Battery stocks are becoming more prominent as electric vehicles become a mainstay. The industry is set to achieve a compounded annual growth rate of 10.07% from now until 2028. According to the International Energy Agency, demand for electric cars is booming. The agency predicts EV sales will jump by 35% this year. When most investors

Short squeeze stocks can provide particular opportunities no matter what the market is doing. The market has declined in August as traders have taken some profits after a strong first half to the year. There are certainly some storm clouds on the horizon thanks to the Fed’s tight monetary policy and a potentially slowing economy.
For more than a year, a planned merger deal has been a big factor driving price action for shares in VMware (NYSE:VMW). As you may recall, back in May 2022, Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) announced plans to acquire all outstanding shares of VMW stock. Required regulatory reviews have delayed the merger, as the transaction could give Broadcom
There’s no foolproof method for making money in the stock market, and, in my view, no one should rely on any one technique for picking stocks. After all, using multiple criteria — including analyzing fundamentals, checking charts, and identifying macro trends — should increase one’s chances of success. One method that I will often use
Initial public offering (IPO) is the stock issuance process onto the public market. There are a few different methods by which a company will first become listed on a stock exchange. The most common way would be underwriters, which are typically financial organizations that supply a company with capital, and along with that comes risk
There’s increasing talk about a potential market crash. Several commentators have drawn parallels between 2023 and 1987 in that both years began with a massive run-up in stocks even while underlying fundamentals were fairly flimsy. The run in 1987 culminated in a historic market crash on October 19th of that year. Will history repeat? Maybe
Under the ongoing uncertainties in the global market, a trio of Chinese tech giants have lost significant value. This article lists the three stocks that, once titans of innovation and market dominance, face adversity. Yet, amidst the chaos, these giants have quietly laid the groundwork for a phoenix-like resurgence. The first one, a commerce behemoth,
Weakness will often lead to opportunity. In fact, weakness is how some of the most well-known investors made their fortunes. For example, Warren Buffett still tells folks “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Sir John Templeton taught us to buy excessive pessimism. Even Baron Rothschild once told investors, “The time to
Eight months into 2023, and we’re finally seeing the technology sector booming! The industry has surprised investors with the hype around Artificial Intelligence (AI). With inflation cooling and the economy improving, we are finally moving in the right direction. The industry suffered miserably in 2022, but with AI, several tech stocks have rallied. If you’re
I’m not sure these three battery stocks are the only ones to consider this month, but I do believe they are strong choices for investors. The growth of the electric vehicle (EV) industry has galvanized capital inflows into the space as EV sales have reached a critical mass. That truth is polarizing, but it means
Diving into the world of stocks, one might overlook steady performers in favor of flashier sectors. However, for those with a keen eye, promising utility stocks shimmer with potential in the vast landscape of equity investments. Utilities consistently serve homes and businesses, ensuring a flow of electricity, natural gas and water. These mammoth entities are
Blue-chip dividend stocks are a must-have for the core portfolio. These stocks represent companies with stable cash flows and have a low beta. Of course, even the best dividend aristocrats don’t have a yield over 10%. To be realistic, a yield of 4% to 5% is robust for a blue chip. However, for dividend investors,
Time and again, the skeptics and short-sellers have been wrong about Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock. After proving itself as the American king of artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Nvidia demonstrated its ability to outdo Wall Street’s expectations with the company’s stellar second-quarter fiscal 2024 results. I’ll admit that I chose not to recommend investing in Nvidia prior to
Top dividend stocks offer dependable long-term income, acting as an effective hedge against inflation. They outperform non-dividend stocks, with S&P 500 dividend growth stocks providing twice the return of non-dividend paying stocks from 1973 to 2022. Indeed, that’s a significant amount of time, suggesting dividend growth really matters for long-term investing returns. Investors who reinvest
A true frontier market, promising space stocks may potentially benefit from rapidly burgeoning interest in explorations beyond our planetary borders. For centuries, humankind has always looked to the stars and envisioned a true holistic economy. Given the pace of technological innovation, that fantastical notion may soon become a reality. According to Morgan Stanley, analysts estimate
The stock market has primarily been on a tear this year. Year-to-date, the S&P500 and the Nasdaq indices have risen 14.75% and 35.44%, respectively. This expectation-defying capital appreciation was not without its moments of volatility, and, of course, not every sector in the equities market is performing up to par. Some consumer discretionary stocks have been under pressure from rising costs,
AdvisorShares, the company managing the world’s largest hemp exchange-traded fund Poseidon Dynamic Cannabis ETF (NYSEARCA:PSDN), has reported a waning interest in cannabis stocks. The cannabis industry in the U.S. faces harsh realities of supply surplus, declining wholesale prices, stricter regulations, and distribution challenges. However, where crisis dawns for some, opportunities can emerge for others. In
Trends come and go in the dynamic realm of investing. However, certain sectors offer more than just fleeting opportunities. Battery stocks are increasingly becoming the linchpin of the modern energy equation, promising technological progress and attractive returns for savvy investors. Hence, every investor wants a piece of the action and is actively looking for battery
Now is a great time to be looking for hydrogen stocks to buy. Hydrogen stocks only continue to gain momentum as the shift toward decarbonization of energy production moves forward. Hydrogen contains roughly three times the energy of a similar amount of gasoline by weight. The combustion of hydrogen emits only water. That simple comparison
As consumer spending has (and continues to) cool, many retail stocks have become heavily sold short. In many cases, these large wagers by the short-seller community (considered to be part of the “smart money”) appear to be shrewd bets. However, in situations where the short side of the trade has become very crowded (i.e. the
