The markets have an ocean of stocks, and consistently beating the index involves spotting the right opportunities. This further involves two important aspects. First, not pursuing hot stocks for fear of missing out. It generally translates into buying at stretched valuations.

Quantum computing stocks should be on your radar. The vast potential of quantum technologies means we’ll likely witness dramatic progress in AI, IoT, and clean energy technologies.

Low-price stocks are the favorite of retail investors. It’s understandable, as there is scope for diversification even with a small corpus. However, in general, low-price stocks come with big risks. The exposure, therefore, must be limited to avoid potential capital losses. Fortunately, stocks under $10 represent companies with good fundamentals. Investors will not lose sleep
The economy is showing strong signs of improvement as we get into the holiday mood. Investment choices are many, but investors with a limited amount need to conduct thorough research. Diversification is the key if you are a beginner and starting with $1,000. This is one of the keys when thinking about the best ways
Hypergrowth stocks have endured a rough couple of years. While big tech names saw a comeback rally, smaller, high-growth companies struggling through growing pains didn’t get the same lift.

In 2023, electric vehicle (EV) sales are expected to make up about 9% of auto sales, according to Atlas Public Policy, as noted by the Associated Press. That’s up from 7.3% in 2022. It’ll be the first time more than a million EVs have been sold in the country in a single year. In China, EVs made up
Temperatures are getting lower, at least in most of the United States. The Farmer’s Almanac predicts above-average snowfall for much of the U.S. and colder-than-normal weather. There will be many days, it seems, where the best thing you’ll be able to do is sit by a fire and bask in the warmth of your dividend

This December the chances of a Santa Clause rally are looking thin, so it’s worth stuffing your portfolio with long-term stocks that will deliver in the new year and beyond. Picking a buy-and-hold stock can be a big responsibility because it means you’re willing to wait out some ups and downs along the way. That’s
It’s been one year since the United States Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which, among other things, promoted the use of clean energy sources like solar panels. The bill pumped millions of dollars into solar farms, electric vehicle production, and other such projects. At the same time, it offered consumers discounts for installing solar
When many investors often think of growth stocks, it’s the mega-cap tech giants that dominate the discussion. That’s for good reason. Many top tech stocks have outperformed the market for a long time. So, investors are loading up on market cap weighted index funds to capture these returns. However, plenty of high-growth opportunities extend beyond
If you believe in the power of seasonal trends, the concept of The January Effect stocks might pique your interest. Fundamentally, the hypothesis suggests that at the beginning of the year, equities feature a tendency to rise more than in any other month.

If the first rule in the film “Fight Club” is to not talk about fight club, then the same rule applies to penny stocks with potential: you do not talk about these penny stocks with upside. To clarify, the ideas present tremendous risks. You could see massive rewards but if we’re being completely honest, you’re
This holiday season, instead of the types of gifts you would normally give to your grandchildren, you may instead want to think of stocks to buy for your grandchildren. Doing so could end up being the gift that keeps on giving, in more ways than one. For starters, gifting your grandchildren stocks can be a
The hotel and hospitality industry took a serious beating during the Covid-19 pandemic. U.S. hotel market valuations dropped from $222.26 billion in 2019 to a measly $127 and $171.1 billion. Hotel rooms worldwide struggled to occupy even half of their rooms, and hospitality job demands were at an all-time low. Thankfully, that’s mostly behind us
In many, if not most cases, you want to avoid betting on the same horse, which makes the concept of hidden-gem stocks quite compelling. Generally, the equities sector features at least moderate efficiency, meaning that security has absorbed the collective weight of all publicly available information. So, that leaves little room for the target stock
To be quite blunt about the present economic backdrop, you don’t need many excuses to seriously consider strong-buy dividend stocks. By that, I’m referring to public companies that provide passive income while also benefiting from the top rating possible among covering analysts. Fundamentally, dividend players should represent a key portion of your portfolio regardless of
Not every investor wants to search for the next million-maker stock. While these types of stocks can generate significant returns, they also have more risk. Blue-chip stocks allow investors to enter positions with less risk, and these stocks can still outperform the market. Blue-chip stocks are reliable companies that have good financials and a few
