After a sluggish New Year start, the stock market is again rallying. The benchmark S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 each hit new all-time highs on Jan. 19.

As we look upon the New Year, we see that the landscape for 5G stocks is ripe for an exciting journey. The ongoing rollout of 5G networks globally presents an enticing opportunity for investors.

Tech has been the runaway success story of investing for years now. Even with increased volatility, no other sector has quite matched big tech’s ability to deliver outsized returns over the long-run. It’s why many of the top mega-cap companies are simply dominated by technology-oriented firms on the S&P 500. But while the big dogs

Given the bad news circulating in the last quarter of 2023 about the health of the electric vehicle industry, it’s not surprising that Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is down 26% so far in 2024.

The appeal of electric vehicle (EV) stocks is clear to many investors.
