Investors look at blue-chip stocks for dividends and capital preservation. However, dividend stocks do not always trend higher. There are years or phases of price or time correction due to temporary industry or company-specific headwinds. For value investors, I see a correction in quality blue-chip stocks as a golden opportunity to accumulate. I am reminded of Charlie Munger’s idea
After stuffing your portfolio with safe, stable stocks, prudent investors should also allocate a small portion to higher-risk, ultra-speculative names. Why? Because while they’re risky, these stocks boast huge upside potential if things break right. I’m not advocating recklessness here, but rather calculated speculation. We all hope to one day pick the next Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
Ocean tech stocks are seeing a resurgence recently, as ongoing sustainability concerns shift investor attention towards the open seas. Companies as diverse as wind farming, desalination, shipping, and more all leverage the deep blue sea to improve our global climate impact. But not all ocean tech stocks are created equally. Unfortunately, many small companies exist
In the world of technology, 2023 marks a pivotal year with the rise of artificial intelligence. Particularly, generative AI stands out.

Whether you are a bull on the world’s transition to electric vehicles or not, lithium stocks are expected to rise in value significantly over the next few decades. These companies produce crucial elements to keep our electronics powered; thus, lithium’s spot price is expected to rise in step. I’ve researched three lesser-known companies for investors
The explosive rally seen in November shows signs of faltering. As of this writing, the major stock indices have declined for three consecutive days at the start of December and there is no sign of a year-end Santa Claus rally. Could investors end up with a lump of coal in their stockings this year? It’s
What do you do if you’re running a struggling retail company that is bleeding red ink as sales continue to fall? Apparently if you’re Ryan Cohen, the CEO of GameStop (NYSE:GME), you decide that it’s time to take some of your cash and invest it in other stocks. Huh? Yes, GameStop’s Cohen, the co-founder of
The best flying car stocks today are air taxi companies driving aggressive strategies. With promises to bring taxis to our cities in the next two or three years, these flying car stocks are set to revolutionize the industry if they can meet their timelines. Not every company will make it, but even one hit could pay dividends
Investors don’t have to hit a home run with every stock they own. One or two multibaggers can be enough to set one up for life or at least a comfortable retirement. It’s been difficult to find stocks that offer runaway growth since the meme stock rally faded. The days of a stock rising 100%
Sustainable stocks continue to get a bad rap from investors. The standard argument against sustainable investing is that it’s not profitable, even when done correctly using all the appropriate screens to exclude companies not adhering to the stringent criteria for sustainable stocks. What are these criteria? It helps first to identify what sustainable investing is
The nationwide rollout of the 5G mobile network three years ago marked a critical moment in telecommunications, ushering in a new era of investment in 5G stocks. This upgrade from 4G LTE to 5G represented a quantum leap in technology, promising download speeds up to 100 times faster. Beyond the buzz of lightning-fast internet, 5G
Quantum computing is an emerging field of computer science that leverages classical physics and mathematics. The field’s promise is simple: to increase the speed with which computers can do calculations. Thus, stocks in the field are highly attractive to investors in this increasingly digitized world. The most important thing to understand here is the idea
C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock rallied into its earnings report on Wednesday. However, the stock has plunged following the release as investors appear to be pricing in a weaker-than-expected outlook for the company. For AI-related companies like C3.ai, guidance can often be more important than the company’s numbers. That’s because investors don’t necessarily care what the company
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to be considered the creme-de-le-creme of AI stocks. The company’s business model, focused on supplying high-performance chips powering the AI revolution, makes this stock one of the pure-play options that’s a no-brainer for growth investors right now. Indeed, while competitors like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and other chip makers may challenge Nvidia in this
Late last month, and early into this month, GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock experienced what could be called a pre-earnings rally, but in hindsight may have been little more than a “dead cat bounce.” However, this latest run-up for the “meme stock” legend has ended almost as quickly as it started. Shares began to pull back on
With the stock market’s wild swings and worries of recession still looming large for 2024, I understand why so many investors have turned ultra-cautious and may only consider the safest, most rock-solid stocks. That’s especially true, given the market’s steep losses last year. Indeed, no one wants to see their portfolio’s value nosedive again. But
Life is short. Time relentlessly moves forward, transforming seconds and minutes into hours and days. Before you know it, it’s nearly the end of 2023 and another year is winding down. The lesson here? You can’t afford to waste time when you’re investing, especially if you’re holding F-rated stocks to sell. F-rated stocks are a
It’s an understatement to say that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock knocked it out of the park in 2023. With rising uncertainty, more investors are taking profits, causing this “Magnificent Seven” component to pull back in recent weeks. This price trend could carry on into 2024. Cashing out of Nvidia is trendy, but going against the grain
Disney (NYSE:DIS) might be famous for providing family-friendly fun, but owning DIS stock over the past two years surely hasn’t been much fun. Before you go bargain hunting, be sure to get the lowdown on Disney’s executive-level drama. Then, you’ll probably choose to park your investable capital elsewhere for the time being. Don’t get the wrong
While the benchmark S&P 500 index is up nearly 20% since the start of this year, the equal-weight version of the index is only up 6.2%. This is because the Magnificent 7 stocks, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), continue to play a major role in the 2023 bull run.
