum and value investing. Bottom fishing involves buying stocks at lows to play the recovery. Sometimes, you may inadvertently catch a falling knife. Ultimately, it’s still worth purchasing bounce-back stocks with potential.   While the overall stock market indices are booming, some laggards are near 52-week lows. These stocks have

The United States economy has been resilient thus far, as the job market and corporate earnings have been strong. As such, aggregate earnings for S&P 500 companies rose 0.1% in the first quarter, exceeding analysts’ forecasts of a 5-6% decline three months ago. Consumer spending has remained remarkably strong despite this inflation, and demand for

Millionaire maker tech stocks boils down to one central theme: banking on the inevitable growth of the broad innovation space for potentially significant, even lifechanging returns. Of course, there’s a huge difference between selecting the right sector versus picking the right individual securities. To be quite blunt, to assume that investing in tech stocks as

Identifying reliable dividend stocks can be challenging, but they offer potential long-term investment opportunities. Companies with a track record of consistent dividend growth in stable or growing industries are particularly attractive. Dividends have historically played a significant role in overall market returns.  However, it’s important to acknowledge that no stock’s future earnings can be predicted

I recruited Google’s Bard AI tool to help me to find 3 dividend stocks for the month of July. I might be imagining it, but Bard seems to have a bias toward tech. Take that to mean what you will but I’ve noticed that Bard certainly appreciates tech firms.  All of the stocks recommended are

The market is now in its second half of 2023 and what a roller coaster ride it’s been. We’ve seen stocks fly high and plummet due to high inflation, aggressive interest rate hikes and a devastating banking crisis. With such high-impact issues beating down on investor portfolios, finding sustainable income and growth is a challenge

More importantly, this was 16% higher than in Q1 2023 and double the amount from Q2 2022.  What is going on? The 318 deals completed in

Currently, analysts and industry data are reporting that the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market is not growing fast enough. Unsold EVs are stacking up at automaker’s dealerships and price cuts are short-term pauses towards the market growth. In fact, according to Cox data, U.S. dealers have more than 92,000 EVs in stock. This number represents

Artificial intelligence technology is transforming many industries and creating new opportunities for businesses and consumers. But as an investor, how can you benefit from this powerful technology? You might think that buying AI stocks is the obvious answer, but that’s not necessarily the case. Many AI stocks have soared to sky-high valuations in recent months, making

Lately, I’ve been spending a few hours each day conducting macro market research with various artificial intelligence (AI) tools. I’ve researched different sectors of the market to be able to get a broad overview of the current market, and without a doubt, one of the sectors that I like the most is the energy sector.

Everyone knows that AI stocks have been the big momentum trade in the first half of 2023. The question is, can it remain the momentum trade in the second half of the year? Bulls are hopeful that that remains the case, as stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) have helped power the entire space higher. It lit

EV stocks represent to companies involved in the manufacturing of electric vehicles or their components, like batteries and autonomous systems. While major car manufacturers like Ford (NYSE:F) and General Motors (NYSE:GM) are developing electric models, I do not consider them electric car companies, as their primary products are not electric vehicles. The most promising EV

In general, dividend investors have a conservative approach. The focus is on blue-chip stocks with a good track record of dividends. However, some high dividend-yield stocks do not represent blue-chip companies. Yet, the valuation and yield are attractive enough for investors to consider some exposure, with these companies having average to good fundamentals. This column

The electric vehicle market is accelerating (pun intended). According to S&P Global, by 2030 one in four new passenger cars sold worldwide will be an EV. In fact, top automakers are expected to account for more than 70% of global EV production by 2030. According to U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), half of all

Investors are actively seeking AI stocks as businesses increasingly utilize artificial intelligence for improved customer experiences and revenue growth. While many AI-related stocks have seen significant gains, a few companies continue to offer promising investment opportunities. Here are three top AI stocks to consider for July, allowing investors to position themselves for the AI boom.

The tailwinds behind energy stocks are greater than the purported headwinds because the demand for oil and gas is so large. The global under-investment in fossil fuel production over the past 10-plus years has put the industry in a unique position. Although the economics for more oil and gas exploration didn’t always make sense, it’s

It’s a shame that so many financial traders have never even considered China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock. That’s fine, though, as LI stock could be a secret weapon in your portfolio. After all, you’re bound to be impressed with Li Auto’s delivery figures. Previously, I recommended trying a $1,000 share position in Li

Gold mining stocks present a conundrum for prospective investors. On one hand, the ambiguities in the market and the broader economy may spark the fear trade. If so, the underlying yellow metal should see increased demand. But on the other hand, the Federal Reserve might start raising interest rates again. Higher borrowing costs don’t exactly

It’s no secret that the past couple of years have brought volatile, less-than-ideal financial conditions for many corporations. As we continue to move toward a post-pandemic state of recovery, any signal of economic normalcy stands as a symbol of hope and optimism for better times ahead. One of such signal appeared on June 30, as

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere and has become a hot trend. Electric vehicles, cloud computing, automated robots, or machine learning, you name it and AI is present there. Whether it is the impact on employment and productivity or the potential to shape the future, AI is here to stay. As per Grandview Research, the global artificial intelligence
