It seems that the Federal Reserve might not come through with previously anticipated interest rate cuts. This, in turn, has the potential to greatly reduce the speculative juices in
The EV sector continues to undergo a period of extreme difficulty. EV sales growth is slowing, adoption rates are not as high as they once were, and global demand has weakened severely.

It’s been a month since Boeing (NYSE:BA) CEO Dave Calhoun announced that he would step down at the end of 2024. While his departure wasn’t termed a “firing,” there is no question Calhoun’s name would have been on a list, if there were one, of CEOs that need to be fired. The embattled company was

These companies have proven their strategic insight and perseverance in facing difficulties and market swings, making them appealing investments. The first has sharpened its emphasis on
I’d argue that investing in the Dow in April is a particularly smart move. Dow Jones stocks represent 30 of the most prominent U.S. firms. Stocks listed in the Dow tend to be more defensive than the Nasdaq and other indices. The reason that matters is that investors are currently seeking safety. Rate cut expectations
I have been down on Palantir stock (NASDAQ:PLTR) for some time. It is, at its heart, a government contractor. Calling it an AI stock doesn’t change that. Military contracting is a profitable but slow-growth business. Palantir brought almost 10% of last year’s $2.25 billion in revenue to the bottom line. The question is always whether
Finding stocks to buy in today’s relatively overvalued and volatile market isn’t as easy as it was when initial rate cuts dropped top stocks to bottom-barrel pricing. While many quickly point to tech stocks as the main wealth drivers in today’s economy, forward-thinking investors know to seek diversification across industries, geographic locations, size, scale, and
Investors circling newly public social media company Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) should hold off on taking a position in the company.Now that the hype surrounding Reddit’s initial public offering (IPO) has died down, Reddit stock has fallen substantially since its market debut in March. After peaking at $74.90 per share, the stock has dropped 45% to now
The rubber hit the road on April 15 as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) announced it was cutting more than 10% of its global headcount to reduce costs and increase productivity. “As we prepare the company for our next phase of growth, it is extremely important to look at every aspect of the company for cost reductions and
The electric vehicle (EV) has been continuously growing as we transition into sustainable energy and resources. Due to increased environmental awareness and consideration, consumers and governments are favoring EVs over traditional gas-fueled cars. As a result, this represents a high-growth potential market for EV producers. In 2023, the global sales for EVs surpassed 13.6 million,
Trade wars are always destructive. The current escalation in the chip wars will be no different. The Biden administration banned the use of equipment from China’s Huawei and ZTE over alleged national security concerns. Semiconductor stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) were prohibited from selling their high-end chips to China. Now Beijing is retaliating. It is barring
To borrow from an old Benjamin Graham/Warren Buffett concept, the market is a weighing machine in the long term. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) certainly has value as an exchange for popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC-USD). However, the market’s weighing machine is likely to send Coinbase stock lower as its valuation is too hefty right now. The market’s short-term voting
So far this month, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) shares have continued to hit new all-time lows. However, I’ll admit that a move to higher prices may be in the immediate future for Rivian stock. Mostly, because the ingredients are in place for shares in this fledgling EV upstart to experience a short-squeeze. Yet while the possibility
If the recent sell-off with artificial intelligence stocks has you thinking that this is a prime “buy the dip” opportunity, think again. What should be top of mind instead is what are the AI stocks to sell. There’s a good chance that the AI stock rout of April 19 was not an overreaction, but an

Immediate-term news, like the Bitcoin (BTC-USD) halving or the SEC’s approval of spot ETFs, is important, but that’s not the only think to consider before investing in Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:MARA). Instead, think about the long term and prepare to hold Marathon Digital stock throughout the ups and downs of the crypto market. Yes, we will discuss
As concerns about a global recession grow, it might be wise to consider divesting from certain Nasdaq stocks to sell. The Nasdaq is known for hosting a range of innovative tech companies. However, not all of these align with traditional market strengths. Specifically, some publicly traded companies on the exchange present a dual challenge: they
It’s an established point that blue-chip stocks are an essential part of the portfolio. The exposure to blue-chips can differ based on the risk-taking ability of an investor. Within the blue-chip portfolio, the following strategy seems to be the best. First, exposure to some evergreen blue-chip stocks with an investment horizon of five to ten
