Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is a leading wireless technology and semiconductors business I have written positively about, primarily citing its relatively cheap valuation and successful foray into 5G.

QCOM’s

Your job, as an investor, isn’t to be a hero and speculate on poor-performing business. Rather, your goal should be to make money and, just as importantly, not lose money. Just as ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) is a money-losing operation, CHPT stock is a wealth burner and will likely continue to disappoint its investors. ChargePoint, a provider of EV charging

The stock market is at a crossroads. The indexes had a rough autumn as higher interest rates, inflation and mounting geopolitical crises cast a negative tone.

The lithium market is facing a seismic shift as prices drop at an alarming rate. Lithium prices have nosedived by more than 70% this year, sending shockwaves through the industry.

The outlook for oil and natural gas has gotten cloudy. After rising above $90 a barrel earlier this fall, prices fell back to $75 and are now hovering near $80 for a barrel of crude oil. The clean-energy sector looks even worse, with demand and prices collapsing in recent months. In this uncertain environment, the

The stock market seems to be recovering from the October slump, as the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have gained more than 3% and 6%, respectively, since the first week of November. However, not all stocks are benefiting from this year’s broad rally. There have been several equities that have had terrible returns throughout the

Things may be getting rocky in the broader market, but that doesn’t mean every trade has to be a loss. While going long and buying stocks is the conventional wisdom for most investors, shorting stocks can also pay off handsomely – if done carefully. Now, shorting stocks isn’t for the faint of heart. After all,

Blue-chip stocks offer investors the opportunity to generate stable returns. Most of these stocks are household names that can weather economic uncertainty better than high-growth stocks.

Amidst the relative calm on Wall Street, including the S&P 500 inching forward, the potential bubble in tech stocks poses a challenge for investors. The cooler-than-expected jobs report and a retreating bond market indicate that the Fed’s hawkish stance may soften. Hence, it becomes imperative for savvy investors to look at tech stocks to sell

I recently included Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) stock in a list of three cannabis stocks to buy now.

Hence, if you’re holding any names on this cautionary list, now might be the time to part ways. These stocks to avoid are likely to

Growth stocks can yield substantial future returns, provided favorable economic conditions and solid fundamentals. These companies often build strong market positions and stable revenue over time. Some former growth firms now reward patient investors with dividends. Stock market profits typically come from share price growth or dividends. Companies excelling in the former usually face significant

If you’ve invested in video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) in hopes of a 2021-style epic short squeeze, don’t get your hopes up. It’s unlikely to happen in the near future. Moreover, if you’re holding GME stock because you want GameStop’s chief executive to engineer a turnaround for the company, you should probably temper your expectations. Sure, the meme-stock mob gave

While the stock market has been rallying lately, not every equity is marching higher. Many stocks are continuing to slide deeper into red on the year. That is due to factors ranging from one-off problems and poor financial results to bad execution on the part of management and business cycles. Regardless of the reasons, some

Investors are infatuated with so-called flying cars. But this Jetsons-like future is still a ways off… and that’s why shares of Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) may be in for a rough patch after the company announced its third-quarter results late Thursday. Archer, one of the leading developers of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, reported

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) experienced significant growth due to AI hype, with its stock tripling during the ChatGPT AI wave. However, skepticism surrounds AI stock amid the stock’s high short interest. The company’s financials and outlook raise doubts about its potential for improvement, suggesting a further decline in its stock may be likely. C3.ai positions itself as

The US economy seems to be heading for a soft landing, with a slowdown in job growth indicating reduced inflationary pressure. Investors are optimistic that the Federal Reserve won’t need to raise interest rates further and might even cut rates sooner. This backdrop has led to the emergence of these stocks to sell before 2024.

Many once great stocks have lost their shine. Blue-chip companies that for years were reliable winners in the market have fallen on hard times and their share prices have steadily eroded. This can be extremely disappointing for shareholders who, after enjoying consistent gains, now find themselves deep in the red. The reasons for the downturns
