Bears have faced a challenging few years, feeling like an eternity since the 2019 flash crash had pessimists forecasting a financial downturn akin to the 2008 crisis.

Dividend Aristocrats are stocks that are members of the S&P 500 index and have raised their dividend payouts yearly for 25 years or more. It’s an exclusive list of companies.

An underappreciated part of investing is knowing when to cut your losses. No one bats a thousand in this field; even the best investors make some bad picks and come up with ideas that don’t pan out from time to time. It’s one thing to get a pick wrong. It’s quite another thing to stay

Buyers of 10-year Treasury notes are betting the U.S. Federal Reserve is not finished raising interest rates.

In January, I published MarketMasterAI’s top 500 stocks to buy for the first half of 2024. The AI-powered system ranked the largest American firms by market capitalization and chose what it believed to be the best investments for the next six months.

It’s no secret that tech stocks are on fire. The major American stock indexes have reached new highs in 2024, with growth and technology companies leading the way. There are good reasons for much of these gains, such as the booms that we’re seeing in artificial intelligence and semiconductors right now. However, not all tech

If you’re investing under the assumption that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is infallible and invincible, think again. As the company shows cracks in the armor, AAPL stock gets a “D” grade and we’re not giving it a confident recommendation today. We’ve already pointed out some problems with the seemingly almighty Apple. For example, iPhone shipments fell by approximately 33% year over year

Lucid stock (NASDAQ:LCID) burst into the scene with its sleek, high performance luxury electric vehicles (EVs). The company’s initial promise and bold claims after its IPO in 2021 garnered significant investor attention.  However, 2024 could be the year that the music stops for Lucid stock.

The path to recovery for global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic hasn’t been easy.

Cocoa prices are still pushing aggressively higher, and may still have room to run. Recently passing $10,000, cocoa is up about 120% this year.

Nio (NYSE:NIO), which at one time traded for as much as $62.84 per share, now trades for under $5 per share, putting NIO stock firmly in penny stock territory.

It is not a bad idea to hunt for biotech stocks to sell. Such stocks have earned a bad reputation among investors, and for good reason. Most biotech companies fail, as their success often hinges on receiving regulatory approval for their products. It is an extremely high-risk sector to invest in. For every promising biotech

“Let your winners run.” That’s the advice I gave two months ago in arguing for investors to not take profits on winning investments even if they seem like overvalued stocks. Doing so undercuts your portfolio’s returns. I stand by that advice. But as they also say, never say never. By and large I am a

Semiconductors are being called the “oil of the 21st century.” Much like energy reserves, the U.S. government is securing reliable sources of semiconductors to fuel economic and technological growth. By 2030, the U.S. could produce 20% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors, according to American Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. The U.S. currently produces between 10%

The stock market rally continues, with last week’s jobs report sparking a rebound. And just a day after a steep slide, investors may wish to become just a bit more selective.
