The seeming inability of retail investors to permanently lift meme stocks bodes badly for AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock. Meanwhile, the company’s rather unimpressive first-quarter results, along with its high valuation and huge debt load, also don’t look good for its outlook. In light of all of these points, I strongly urge investors to unload the

Despite a significant comeback in 2023, Intel‘s (NASDAQ:INTC) share price has plummeted in 2024. The chipmaker’s shares have actually fallen nearly 40% since the start of the year. While some may be quick to blame the cloud macroeconomic environment on INTC’s poor performance, there are a number of company specific pressures that have led to
The Nasdaq Composite, which holds a number of big-name tech stocks, experienced a bit of selling pressure last week. In particular, the index fell nearly 2%. This potentially creates an opening for savvy investors to buy up shares of stocks that appear undervalued. One growth sector worth looking into would be quantum computing. Most people
Currently, there are only 68 companies that boast the esteemed title of Dividend Aristocrat. Among a couple of other, more trivial requirements, a company must be a member of the S&P 500 index and have raised its dividend payout for a minimum of 25 consecutive years. This is opening the door for some of the
In accordance with my previous prediction, silver prices have generally been making higher highs and higher lows since mid-February. As a result, the metal’s price has jumped from $22.39 per ounce on Feb. 14 to $30.56 per ounce on May 31. And on May 28, UBS raised its forecasts for silver prices by $4 per
The pandemic-driven transition from cash to digital payments has brought about a significant change in the financial services industry, and this change is here to stay. The global financial sector is going through a shift as people move from cash to online payments, increased card usage, and mobile banking. This not only adds convenience to our lives but has also brought
2023 was a very tough year for solar stocks overall. The Federal Reserve’s decision to hike interest rates several times made borrowing much more expensive, resulting in lower profitability for solar firms. Solar ETF performance was pretty dismal overall with some stunning losses. 2024 began with the expectation of a turnaround on hopes for interest
Low-price dividend stocks are among my favorite bets. A small investor can afford to build a portfolio of regular cash income from these stocks. Of course, the beta of these ideas is not as low as blue-chip dividend stocks. However, the focus of this column is on fundamentally strong undervalued dividend stocks under $10. Backed
With the market presenting challenges for investors, the case for trustworthy dividend stocks naturally rises. Providing a mixture of relatively predictable businesses with consistent passive income, these stalwart enterprises offer one of the best ways to stave off market jitters. Plus, it’s possible that monetary policy could end up favoring these income providers. Should the
In the last year or so, I’ve noticed an interesting pattern involving JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), the largest U.S. bank. Specifically, CEO Jamie Dimon sounds rather fearful about the U.S. economy in his widely followed speeches, but the bank buys huge amounts of the stocks of many companies. For example, in February, Dimon told CNBC that
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has produced generational returns in a short amount of time. The stock has soared by more than 3,000% over the past five years and continues to be a winner on Wall Street. Analysts continue to raise their price targets for the AI leader. It’s rated as a strong buy with a projected 10% upside from current
While the phenomenon known as revenge travel has faded, investors should still consider the bullish case for travel stocks. Right now, the U.S. dollar enjoys a strength relative to many other international currencies. As such, American tourists benefit from incredible purchasing power – and they’re flexing it. Another factor that helps move the narrative along
There are many ways to make it in business. Most management teams tend to paint within the lines, copying and mimicking the strategies that have worked for industry leaders. And there’s nothing wrong with that. People use tried and true playbooks for a reason. That said, some of the best investments can come when management
Retail stocks are never seen as compounders that can provide outsized returns. Of course, that narrative has changed this year with the performance of Abercrombie and Fitch (NYSE:ANF). Over the past year, ANF has returned more than 440%. Of course, not all retail stocks will provide you with these returns. But just like any other
Investors with a contrarian bent are likely interested in figuring out what are the top oversold stocks to buy. However, it’s reasonable to say that “oversold” is in the eye on the beholder. That is, as Investopedia explains in its definition, “oversold” is a subjective term. There are technical trading tools that can help you
In a world where the rules of the game are changing rapidly, some companies are innovating and developing transformative products. These trailblazers are not just revolutionizing the industries into which they have ventured but also present compelling opportunities for investors.

Curious about my chances of being replaced by an artificial intelligence chatbot, I went ahead and asked ChatGPT 3.5, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini to give me examples of stocks with poor ratings or sell signals. Both Gemini and ChatGPT gave me non-answers, explaining that I should do my research and what common pitfalls to
Smart investors look for growth stocks to maximize gains while minimizing risks. Sounds simple, right? That’s often not what happens, though! Most investors have little experience or have a trait for following the herd, which means they buy stocks at the top. They might think, “Well, everyone is raving about it, so it MUST be
Investing in meme stocks is speculative and risky, and with meme stocks tumbling, now is the time to look for meme stocks to sell. With little more than internet discussion board chatter to go on, meme stocks are the stock market’s equivalent of the Wild West. All it took was one post from Roaring Kitty
Undervalued growth stocks are particularly hard to find because investors are looking for companies that have experienced significant share price growth while trading for a fair valuation and continuing to offer a significant upside. There are stocks out there that fit this criteria — it just takes some digging. Below, I have selected a few companies that
