With one month left in the year, it’s time for investors to consider buying stocks from the United Kingdom (U.K.). Recently, Vanguard highlighted that it expects U.S. stocks to generate annualized returns of 5.2% over the next decade, 280 basis points less than non-U.S. developed markets. Small- and mid-cap stocks make up a major chunk of
The top tech stocks are more just the “Magnificent Seven” list or the next big thing in artificial intelligence. Today, in a higher interest rate environment, you can’t afford to gamble on companies with limited long-term prospects or poor financials. Markets aren’t rewarding bad financial management, nor are they throwing cash at losers with limited
ESG, which stands for environmental, social, and governance, is a term thrown around quite loosely these days. I’ve realized that many believe ESG is a political initiative that goes against the grain of the free markets. However, that is certainly not the case. Although the concept does steer companies in a specific direction, the primary
The year 2023 has been a volatile one for the equities markets and investors, especially for those playing in the small-cap space. The S&P500 and Nasdaq faced an extended sell-off and even entered “correction” territory between August and November, as investors worried about inflation and the impact of the Fed’s rate hikes. Fortunately, the recent
The electric vehicle industry is going through several important changes that have stunted prices. However, the current expectation is that presently muted demand will not continue indefinitely. The industry has already reached a critical mass that all but ensures the continued growth of the industry. In fact, this graph indicates that the demand curve is about to
AI chip stocks like Nvidia (NVDA) were the hottest investment of 2023. In fact, NVDA stock itself has soared more than 225% this year. But we’re rapidly approaching a new year and, with it, a new top investment idea. Move aside, AI chip stocks. It’s time for the AI software stock boom. Approaching AI Software
As a proud Canadian, it bothers me that Canadian airlines rank last for on-time arrivals in North America. While not surprising, given most Canadians aren’t known for seeking competence from their duopolistic domestic businesses, American investors are wise to put Canadian airline stocks at the top of their list of Canadian stocks to avoid. Fortunately,
In the unpredictable terrain of the stock market, meme stocks to avoid have become a critical watchlist for investors. The social media-driven phenomenon has effectively turned stocks you’d typically avoid into viral sensations, leading to temporary price surges as communities rally to boost their value. While this could potentially lead to short-term gains, the underlying
While it might immediately seem the most intuitive concept, investors may want to start planning stocks to buy this winter. Cooler weather and the eventfulness that it brings implies more folks stuck indoors. And that might have a negative impact on emotional wellbeing, which could dissuade investor sentiment. On the other hand, some experts believe
As countries throughout the world work to make (or keep) climate change top of mind in policy initiatives, some investors are paying more attention to a company’s environmental, social and governance score. An ESG score measures how well a company performs regarding issues like sustainability and gender equality. Because of their environmental focus, clean energy
With concerns about a slowdown in the global economy rising, investors may be better served considering the top healthcare hidden-gem stocks. To be sure, no guarantees exist in the market; otherwise, everyone would pour money into the guaranteed space. However, over the long run, the healthcare sector may be as close to a sure thing
Lithium stocks have suffered sharp declines in 2023. The price of lithium carbonate has cratered 77% YTD, on the back of higher supply and lower EV sales volume in China. Lithium is a key component within the electric vehicle battery supply chain. It is also needed to meet the growing demand of energy storage systems.
Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is not like other electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers. Not only is it focused on the consumer SUV market but also the commercial truck market. A partnership with Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) to deliver 10,000 electrified vans to the e-commerce giant has been a major selling point. Now Rivian plans to offer its commercial vans
This has been a rough year for the real estate investment trusts. While the S&P 500 index is showing returns of nearly 20% in 2023, many of the top REIT exchange-traded funds are barely holding their own. There are plenty of REITs to avoid these days. REITs own and manage income-generating real estate properties, everything
Tech stocks are in the green in 2023, but not all fintech stocks have fared well. PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock certainly hasn’t been a winner this year, and the near-term prospects aren’t great. It’s a textbook example of the principle that just because a stock has declined sharply doesn’t mean isn’t a bargain. PayPal stock gets a “D”
Since plunging during the summer, Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock slid lower. This is not surprising, given how the latest news and developments bode badly for the company’s future prospects. Many investors are optimistic about shares rebounding soon, as has happened several times in the past following any spark of good news. Then again, this time, it
Investors have cooled recenty on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock, which may surprise some. After all, in late October this fintech firm/neobank unveiled strong quarterly results and promising updates to guidance. However, a recent valuation development has stuck in the minds of investors and started to counter the positive takeaways from the latest earnings release. This
Even though Block (NYSE:SQ) is a premier player in the digital payments space, its 2023 performance is disappointing. A turnaround is likely imminent for SQ stock, however, as Block will soon be a leaner business and the company expects to earn substantial operating income this year. It’s understandable if some investors are concerned about Block’s future. Alyssa
Once a blockbuster hit in the financial markets, Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock can’t seem to gain traction in 2023. Will next year be any better? Don’t get your hopes up, as the recent news items pertaining to Nio don’t give a very positive impression. China-based EV manufacturer has the unenviable task of competing against Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), which started an
Without a doubt, the best time to buy stocks in a sector is when sentiments are significantly bearish. Or as the saying goes: “buy when there is fear in the streets and sell when there is greed.” This perfectly applies to the cannabis sector today. In fact, some of the best cannabis stocks have plunged
