Generally speaking, investors seeking long-term success should follow the guidance of Warren Buffett rather than target cheap stocks to buy under $10. Fundamentally, the Oracle of Omaha knows how to effectively navigate both bull and bear market cycles. Such a track record provides more confidence than swinging for the fences. Still, speculation has its moments.
Stocks to buy
Given the sensitive nature of current and ongoing geopolitical flashpoints, the concept of top defense stocks to buy seems controversial. Indeed, the sector has always attracted criticism as it runs almost perfectly counter to contemporary environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. Still, while the underlying business of war may be ugly, it’s a necessity. Listen,
Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) excels in the world of hydrogen technology. They produce solid oxide fuel cells that generate electricity from both grey and green sources (hydrogen derived from natural gas and water/electrolysis).

Fintech growth stocks have thrived, offering cost-effective and convenient solutions through digital platforms. SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock stands out with its comprehensive financial services, becoming a go-to hub. The company’s market cap surged from $4.1 billion in October 2022 to $7 billion in 2023. That’s mainly because of SoFi’s expansion beyond student loans, becoming a
SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock is a challenging banking proposition. The company took away the buildings and most of the people. It has a national banking license but no branches. The business is defined by the net interest margin it can extract from its target market. Net Interest Margin and Sofi Stock As I wrote last
One of the biggest worries for Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) and other coffee purveyors is the state of coffee itself. Without the coffee bean, it has no business, and SBUX stock is worthless. Nobody wants that. At least not the company’s executives in Seattle. So, to maintain a product supply threatened by climate change, Starbucks is developing
I last wrote about ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE:CHPT) stock in February 2022 ahead of its Q4 results. Given its stock had lost 55% over the past year, it couldn’t afford any bad news. In the 20 months since my article, its shares have lost 82% of their value. That tells me it didn’t meet the three drivers
Despite 18 months of rising interest rates from the Fed, the U.S. economy held a steady 4.9% growth rate in Q3, defying the gloomier economic predictions from economists and analysts.

Investing in blue-chip stocks is about building a steady portfolio that can withstand any market situation. While there is no guarantee of solid returns, there are times when blue-chip stocks soar over 100% in just a few months and this is when you can make the most of your investment. Many blue-chip stocks in the
Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and other emerging innovations that reshape our lives and economies remain a focal point for investors seeking robust growth. With top tech stocks constantly innovating, allocation to the sector is mandatory. However, rapid innovation also causes massive disruption. Indeed, some incumbents face competition from new entrants with superior technologies.
The electric vehicle (EV) sector is undoubtedly a very new area for us today, but that does not mean it is not a completely profitable sector for us as investors. Of course, being a new sector in the market may mean we incur risks from unknown companies or perhaps those just starting. But if you
Despite being an unimpressive year for battery stocks, positive industry tailwinds for electric vehicle stocks and their energy sources will last well beyond this decade. Therefore, the correction in battery stocks makes now a good time to consider fresh exposure, especially since several developments are presently happening in the battery space. The most anticipated is
In today’s market, marked by a market correction and wide bearish sentiment, investors are flocking to low-risk, low(ish)-reward assets like treasuries. Fixed-income strategies like bond ladders offer more yield than they have in decades. At the same time, stocks are sliding and real estate is slumping. It’s no wonder investors are flying to safety and
The current situation in the Middle East is starting to strike fear in the markets. The intensified attacks due to the war between Hamas and Israel are making investors reach for the safety rails should the market tank.

Wagering on dividend growth stocks offering yields of 4% to 8% can harmonize income with capital appreciation potential. However, the tempo of sustainability is imperative to consider as you look to scrutinize the payout ratio, growth prospects, and the firm’s financial health. A high yield might be a false crescendo, signaling deeper issues in earnings
Cannabis stocks will eventually see higher highs — with patience. Right now, we’re waiting to see if the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) takes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) advice to remove cannabis as a Schedule I drug, which could boost related stocks. We’re also waiting to see if there will be any potential progress
There are several stocks that investors can buy today for big long-term gains and profits. These aren’t the usual names tied to artificial intelligence (AI) or weight loss drugs that have enjoyed big runs year-to-date. Instead, these companies might be flying under the radar despite significant catalysts forming around them and the reporting of better-than-expected
The electric vehicle (EV) market has a high-growth potential that seems to be increasingly favorable in comparison to gas-fueled cars. Last quarter alone, more than 300,000 EVs were sold in the United States. This indicates the growing increase in demand for environmentally-friendly vehicles. In 2025, its expected that EV sales will account for half of
The market selloff that began in August is accelerating, with the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index having fallen into correction territory, which means it is down over 10% from its peak reached earlier this year. The Nasdaq officially entered a correction on Oct. 25 when it declined 2.4% to 12,821.22, bringing it 12% lower than its
One of the New York Yankees’ most well-known players’, Yogi Berra, famous for his strange, yet funny statements, used to say, “This is deja vu all over again.” That’s how I feel about U.S. stocks at this point. In many ways, the current environment feels like 2022, when most economists and Street investors were sure
