Stock Market

The Magnificent 7 stocks have been the talk of Wall Street, and for good reason. These tech titans — Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) — have delivered stellar returns, driving the stock market to new heights. In fact, these seven stocks now account

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has been central to the AI revolution, with shares surging nearly 200% over the past year. The recent 10-for-one split enhanced accessibility for retail investors, who rushed into Nvidia stock after missing the earlier rally.  However, Nvidia faces competition from homegrown GPUs by companies like Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), as well

U.S. equities markets continue on their jaw-dropping rally. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has risen 22.6% since the start of the year, while the S&P 500 has hit a record, rising 18.1% on a year-to-date basis.  The rally is largely a continuation of what we had observed in 2023, a clear extension of the so-called “AI

These days, it seems everyone is worried about an inflationary bust. Many expect that over the next few months, inflation will reheat and push an already-fragile U.S. economy into recession.  But I think the opposite will happen. Instead, I’m calling for a disinflationary boom wherein stocks soar throughout the summer.   And it’s all thanks to

If you don’t own at least one of the Magnificent Seven technology titans, odds are you’re probably trailing the S&P 500 by a wide margin. Indeed, beating the market is tough without some help from the technology sector’s biggest, brightest stars. After explosive rallies enjoyed in recent months, though, some may view the Magnificent Seven

There’s a great deal to like about Soundhound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) stock at this point. Its exposure to the AI megatrend, alliance with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and strong, overall growth are all in its favor. However, given the stock’s recent, overdone rally, along with the name’s extremely high valuation and significant competition, I recommend that investors hold

As we enter the back half of 2024, I believe it’s time for a reality check. While the software rally has been fun, not all of these high-flying software stocks can justify their nosebleed valuations. Some appear bound to come back down to Earth. It’s worth digging deeper into Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), and Snowflake

Buying a stock is very easy but picking the right stock is tough. As we embark on the second half of the year, it is time to reevaluate your stock investment portfolio. The first half has been incredible for several stocks as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 steadily hit new highs and now is the

Palantir Technologies’ (NYSE:PLTR) shareholders fared well in the first half 2024 — no doubt about that. So, what’s next for Palantir? Palantir’s growth vision seems otherworldly based on recent announcements. Overall, we rate Palantir stock as a “B” and recommend it for a small share position. Oddly enough, one famous stock picker seemingly accused Palantir Technologies

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL)continues to ride AI and cloud tailwinds. Quarter-one solid earnings results and integrating Gemini AI into Google Search and its suite of Google apps have tech bulls confident in the long-term success of Alphabet stock. AI has driven the market ever since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022. While Alphabet stock has trailed other

The S&P 500 has continued to receive bullish forecasts from market analysts, including recent analyst upgrades. Some suggest the index could reach a target of 6,100 by the end of the year. The optimism is grounded in the index’s foundation of earnings growth, with additional support from favorable inflation news and expectations of a Federal

Are you willing to give an ambitious electric vehicle startup a chance? Can you tolerate risk, volatility and drama? If so, then you might consider investing in Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE). While there’s no guarantee of safety with Faraday Future stock, we’re giving it a “B” grade and it may be right for a small

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is at its highest price in 2024 and has bounced more than 80% higher from its April lows. Better than expected second-quarter deliveries drove the shares higher and Tesla stock notched its ninth consecutive day of gains. While Ark Invest’s perma-bull Cathie Wood still sees the electric vehicle maker going on a 10x

The search for stability and stable returns over time ought to be a primary focus of most investors right now. Yes, risk-taking growth investors have been rewarded during this record bull market in recent decades. However, there’s an entire class of investors who haven’t lived through a crash and seen what it can do to

Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) is constantly in the financial news lately because of an upcoming event. This can cause investors to become distracted and try to “game the system” by getting ahead of other stock traders. Stay focused on what’s important. Broadcom stock is a “B” grade stock for a right-sized position. Just to recap, Broadcom provides networking

For many of the global problems today, the solution will arrive via air mobility in the near future. Too much traffic? Flying cars! Overloaded airports and other overworked transportation infrastructure? Facilities to handle passengers and cargo at alternate sites like heliports. Meeting the demands of the burgeoning consumer class across the world? Air mobility brings in goods and services ranging from healthcare products

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) is a famous semiconductor developer, and its chief executive, Lisa Su, is a Wall Street celebrity. However, the market may be too optimistic about Advanced Micro Devices stock. It’s a tough call, but we’re assigning it a “B” grade for the time being. The recent price pullback from $200 may tempt you

Electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) might produce sleek and powerful automobiles, but there are problems underneath the hood of this company. Instead of waiting for a miracle to happen, investors should cut their losses or, better yet, just avoid Lucid stock altogether. I have to respect Lucid Group’s loyal investors. They’ve suffered harsh losses this year. I wish

Medical device stocks are effectively redefining the healthcare industry through innovative technology. The digitization trend in healthcare continues gaining steam, with advanced medical devices enhancing healthcare outcomes while becoming critical drivers in driving financial markets. These tools offer accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and personalized care, improving healthcare outcomes substantially. Hence, given their potential to revolutionize

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been on a tear lately. Apple stock has bounced back to not only the $200 per share mark, but onward to new all-time highs. As you likely already know, this latest wave of bullishness for the tech giant’s shares has all to do with its plans to capitalize on the generative artificial
