ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) is an exciting company in a dynamic industry. But the leading operator of electric vehicle charging networks is not a stock for anyone faint of heart to own or trade. Shares of ChargePoint have been incredibly volatile this year. Sure, it’s up more than 25% this week as investors have cheered the Federal
Like many stocks in 2023, Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) was flying higher on cruise control until August hit, and then PLTR stock sputtered along for the next three months. As I write this, its shares have lost 25% of their value in the last month. If not for a slight reassurance in the first two weeks
With the major equity indices signaling the possibility of a slowdown – if not an outright downcycle – investors may be better served considering overlooked value stocks. At this moment, I like the idea of self-preservation, meaning that taking on hyped growth names may not be prudent. To use a sports analogy, it’s possible we
Anytime you bring up the concept of “forever stocks,” you’re running the risk of incurring a serious tail risk. Obviously, forever is a long time – long enough for something to go wrong. Still, certain entities stand out because they basically command permanent relevance. To be sure, my ideas for forever stocks are boring –
International companies, especially here in the U.S., don’t get the attention they deserve. They are sometimes overlooked as another alternative to the U.S. market. However, investors should pay greater attention to stocks in other international markets that offer great potential and, most importantly, diversification, which is critical to a robust investment portfolio. Companies located in
The holiday season is a great time for consumers. Stores are putting their best foot forward to entice buyers for the holiday shopping season. Many companies need a solid fourth quarter to make their numbers for the year. However, not all consumer discretionary stocks are good choices. There are many factors that can pull consumer
ChargePoint Holdings (NASDAQ:CHPT) faces a challenging scenario as its stock experiences a significant decline. In the past month, CHPT shares have tumbled from over $40 per share to approximately $2.50 per share, sparking contrarian considerations. However, this downward spiral is not solely a result of broader market trends; substantial company-specific issues fuel it. Despite recent “Buy”
In my last article on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock, I discussed renewed bullishness following the release of the fintech/neobank’s latest fiscal results on Oct. 30. So far, a round of post-earnings bullishness has taken shape, albeit moderately. On Oct. 31, the first trading day after Q3 results hit the street, shares rallied by around 8.79%.
In the thrill of bull markets, investors often race to buy the best growth stocks. Conversely, bear markets cast a shadow of hesitation, with investors wary of diving into the downtrend. However, embracing a contrarian view might pave a golden path for long-term future gains. Amid looming economic clouds, the best growth stocks stand as
The current five trillion-dollar companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges include Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Nvidia (NASD AQ:NVDA). These five and two others, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), make up “the Magnificent Seven”. The Globe and Mail published a story on Nov. 1 that pointed out the Magnificent
It’s never too late for a comeback. Some stocks have languished and underperformed for years only to bounce back on evidence that business is back on track and financial results are improving. As Q3 earnings have poured in, several companies that had largely been written off or ignored by investors have surprised to the upside.
Autonomous systems, AI, quantum computing, and other groundbreaking technologies continue to redefine the way we live and interact. For those searching for the best tech stocks to buy, though, this ever-evolving landscape presents both challenges and opportunities. While the allure of tech growth stocks is hard to deny, savvy investors are increasingly turning their attention
In 2022, stocks entered a bear market, as much of Wall Street entered into a panic about the Federal raising interest rates. Stocks bottomed in October 2022 as very slowly, but surely, many investors realized that the “Don’t fight the Fed” mantra was inaccurate. That’s because, in-line with my predictions, higher rates did not cause
The holiday has always been a time for reflection, celebration and gratitude for Americans. This is also a time when investors can buy restaurant stocks that can potentially rise in value during this holiday season as consumers take advantage of deals like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This yearly event has helped companies increase sales
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), despite its name change and metaverse focus, is primarily a social media and AI powerhouse. While the company aims for metaverse leadership, long-term investors see value in its cash flow and growth potential. These characteristics are all within Meta’s entire portfolio of businesses. Experienced or new investors can consider investing in this
Buy-and-hold investors are comfortable taking long positions. To these investors, the only must-buy stocks are the ones they already own. However, this is not an ordinary time, nor is it an ordinary market. No, this isn’t a “this time it’s different” message. Markets may not repeat themselves, but they frequently rhyme. It may be
It’s easy to understand the allure of penny stocks, particularly for those new to the market. For relatively little money, an investor can control hundreds if not thousands of shares of a company. And if the stock moves up by literally just pennies, you can make huge profits. The problem is that penny stocks are
Some people believe that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock will always grind higher and that they should buy immediately all dips. However, while it might be fine to own a few AAPL stock shares, it’s not wise to make any assumptions. A near-term share-price rally isn’t guaranteed, even with a famous company like Apple. It’s reassuring to know that Berkshire Hathaway
After a sharp sell-off since mid-summer, many investors are looking for the safety of quality, blue-chip stocks. That’s if they haven’t moved over to the relative safety of U.S. Treasury notes. However, more aggressive, risk-tolerant investors may still want to consider penny stocks. If that’s you, there are some options to consider. One thing you’ll
The online gambling market is booming. In fact, the market is projected to hit $95 billion in revenue this year. By 2027, it could hit $131.9 billion, as noted by Statista. Better, the number of online gamblers could rally to 233.7 million by 2027, too. All of that should create a massive opportunity for the online gambling
