Stocks to buy

Editor’s note: “Buy the Dip in a Down Market for Big Returns” was previously published in February 2023. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available. Feb. 21, 2023 was an awful day for stocks. And with the market down, investors get fearful. The S&P 500 fell 2%, marking one of

Just because we’re in a bear market, doesn’t mean you can’t score huge profits from buying stocks.  You just have to find the right stocks to buy…  Like one AI startup by the name of Symbotic (SYM). Most investors have never heard of this stock. On the popular finance commentary site Stocktwits, Symbotic stock has

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock stands to benefit immensely from the ongoing AI race. Shares are up 89% since the start of the year. And the momentum is not slowing. The semiconductor company makes innovative graphics processing units for various applications. Nvidia’s GPUs are particularly well-suited for AI as they can handle large amounts of data in

How much risk can you tolerate? If the answer is “a lot,” then I invite you to take a second look at online car retailer Carvana (NYSE:CVNA). Sure, the company has serious problems, but the CVNA stock price seems to already reflect Carvana’s financial issues. Besides, to Carvana’s credit, the company poses a threat to traditional,

Lithium has been among the hottest commodities as we transition to a post-pandemic world. The price for a metric ton of lithium (2205lb.) was worth ~$6,000 back in August 2020, which climbed well north of $93,000 at its peak in November 2021 if you adjust for currency changes. China’s lockdown did nothing to lower those

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock is among the year’s strongest performers. The stock is up almost 132% during the last six months, an astounding return by all measures. The momentum in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry shows no signs of decelerating as the race to develop advanced technologies intensifies. As Nvidia works with most companies active in

Biotech stock fortunes hinge upon potential, progress, and the ultimate realization of drugs and devices that treat diseases. Stringent regulatory processes and long development times result in substantial costs. Those costs are subsidized on the back end upon commercial success, often leading to extremely high sales. Investing in biotech stocks is often about identifying the next

As an investor, it is essential to have a diverse range of stocks within a portfolio. Penny stocks may not make up most of someone’s holdings, but they are a crucial investment addition. They are prone to massive volatility swings from news events, downgrades and upgrades, product approval, and earnings. But penny stocks with solid

While 2022 represented the year that saw inflation spike higher, the subsequent monetary tightening actions by the Federal Reserve cooled demand for the best stocks for inflation. However, a surprise threat from abroad – namely, the oil production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-member oil-producing nations – risk sending

With rising economic concerns, investors may want to consider gold stocks, particularly as it seems the smart money is loading up on the yellow metal. Most notably, in my opinion, unusual stock options volume indicators have been picking up bullishly aberrant trades for gold-related call options. In other words, the big players are placing massive

Thanks to the surprise production cuts from the alliance between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-member oil-producing nations — known as OPEC+ — oil stocks to buy suddenly got extremely compelling. Further, a key question sprouted regarding future monetary policy. Yes, the Federal Reserve now has the motivation to raise interest

With fears rising regarding a hard landing for the economy, investors may want to consider safe stocks to buy. Specifically, during the week ending March 22, Yahoo Finance reported that depositors drained $126 billion from U.S. banks. Unlike prior such transactions, this time around, the outflow originated from the nation’s largest institutions. Put another way,

Penny stocks to buy have been the talk of the town in recent weeks as cyclical assets have started to make a comeback this year. Penny stocks tend to perform poorly during market downturns. The sell-off that began in late 2021 and the ensuing bear market in 2022 were not kind to penny stocks, as

Inflation concerns and continuous interest rate hikes have left investors worried and anxious. The Federal Reserve has been raising the federal funds rate for many months now. In March it raised the interest rate by 0.25%, which was its ninth consecutive increase. Rising interest rates can be challenging but smart investors know where to park

With a yield of 5%, Certificate of Deposits (CODs) are some of the safest investments to consider. However, many times, you can do far better than 5% with higher-yielding income stocks, such as: CALM Cal-Maine Foods $56.77 PBR Petrobras $10.90 SQM Sociedad Química $74.26 Income Stocks: Cal-Maine Foods (CALM) Source: Epic Cure / Shutterstock Cal-Maine

It was always in the plan that SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) would become a bank. Banks can collect deposits and make loans directly. So it was a red letter day last year when SoFi won its national banking charter, after buying a small California bank called Golden Pacific. But that success has yet to benefit SOFI stock shareholders.

Many investors believe a recession is imminent. Indeed, there are many reasons for such a view, which makes searching for the best stocks to buy in this environment difficult. Inflation is high, interest rates are on the rise, geopolitical concerns remain and the yield curve is steeply inverted. The last factor, yield curve inversion, is

So far, 2023 has been great year for growth stocks. For one, it seems that the Federal Reserve’s rate hiking campaign is approaching its limits. Two, the banking system has started to stumble amid sharply higher interest rates. While this has been rough for bank investors, we’re now seeing a rotation out of financials and back into

And many regional banks still trade for fractions of their pre-March levels. Shares of First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) — which once changed hands at $120 apiece — are now available for

We all dream of retiring with a steady income and financial security. Discovering passive income streams is one of the ideal outcomes for those heading into, or already in, retirement.  Indeed, the flexibility self-created monthly or quarterly income provides is precious. Who knows how long social security benefits will remain funded? We’re now nearing a
