EV shares are beginning to win hearts once again in 2024. The S&P 500 index performed well in February in particular, with its total return figure increasing to 7.11% across the first two months of the year. It endorses the 2023 result by building on last year’s 24%. As long as the central bank is

In investing, where uncertainty often reigns high, dividend kings are the beacons of income stability and growth. Among them, three companies hold enduring leads.

Tech stocks continue to outperform. The Nasdaq index is up nearly 10% this year compared to an 8% increase in the benchmark S&P 500 index and a 3% gain in the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average. However, the rally among technology stocks continues to be uneven. While the Magnificent Seven and stocks of microchip companies

Up 20% in the last month, and 50% year-to-date, the stock of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is a great choice in this bull market that is being driven by artificial intelligence technologies.

With artificial-intelligence-related semiconductor stocks flying into low-earth orbit, you may be left wondering if there are alternative opportunities in the space. There are – and they enjoy the highest level of endorsement among Wall Street analysts. We must start, though, with a word of caution.

After closing out 2023 with a 15.1% gain, the Russell 2000 looks even better this year in the new year. In fact, since Jan. 2, the index is up about 4% year to date, and could push even higher, taking some of the most undervalued Russell 2000 stocks along for the ride. According to Goldman

At first glance, another gangbusters jobs report seems to imply that dividend stocks are irrelevant. It’s all about growth, baby! Well, maybe not. According to The Wall Street Journal, labor market growth continues – that’s the good news. However, the not-so-great news is that there are signs of a cooling employment arena. One of the

With another strong jobs report in the bag, the concept of targeting consumer staples stocks might seem overly cautious. Here’s the thing: nothing lasts forever. Last year, an alarming statistic pointed out that 93% of homebuyers have regrets about purchasing a home in 2023. That’s the real issue that investors need to be aware of.

Alcohol stocks fall into the consumer staples sector for their defensive attributes. It’s not that people “need” their products, but they tend to buy them no matter the state of the economy.

Apple became one of the most successful stories in the

Growth stocks have been on a tear over the past year and a half – that’s if you put them all in the same basket. If you invested in Big Tech, AI, or SaaS, you’d likely be sitting on some massive gains right now. However, while the rising tide has lifted many boats, not all

Your investing journey has to begin somewhere. For those of us who aren’t trust fund babies, we need to start with more modest sums. Putting $1,000 into the market at the beginning simply means it will take us longer to achieve our goals. It doesn’t mean we don’t invest in the stock market for annual

The stock market has been performing remarkably well within the last year due to several factors, including reduced inflation, which has caused the Federal Reserve to change its tone when it comes to interest rate hikes. Between March 2022 and July 2023, the Fed raised interest rates 11 times. But, they predict that interest rate cuts

Blue-chip stocks are established firms that offer revenue and earnings growth. Some of these companies are more mature and don’t go through as much volatility. Other blue-chip stocks can still grow and generate solid long-term returns but may be more prone to a market correction. These types of stocks are optimal for investors who can

Building a stock investment portfolio isn’t easy. One moment, you are tempted to wait for a dip, and another, you want to give in to the temptation of buying a stock at a premium with the hopes that it will generate strong returns. While it is impossible to time the market, it makes sense to

In 2021, meme stocks, led by GameStop (NYSE:GME), created seismic shifts in the investment landscape. The retail trading frenzy turned a market underdog into a sensation through the power of Reddit’s online communities. While the peak of the meme stock mania may have faded, its essence lingers, keeping the market abuzz with potential volatility and

There are some undervalued artificial intelligence (AI) penny stocks that are a great fit for investor’s portfolios. These companies trade at cheap valuations for a reason: namely, they have limited operating histories and there is a significant amount of speculation involving their future trajectories. However I’m also confident that these AI penny stocks could potentially
