The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been around since 1885. The index contains 30 stocks and has regularly added and removed holdings from the list. An index with 30 stocks has more concentration than indices like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100, which spread their assets across more holdings. However, some Dow stocks to buy are better than others. Investors must

Healthcare stocks certainly haven’t set the world on fire lately. The S&P Health Care Index is up 3% so far in 2024 compared to an 8% gain in the benchmark S&P 500.

Undoubtedly, it’s virtually impossible to tell exactly which pills, shots and treatments within a firm’s pipeline will eventually evolve into cash flows, let alone blockbuster cash cows.

Not every stock crashes with the rest of the market. Some corporations offer high margins of safety and can hold firmly during bad times. Putting some of your capital in these investments can reduce your portfolio’s losses from peak to trough.  However, a small number of stocks can actually perform well when the market crashes. It’s harder to find

While a weakening economy and a subsequent dip in the stock market are unfortunate, they are inevitabilities.

Finding firms with strong growth potential is essential for healthcare investors looking for large profits. Three exceptional firms have surfaced as strong healthcare stocks.

Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) Gemini AI has once again been overtaken by other models, but it remains one of the best choices out there for AI stock predictions.

It’s not all fun and games when it comes to the market’s top spatial computing (or metaverse) stocks. Undoubtedly, we’ve seen some pretty capable mixed-reality headsets launching in recent years. And with the launch of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Vision Pro, it seems like mixed reality isn’t all too far off from making its mark on the

Once a Wall Street darling, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) is now considered a left-behind as the market obsesses over Magnificent Seven stocks. Nowadays, positive earnings results aren’t enough to get investors enthused about Netflix stock. Yet, today you can be a leader instead of a follower. I invite you to contravene the crowd, embrace change and build a

The Federal Reserve is not purposefully trying to crash the economy, but it might end up doing so anyway. Because out-of-hand government spending reignited inflation’s rise, the Fed is no longer eager to cut sky-high interest rates. It’s even being whispered the central bank could even raise rates again. Threading the needle between interest rates,

UBS says investors should forget about the Magnificent Seven and look across the Atlantic to 18 European stocks they’ve highlighted that account for approximately 25% of the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, the exact weighting as the Mag 7 when initially conceived in 2023.  At least with the Mag 18, you have 18 choices rather than

Few investment strategies have performed as well for as long as dividend investing. Numerous studies show that buying stocks that have initiated a dividend and then increased it over time beat all other stocks on the market. That’s why Dividend Aristocrat stocks are the cream of the crop. To become dividend royalty, companies need to

Enter

While I have written quite a few articles lately on shifting some of your gains into defensive stocks and safe dividend stocks, I still think that it is very important to keep some potential multibagger growth stocks in your portfolio. No one truly knows where the market is headed. We may even see the rally

Corrections and crashes test the resolve of investors who claim to be in it for the long haul. Some investors flee from the stock market upon any distress, while others buckle down and wait for the storm to pass. Storms will come for any investor, but there are ways to minimize the damage. Some investments are built to endure
