Warren Buffett may be the Oracle of Omaha, but his track record isn’t perfect.

In the era of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), many retailers have gone bankrupt because they could not compete with the e-commerce juggernaut. And of course, the pandemic-era lockdowns causing many retailers to become saddled with gargantuan debt did not help. In just the last several years multiple, once major, companies have all gone belly up. The most
If any company reflects the state of China’s economy, it would be e-commerce and cloud-computing firm Alibaba (NYSE:BABA). Perhaps Alibaba stock is a bullish bet on China’s economic recovery, just as much as a wager on Alibaba as a company.

Investors tend to flock to dividend stocks when uncertain about the market’s outlook.

The healthcare industry has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years due to the global pandemic. However, as COVID-19 began to ease, the immense growth of the healthcare industry is expected to slow down.

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.
Equities related to the once-burgeoning hydrogen market are largely worth avoiding in 2024.

U.S. equities posted some gains last week, which I’m sure was refreshing to see given the sell-off a week prior. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively. This brings their respective year-to-date gains up to 6.9% and 4.0%. Unfortunately, market risks still remain. Not only do we still need inflation to come down consistently, but
The stock market has been on a caffeine high since the Federal Reserve promised to cut interest rates. The damaging economic impact of the Fed’s unprecedented ratcheting of rates could be minimized if rate cuts were to begin. Yet the insatiable spending policies of politicians in Washington are keeping inflation high and growing. Fed president
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
Growth stocks can deliver impressive long-term returns for patient investors. This group of assets has the potential to outperform the stock market due to high revenue growth.
