After a November rally, December is off to a slow start. With earnings season winding down and investors engaging in tax-loss harvesting and profit-taking, the next opportunity for stocks will likely be a January effect.

Despite being a hot investment trend, the electric vehicle (EV) sector faced challenges in 2023 with softened global demand. While the long-term outlook remains positive, caution is advised as not all EV companies will survive given the competitive and capital-intensive nature of the industry.

It was always a matter of time before Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock broke through the trillion-dollar threshold. It was simply when, not if.

The holidays aren’t usually hot for tech stocks, except for well-known eCommerce companies like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). However, that represents a buying opportunity for investors.
