Healthcare technology, also known as HealthTech, refers to any technology developed to improve the healthcare system. It encompasses everything from robotic-assisted surgery to telemedicine and Software. Notably, these technologies have been shown to reduce costs across the healthcare system. Indeed, most

By now, many of you have heard of President Biden’s EV Acceleration Challenge. That’s the initiative’s name, with a goal of 50% of all new vehicle sales being electric by 2030. In 2022, EVs accounted for about 5% of all automobile sales.  A 10x jump in seven years seems unrealistic. But even if the administration only bumps that

In March, I published a piece on the best cloud computing exchange-traded funds (ETFs). For this article, I’m discussing the top cloud computing stocks for 2023. As I often like to do, I scour ETFs to develop stock ideas. In my previous piece, the funds I selected were the First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (NASDAQ:SKYY),

There were two major reasons for a deep correction in growth stocks in 2022.

If you watched stocks yesterday, you would think the bear market was back in full force.  But today, you’d think a new bull market is emerging.  This is nothing new. If you feel like this market has been throwing you for a loop, you are not alone.  In January, stocks soared because inflation collapsed. And

The recent Bitcoin (BTC-USD) might have cooled down, with the price dropping well below $30,000. But I believe this rally is unlikely to be the last of it for BTC — conditions seem perfect for another rally in the near future, which could be hugely beneficial for crypto stocks. First, the Bitcoin halving event in

The Schwab US Divided Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHD) offers a basket of the best dividend stocks for investors.

These are the kinds of battery stocks

Education is quickly changing with the times. Traditional classroom methods aren’t as popular as they once were, simply because technology opens new possibilities. EdTech stocks combine computer technology and current educational practices, shifting the traditional learning paradigm we take for granted. In theory, EdTech stocks provide more-accessible and affordable education to all. Such a pursuit

By now, we’re all well aware of the world’s desire to go green, which could greatly benefit green energy stocks. The U.S. wants to cut emissions by up to 52%. The European Union says it aims to cut emissions by up to 55%. China says it will stop releasing CO2 in the next 40 years. To

Rate hike sensitive stocks have had a tough time recently, but once those hikes end, stand back and watch these names fly.

Electric vehicle (EV) stocks have proven profitable for investors, providing multibagger returns. As transportation continues to move in a more environmentally friendly direction, investors can continue to capitalize on opportunities not only in EV makers, but in EV charging stocks as well. While EV manufacturers often hog the spotlight, the EV charging industry is a

Portfolio manager Andrew Graham appeared in CNBC’s “Ask an Advisor” op-ed segment in mid-April. The founder and managing partner of Jackson Square Capital provided investors with a clue as to where they should look for AI opportunities: [T]he safer bets could be on the companies that will help make [artificial intelligence] a reality, regardless of

Sooner or later, investors will stop fearing the “phantom recession,” i.e. the recession that really doesn’t exist except in many economists’ imaginations. At that point, many growth stocks should come soaring back. The latest evidence supporting my “phantom recession” theory came last week, when S&P reported that the U.S. private sector Purchasing Managers’ Index for April came

The global agritech market was estimated to be worth $19.5 billion in 2021, according to research consulting firm Spherical Insights.

Not a sector for the faint of heart, investors seeking to turbo-boost their portfolios may consider 3D printing stocks. To be sure, the underlying industry doesn’t have a sterling record. In the past, 3D printing investing led to sharp losses in part because of breaking parts and unexpected expenses. However, now that the additive manufacturing

AI investing has been one of the year’s most dominant themes. All with some of the top tech firms looking into AI as a way to boost growth, reduce costs and improve product offerings.  This is not a flash-in-the-pan technology. Not by any stretch.
