Stocks to buy

With the global economy facing uncertain times, investors ought to position themselves in top blue-chip stocks. No, aligning yourself with the biggest publicly traded companies doesn’t guarantee you anything. However, it should help you sleep a little easier at night. For one thing, the top blue-chip stocks are well-known enterprises, obviously. As mature businesses, it’s

Most investments are filled with uncertainty. You could put your money into a CD or a high-yields savings account to minimize your risk, but these accounts don’t pay as well as stocks. While stocks can go down, they can deliver tremendous upside for long-term investors. Index funds and ETFs can simplify the process of investing. These funds take less

High interest rates seem to be plaguing many sectors of the economy. The electric vehicle space perhaps received the most coverage, but several renewable energy sectors are reeling from elevated rates. The hydrogen sector is one of them. Not only are there many startups firms in the space, but for more established firms, creating viable

Investors spend the extra effort to research growth stocks and construct their portfolios with the hopes of outperforming the stock market. It’s possible for some growth stocks to become multibaggers for patient investors. However, these same stocks may go through sharp declines on the way to their full potential. Investors should look for corporations that

Battery stocks have been depressed in the last few quarters. That does not come as a surprise, with the electric vehicle (EV) industry facing macroeconomic headwinds. Further, overall EV adoption has been slower than expected. I, however, believe the long-term outlook for the industry remains positive. The correction presents a good opportunity to accumulate potential

Broader stock markets are getting slammed this month. But investors finally have a shot at buying, at better prices, the same AI stocks that enjoyed breakthrough Q1 rallies. Those with long-term mindsets could get more value as they pursue the market’s most intriguing AI plays. This could prove profitable while they’re on the descent. Following

Investors have been snookered by technology head fakes in the past. The metaverse was hardly the game-changing advance we were promised. Very few people, it turns out, actually want to be connected to their computers all day, every day to work, play and interact. The metaverse may hold some value but the exponential market opportunity

Quantum computing technology and applications across sectors are advancing rapidly; the market is predicted to grow over 32% from 2023 to 2030, attracting attention toward multibagger quantum computing stocks. Furthermore, industry developments such as IBM’s (NYSE:IBM) 433-qubit Osprey processor represent a substantial advancement in quantum computing, enabling complicated calculations beyond traditional computers. Amidst this, an

Biotech stocks are notorious for being some of the most volatile and unpredictable on the market. With clinical trials and FDA approvals creating potential leaps or falls in what seems like an instant, there is no denying the risk involved. However, equal to this risk is the possible upside that proves to be one of

Not all value stocks are equal. Investors looking at these value stocks at 52-week lows may think they’re among the worst picks in today’s market. But, in the case of these three companies, their 52-week lows mark a potential pivot point. Each has unique bullish tailwinds building behind them, whether imminent news or corporate strategic

The transportation sector literally helps to drive the U.S. economy forward. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the transportation and warehouse sector made up of planes, trains and automobiles contributed $1.7 trillion to the economy in 2022 (latest statistics available). That equates to 6.7% of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). Employment in transportation

2023 was a record year for ransomware attacks, with companies like MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) suffering largely publicized attacks. Despite the efforts of companies and regulators, this trend isn’t slowing in 2024. The only defense will be more investments in cybersecurity, which will benefit top cybersecurity stocks. Although regulators are trying to crack down on

In a recent article about ETFs, I wrote about the Invesco S&P 500 Quality ETF (NYSEARCA:SPHQ), a passive index fund looking for stocks in the S&P 500 with sound fundamentals. Interestingly, not one of the 102 holdings was Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock.  That made me question whether Amazon is a “quality” stock.  A high-quality score requires

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) fell hard before it announced earnings on April 25, finishing the trading day below $400 per share. But thanks to blowout earnings that beat estimates things are looking up. Analysts were expecting earnings of $2.82 a share, up just 15% from a year ago, with revenue of $60.8 billion, but Microsoft stock surprised.

Top travel stocks are catching investors’ eyes with consumer spending patterns revealing resilience despite the economic headwinds. Though the concerns over a hard landing remain, data indicates that consumers are still happily opening their wallets for travel experiences. Moreover, airfares, car rentals, and hotel rates dipped last month, another catalyst for the travel stocks. According

This election year, cannabis legalization will be on the ballot in the Sunshine State. On November 5, if Floridians vote “yes” on Amendment 3, they will be supporting legalizing recreational marijuana usage for adults who are at least 21 years old as long as they only possess up to three ounces. Currently, medical requirements must

Throughout my journey as an investor, I’ve learned that some of my most profitable picks stem from purchasing quality businesses when their share prices have been battered. A useful starting point for identifying such opportunities is filtering for stocks near their 52-week lows. It’s crucial for investors to remember that a stock doesn’t necessarily imply

Most entertainment stocks are considered better investments than AMC (NYSE:AMC)—well, duh! We’re talking about a stock that lost over 90% of its value last year and over 97% in the past decade. Additionally, it continues to deplete its cash reserves while grappling with a debt burden that pushes it close to bankruptcy. However, AMC is

Flying car or electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) stocks have taken off in the past six months. There have been plenty of positive developments in the flying car space, which is why many of the stocks linked to the sector have taken off. Therefore, within a short time, the fantasy of flying cars is

Investing in stocks is a long-term process. You will have to ride the highs and lows of any investment, but the top stocks for April are more reliable than others. It’s possible to find stocks you can safely hold for over a decade. These corporations exhibit financial strength and have growth opportunities readily available. You
