Lithium prices may finally be bottoming out, creating substantial opportunity for some of the world’s top lithium stocks to buy. For one, Bank of America analyst Steven Byrne sees lithium prices averaging about $14,000 per metric ton, as noted by Barron’s. That’s up from a previous estimate for $10,000. For 2025, he says prices could reach
According to Harvard University, about two-thirds of United States adults are “overweight or obese,” while 36% are obese. And the university predicts that, at the current rate, about 50% of Americans will be obese by 2030. But the good news is that the obesity rate seems to have declined in recent years. That’s because in
For those looking for short-squeeze stocks to buy, I would first like to let you know a few key things. These are the types of stocks that retail investors chase for big-time returns, and while it is up to you to decide what you do with your money, I would still warn that steering clear
Meme stocks are names that have gained a large following because of activity on social media. Of course, meme stocks’ heyday was back in 2021, and most of the names that went on a tear thanks to their popularity on social media have subsequently crashed. Among these stocks are GameStop (NYSE:GME), AMC (NYSE:AMC) and Ocugen
Space stocks are becoming increasingly appealing to investors as broader market indices, such as the S&P 500, experience declines. This market downturn presents a unique opportunity. Savvy investors can acquire shares of space stocks at significantly reduced prices. And this could potentially lead to seven-figure opportunities. Investing in these companies at an early stage can
Even though semiconductors and microchips are such an integral part of the global economy, there are still some chip stocks to avoid. It’s not because of a lack of demand or even customers, considering that nearly every country in the world needs microchips for one reason or another. Rather, the warning signs can be more insidious for retail investors who
Wall Street continues to dislike Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) because it is losing large amounts of money, and the Street has little or no tolerance for such companies because interest rates are high. Moreover, many of those who believe that higher-for-longer rates will inevitably doom such firms are selling short the shares of companies like Plug
Is the market likely to see a reset, similar to the ones after the dot-com bubble in 2000 and the 2008 financial crisis? As with everything in economics, opinions are divided. In this uncertain environment, identifying energy stocks to avoid becomes a critical strategy for investors looking to safeguard their portfolios. What is known is
5G stocks have an increasingly bad rap, as initial trends (reminiscent of blockchain enthusiasm, then artificial intelligence exuberance) pointed to every 5G company as a millionaire-maker. But, just as we saw with blockchain and are starting to see with AI, only a handful of companies are truly innovative and worth buying for the long-term: the
There are some REITs to avoid in this continued “higher for longer” interest rate environment. These investment vehicles are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates due to their reliance on debt financing. In this economic climate, REITs with high leverage ratios, short-term debt maturities and limited cash flows may struggle to maintain profitability and dividend
The Global X Hydrogen ETF (NASDAQ:HYDR) was launched on July 12, 2021. The ETF included hydrogen stocks to buy that were benefiting from the global hydrogen industry. Nearly four years later, it has less than $38 million in net assets invested across 25 companies. The ETF itself has lost 79% of its value as of
There might be better times to invest in EV stocks, and I think now is the time to look for EV stocks to avoid instead. The sector is grappling with a myriad of challenges, with the biggest fishes losing a ton of value of late. With the sector’s bellwethers struggling, the situation for smaller players
Although the demand for inflation-resistant stocks has fallen in the past six to 12 months as consumer prices have moderated, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon isn’t convinced inflation has gone the way of the dodo bird. “Many key economic indicators today continue to be good and possibly improving, including inflation. But when looking ahead
There’s been a significant divergence in the way in which large-cap stocks have performed versus their small-to-mid cap counterparts. More poignantly, U.S. equities performance is increasingly tied to how larger, well-known companies are doing. The way in which indices like the Nasdaq and S&P500 have risen against the Russell 2000 showcases this. The S&P500 currently
Curious why a veteran trader believes the market will scream higher by summer? Or why he believes the recent lows from the past few weeks might be the lowest point for the rest of 2024? You’ll find out now because Jeff Remsburg, the editor of the daily InvestorPlace Digest, just finished up an interview with
Should you support a company if the government does? That’s a personal choice, of course. However, there’s no denying that Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) will have a huge advantage with the government’s financial support. For that reason, it makes perfect sense to buy Micron Technology stock now. Really, it’s not a question of whether the Micron share
The economy continues to give investors mixed signals. Inflation remains at higher-than-average levels — compared to the Federal Reserve’s preferred 2% target. But that hasn’t satiated the demand for airline travel. That doesn’t mean, however, that every airline is a good investment. Poor analyst sentiment suggests there are several airline stocks to avoid. The last
Growth stocks have been huge winners over the past 18 months. Investors have shrugged off the sector’s 2022 bust and returned to growth and technology names with great enthusiasm. This move makes sense. The Federal Reserve’s planned rate cuts for later this year could be a major catalyst for the growth names in particular. And
As an investor, tech stocks have been an appealing choice over the last year as excitement about products such as generative AI pushed the sector higher. But not all are winners. Tech stocks that are not performing well or facing challenges, knowing when to sell can be even more critical. Rather than holding on and
Detroit’s comeback is nothing short of a miracle. As a city, it was dead and buried as recently as 2013, when it declared bankruptcy with more than $18 billion in debt. It has come a long way since those dark days. It’s not perfect — no city is. However, it’s attracting attention from various places,
