Stocks to buy

Penny stocks are Wall Street’s version of the discount dollar store. Most of the stuff you find is absolute junk, let’s be brutally honest here. However, that’s not 100% of the case. Allow me a small personal example. I used to buy can openers from major retailers but they would typically break apart quickly. So,

In the stock market, identifying potential millionaire-making stocks can lead to a situation like finding needles in a haystack. However, under ongoing volatility, three companies have emerged as prime contenders for high returns. Beyond names, these companies hold a strategic edge, rapid growth capabilities, and solid market strategies. The first one stands at the edge

While it’s tempting to jump on a company like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), at some point, it won’t match expectations, which brings us to a discussion about underappreciated tech stocks. They’re nowhere near as enticing as NVDA. However, they could offer superior returns. That might sound like an arrogant if not irrational proposition. But the thing is,

While stock splits don’t necessarily change the valuation of a company’s stock. They do offer some benefits. Namely, they can make a stock more affordable for retail investors. In that way, companies can draw in new shareholders and capital when they split their stock. For existing shareholders, stock splits increase their share count without them

The metaverse has been a costly disaster so far. But don’t write the market or the top metaverse stocks off just yet.  For one, despite a $46.5 billion loss on the metaverse, Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg isn’t throwing in the towel. Earlier this year, he told The Verge, “I don’t know how to more unequivocally state

The world of consumer discretionary stocks can be tricky. It is full of highly cyclical businesses that can take a sudden turn in either direction. Often when you least expect it. This is why it is of utmost importance to pick companies that expose you to both the cyclical nature of a discretionary name, and

Investing in dividend stocks is one method used to build a robust stock portfolio. It allows for added income for a particular security on top of its underlying stock performance, which makes it a very enticing option. Companies in various industries distribute dividends, but some industries supply investors with dividend stocks that offer a larger

Some fintech disruptors in the stock market are looking to disrupt the future of finance. These companies are leveraging cutting-edge technology to revolutionize how individuals invest, trade, and manage their finances. By harnessing artificial intelligence, machine learning algorithms, and more, they should also be at the front of investors’ minds. Investing in these companies not

Thestart of February saw a bit of a deja vu for regional bank stocks, with New York Community Bank (NYSE:NYCB) shares crashing. Capital One (NYSE:COF) also announced plans to merge with Discover Financials (NYSE:DFS), underscoring the continued industry consolidation. However, periods of volatility often create opportunities. Following the acquisition, speculation of further deals involving other

The allure of risk-averse stocks remains as pronounced as ever, given the current headwinds facing the stock market. This volatile environment and economic indicators clouded by uncertainty pave the way for an investment strategy rooted in caution yet poised for growth. Drawing insights from the GuruFocus Screener, I have handpicked a collection of stocks with

Artificial intelligence (AI) is still the hottest trend in 2024. After capturing investor imagination last year and sending almost every AI-adjacent stock skyward, the market may be ready to take a closer look at individual company potential.  For example, shares of C3.ai (NYSE:AI) are down 40% from their 52-week high as the AI software platform

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) blew through the trillion-dollar valuation threshold after reporting its best-ever quarterly results. Yet it’s not the first time the social media influencer has attained a $1 trillion market capitalization. This will have big implications for META stock holders. Meta joined the elite club back in 2021 but that was as good as

It seems like forever ago, but it’s only been a year or two since Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was widely ridiculed on social media for losing market share to its chipmaker rivals. The future looks more promising for Intel today, however. While we’re not currently prepared to give INTC stock an outright “A” grade, we’ll give it a

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) clearly capitalized on the generative AI growth trend during 2023. However, make no mistake, this was anything but a “one and done” event that boosted MSFT stock. Based on the latest headlines, the “Magnificent Seven” component remains poised to level up on last year’s success. This points to Microsoft continuing to deliver top

While analyst sentiment isn’t the “be all, end all” of due diligence, retail traders should pay attention when consensus picks out a promising stock. Contrarian trades, or going against analyst forecasts, are sometimes lucrative when given enough conviction and research. Still, riding momentum driven by strong ratings of promising stocks is one of the best

While conservative plays can move you up the gridiron, sometimes you need the long ball, which is exactly the situation speculative stocks to buy specializes in. No, you’re not going to bet your lifesavings on these ideas. And no, you shouldn’t expect a smooth ride. However, what you can expect is the possibility of significant

As excitement builds, U.S. federal agencies are looking to revise cannabis regulations. Support for cannabis legalization has surged to unprecedented levels, which bodes incredibly well for cannabis stocks. A Gallup survey in November last year revealed that a staggering 70% of Americans advocate for cannabis legalization, marking a historic high in public sentiment. This sentiment

Following another shaky day in the market, investors may want to consider cash cow dividend stocks. They’re not sexy and they probably won’t make you rich. However, they get the job done when faced with challenging circumstances. For football fans, cash cow dividend stocks symbolize the jumbo package of Wall Street. Basically, you grab your

While crowd wisdom has its place, when it comes to contrarian stocks, going against the grain could be profitable. One example just materialized recently. Over the last several days, investors have been following lunar services provider Intuitive Machines (NASDAQ:LUNR) with interest. Poised to make history with its Nova-C lander touching down on the surface of

The global fight against climate change has fueled a surge in investor interest towards green energy stocks. Companies operating in the renewable energy sector, like wind, solar, hydrogen, electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage continue to attract increased attention.  Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been a big proponent of this interest, as the company has far outpaced
