Following the release of yesterday’s hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index (PPI) report, investors have anxiously awaited the next round of inflation data.

The mystery stock that Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) has been accumulating a position in over the last six months could soon be revealed when the company releases its 13-F securities filing for the first quarter of 2024.

With global security concerns at the forefront of national agendas, governments have increased spending on advanced weaponry, sophisticated surveillance systems and cutting-edge military technologies.

Investors continue to struggle in relation to the direction of the world’s second largest economy. China’s growth has slowed in the past few years, pulling stocks lower. While many pundits have written off investing in the stocks from the country, others see its troubles being transitory in nature. For investors looking for nearer term catalysts,
Every once in a while, I like to consider stocks to buy on the dip. For my purposes, these are companies whose shares have fallen by 10% or more in a week of trading. This time last year, I recommended three stocks that had fallen by 10% or more in the previous week’s trading: Airbnb
Flying cars, or eVTOLs, are progressing rapidly, sparking urgency among investors to pounce on the opportunity. There’s been a ton of investment in the field, and the growing consumer interest could potentially spur a multi-billion-dollar industry.

Late last month, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares were on a tear. During this time, investors bid up Tesla stock not once, but twice. TSLA’s price performance in May has been stellar. Shares have retraced a substantial portion of last month’s gains. The stock may fall back to previous lower price levels. Recent news on Chinese EVs
Contrarian investing has many risks. Despite this, some investors love to pick up stocks at 52-week lows. These companies show signs of being neglected by the market or are simply beaten down by bearish sentiment. Investors sometimes like to find picks that can spring back up from an anticipated catalyst or even a seasonal event
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) share price enjoyed a resurgence in 2023. Many chip stocks performed well because of the buzz around artificial intelligence. Intel’s share price surged over 94.6% in 2023. Intel’s stock has plummeted over 40% this year. Below are 3 reasons Intel will likely remain a shadow of its former self. Chip Manufacturing and Intel
Tech stocks make up a large portion of popular indices like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite. The strong-performing Magnificent Seven cohort is also filled with tech stocks. While the tech industry has offered many opportunities for investors to outperform the market, some stocks in the sector are duds. These stocks have underperformed the stock market and don’t have much redeeming qualities. Certain
Lucid‘s (NASDAQ:LCID) first-quarter results, reported on May 6, were uninspiring, and the valuation of Lucid stock remains excessive. On the other hand, I’m now 70% to 80% sure the automaker’s upcoming Gravity SUV will be at least popular enough to keep the company afloat for the foreseeable future. I also think there’s a 50% to
Bankruptcy is simply a legal proceeding in which companies seek relief when unable to repay their debts. Although it relieves the debt burden, the effects of bankruptcy on a stock are often fatal. Publicly traded companies that declare bankruptcy see their share prices fall dramatically. The hint of bankruptcy alone is often enough to send
Investors who buy and hold reliable companies can be rewarded immensely for staying strong during volatility. Even the best stocks endure corrections and points when many doubt long-term prospects. However, some stocks have attracted rightful skepticism and look like they can hurt long-term investors. Stocks don’t always recover and reclaim their all-time highs. These corporations look
Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) first-quarter results show that the company’s revenue and customer base are growing rapidly. Still, PLTR’s profits remain quite low considering the company’s high-flying stock. And the company continues to face multiple, strong, worrisome threats.

There’s no need to worry about Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), however, as this company is constantly developing new ideas. Sensible investors can confidently trust Microsoft stock to follow an upward growth trajectory this year, earning it a “B” grade. We’re not going to claim that everything is 100% perfect with Microsoft. For example, Microsoft just got
Investors tend to be interested in low-priced stocks. A probable reason is having a diversified portfolio with limited funds. A bigger reason is the speculative activity associated with these stocks. Three stocks under $2 are likely to skyrocket within the next 12 to 18 months. While I mentioned speculative activity in low-price stocks, it does
During these challenging times of persistent inflation and high food prices, executives need to be responsive to consumers’ needs. Unfortunately, Starbucks’s (NASADQ:SBUX) management seems to be missing the mark in 2024. After reviewing the facts, I’m categorizing Starbucks stock as “cheap for a reason.” The situation with Starbucks has gotten so bad that former CEO
