The first lesson in investing is that returns are not guaranteed — especially in stocks. Companies constantly fluctuate in value as the wheel of the stock market turns, and daily trades come in by the millions. With so much chaos, predicting if a stock will increase by 3 or even 10 times might seem closer
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been among the most volatile EV stocks in the market. There’s no denying that. Of course, Tesla stock still holds a strong following from some, with the company largely seen as a stock with more upside than its EV peers, due to its impressive market share and historical growth metrics. Tesla, once
In the lead-up to earnings, Boeing (NYSE:BA) has been cruising at a level altitude. Boeing stock has stayed rangebound, barely straying from between $175 and $200 per share. Still, it’s very possible that the current performance of shares in this aerospace giant is merely the calm before storm. Turbulence may soon return for this stock.
It appears that after the recent rise in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), share prices may be coming back to earth. At the start of July, Tesla reported deliveries above analyst estimates, which led to over a 40% increase in the Tesla stock price within a week. However, this week’s earnings release showed profits below projections, causing the
High-yield dividend stocks can be complex to navigate. While dividend yields reduce investors’ risk when the price dips, they also require investors to take on potentially more risk. In general, the higher the dividend yield, the riskier the stock is. Besides the dividend yields, other metrics can be used to measure risk. One of these
Even after some recent correction, the S&P 500 index is not far from all-time highs. With the possibility of rate cuts, there is a reason to remain bullish on equities. However, I would prefer to be cautiously optimistic than very aggressive as an investor. In line with this view, it makes sense to sell overvalued
There’s a good-news, bad-news situation happening now with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). It’s getting a lot of coverage in the financial press, but it’s not positive coverage. Still, long-term shareholders should adopt a “This, too, shall pass” perspective and not panic-sell Microsoft stock. Microsoft isn’t to blame for the negative news, unless you fault them for relying
In recent weeks, investors started pouring significant money into small-cap stocks. The move came after years during which the Street shunned the names because it believed they were not attractive in an era of high interest rates. Now that the Federal Reserve looks poised to cut rates in September, small-cap stocks, many of which are
Shares of embattled theatre chain operator AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) are ticking in the green again following its announcement of debt restructuring. However, these fleeting gains do little to impact the bearish outlook for AMC stock, which is overshadowed by its declining underlying business. AMC stock remains as precarious as ever, potentially sending its shareholders into
Wall Street has rewarded certain growth stocks handsomely this year. I believe now may be an opportune time to buy some of these high-flyers, even after the recent tech selloff. Most of the stocks I’ll be discussing today are outside the tech sector. I think they have a great chance to continue their upward trajectory.
The pairing of artificial intelligence and growth-oriented companies has resulted in a new wave of high-potential AI growth stocks for investors to consider. These companies are currently smaller players in the broader tech industry that, through careful research and development, have made themselves valuable to larger companies. As a result, investors and consumers alike may
The financial technology or fintech sector looks promising this year. Fintech companies use technology to offer money management solutions. They try to make banking, investing, and borrowing easier, and their relevance has grown with technological advances. Several dividend-paying fintech stocks have emerged as strong industry players with solid upside momentum. The industry’s future looks bright, and a rate cut
For those hoping to retire young and wealthy, the dividend kings are an excellent class of assets to consider. They are a prestigious group of publicly traded stocks with a record of increasing their dividend payouts every year for the past 50 consecutive years or more. The list of dividend kings is exclusive. The most
Technology equities have largely had a good year in 2024. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has rallied nearly 20% on a year-to-date basis, and secular trends such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing technologies could send technology shares higher in the near term. Even the historical August slump probably will not be enough to stop the
Elections are tricky business and it’s important not to put too much emphasis on polls, especially polls before September. That said, it seems clear that Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has a less-complicated path to the White House. Basically, conservatives voted decisively for the man. Therefore, investors should at least consider stocks for
Before investing in Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock, it is essential to analyze varying viewpoints in order to soundly decide. Oracle is one of the major companies in the cloud computing and software for enterprise markets. The financial performance of Oracle has been good with strong revenues and earnings. It has also paid great attention to the
In April 2024, Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock touched 52-week lows of $8.30. With macroeconomic headwinds, intense competition and significant cash burn, the pessimism seemed to be justified. However, Rivian stock has doubled from these lows and currently trades at ~$16.30. It seems that the EV company is back from the dead and there are fundamental reasons
Well, that was a stunner (though perhaps not entirely unexpected). Over the weekend, President Joe Biden made the tough, but likely necessary decision to step down from his reelection bid. It’s why I’m looking at some of the stocks to sell on that news. There’s still plenty of time for the Democrats to mount an
When your reputation is in tatters, being able to pull your company up out of the ashes takes a Herculean effort. Certainlyit is not easy. As Warren Buffett once said, “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you will do things differently.” Some companies apparently never thought about
“The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game,” prominent investor Peter Lynch famously said regarding investing. This basically means that investors need to do a lot of digging and research in order to find quality stocks in which to invest their capital. Clearly, it’s not enough to follow the herd on Wall
