Stocks to buy

Volatility has increased on Wall Street, and many investors wonder if indices could decline double digits or even crash in the coming weeks. While a steep fall in stock prices can undoubtedly disrupt portfolios, astute investors recognize such a decline as an opportunity to acquire high-quality assets, including small-capitalization (cap) shares, at attractive valuations. Enter

Corrections and crashes test the resolve of investors who claim to be in it for the long haul. Some investors flee from the stock market upon any distress, while others buckle down and wait for the storm to pass. Storms will come for any investor, but there are ways to minimize the damage. Some investments are built to endure

Few investment strategies have performed as well for as long as dividend investing. Numerous studies show that buying stocks that have initiated a dividend and then increased it over time beat all other stocks on the market. That’s why Dividend Aristocrat stocks are the cream of the crop. To become dividend royalty, companies need to

Speculation is rife in the market right now and there are plenty of risky stocks for investors to gamble on in an attempt to make a fortune.

UBS says investors should forget about the Magnificent Seven and look across the Atlantic to 18 European stocks they’ve highlighted that account for approximately 25% of the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, the exact weighting as the Mag 7 when initially conceived in 2023.  At least with the Mag 18, you have 18 choices rather than

The Federal Reserve is not purposefully trying to crash the economy, but it might end up doing so anyway. Because out-of-hand government spending reignited inflation’s rise, the Fed is no longer eager to cut sky-high interest rates. It’s even being whispered the central bank could even raise rates again. Threading the needle between interest rates,

While I have written quite a few articles lately on shifting some of your gains into defensive stocks and safe dividend stocks, I still think that it is very important to keep some potential multibagger growth stocks in your portfolio. No one truly knows where the market is headed. We may even see the rally

Not too long ago, analysts and early adopters touted the technology of 3D printing as the future of manufacturing. Then came market corrections and concerns surrounding the feasibility of long-term pure-play 3D printing companies. Further damaging the industry, the advent of 3D-printed guns and other contraband items began to raise concerns regarding the ethicality of

Wall Street has been witnessing the rapid transformation of the technology sector. Advancements in artificial intelligence, EVs and renewable energy have put the focus back on many tech stocks. Meanwhile, rare earth metals have become increasingly crucial for technology. These elements are part of modern innovation, from powering our smartphones and EVs to enabling solar

Investors tend to flock to dividend stocks when uncertain about the market’s outlook. Commonly referred to as “defensive stocks,” these investments appeal to investors seeking consistent payouts over time. Dividends are generally paid quarterly, diverging from day traders’ interests in short-term profits. Thus, these types of stocks often demonstrate stability. With recent market volatility fueling

Though travel and cruise stocks have yet to return to their pre-Covid-19 levels, 2024 may be the year of vacations. According to U.S. cruise operators and travel agents, travelers have booked record levels of cruise tickets, surpassing 2019’s numbers. This marks a return of interest and trust in the cruise ship industry after pandemic-era controversies.

AI stocks have cooled off significantly over the past few weeks due to bearish macroeconomic reports. GDP growth came in slower than expected, and inflation data came in slightly hotter than expected. Thus, I do think that you should consider shifting a lot of your growth gains into defensive stocks and other dividend stocks that can withstand a correction if

The S&P 500 index had touched highs of $5,275 towards the end of March. However, there has been some correction in the markets driven by geopolitical tensions coupled with stubborn inflation in the United States. While I remain positive about the market outlook for 2024, I am cautiously optimistic because rate cuts might be delayed.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) visionary Sam Altman has dominated the tech world over the past couple of years. He shot to fame following OpenAI’s release of its groundbreaking large language model, ChatGPT, in late 2022. Since then, ChatGPT has become ubiquitous, with Altman becoming synonymous with all things AI. Though OpenAI made Altman famous, his investments

Energy stocks provide investors with an opportunity to diversify their portfolios. A particularly good time to look for energy stocks to buy is during times of inflation. Rising oil and gas prices allow these stocks to act as a hedge. That dynamic can be seen in the performance of the iShares U.S. Oil & Gas

Machine learning is closely related to artificial intelligence. It is a branch thereof which enables computers to emulate human learning. The scientific field arose in the 1950s but has largely remained non-influential in the stock market until very recently.  Artificial intelligence has come to the fore over the past year making machine learning stocks incredibly

The Defiance Hotel, Airline, and Cruise ETF (NYSEARCA:CRUZ) is up by approximately 25% year-over-year, illustrating the robust growth embedded in cruise stocks. However, what goes up must come down, which is why I believe a minor correction in cruise stocks is due. Moreover, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slipped by more than 3% month-to-date,
