Last week, Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) meteoric rise to new all-time highs shifted attention to crypto miner stocks as cryptocurrency inflows rose.

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn developed a reputation as a corporate raider in the 1980s but is better known today as a shareholder activist.

Most recently Icahn won seats on JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) board just days after
Crude oil recently hit a four-month high, with the International Energy Agency expecting a supply deficit through 2024. That view is based on the premise that OPEC maintains production cuts. However, this is not the only catalyst for crude oil. There will likely be multiple rate cuts in the next 12 to 18 months. Expansionary

The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), a fund largely composed of tech stocks, has soared 45% over the past year. And in some specific semiconductor and AI-related names, the gains have been parabolic. Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) has rocketed more than 1,000% over the past 12 months, to give one example. While the gains have
There are some sectors poised for gains that investors should keep on their radars. These sectors could grow as much as 20 times. Furthermore, I believe that this is a conservative estimate based on analyst projections. I think that these sectors are relatively untapped. Some are more well-known and the growth story is obvious. While
Dividends that provide a passive source of revenue for investors often seem great on the surface. Stocks with high yields can sometimes indicate a company’s instability or solely serve the purpose of attracting investors without offering sustainable returns. The three stocks we’ll introduce in this article have very high dividends but shaky financials and past
The tech sector is up 12% year-to-date and a remarkable 48% over the past 12 months, powering the broader markets. Particularly, the semiconductor industry is growing, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) leading the charge; its stock is up around three-fourths this year. The best tech stocks are expected to maintain this momentum, according to Deloitte’s 2024 technology
If the electric vehicle (EV) boom is going to get off the ground, we need far more EV charging stations. In fact, as I noted on Feb. 12, “The U.S. has just under 130,000 publicly available charging ports at 50,401 charging stations, according to BlinkCharging.com.

Two weeks ago, I wrote how Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) sudden surge was a positive sign for other risky bets. Bitcoin prices are solely determined by what others will pay, and so rising prices is a clear sign of investor bullishness (i.e., greed). That’s why the five recommended stocks and cryptos from that issue have done so
You can always count on me to appreciate a good dividend stock. Whether it’s the reliable payout, the earnings performance or revenue growth, great dividend stocks are something to cherish. But be careful not to let some scary, dangerous dividend stocks invade your portfolio. As rewarding as a great dividend stock can be, dangerous dividend

Is enterprise artificial intelligence company C3.ai (NYSE:AI) the real deal, or just a speculative hype story? The answer, as usual, can be found in the financial data. Don’t dismiss AI stock as a bursting bubble, as C3.ai’s forecast-beating revenue growth is indisputable. Investors might find it frustrating that the C3.ai share price still hasn’t recovered to $100. That’s a
Earlier this year, interest in electric vehicle battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) spiked to a level not seen in a long time. QS stock soared – but those gains are completely gone now. All that’s left is the distant memory of more hopeful times for QuantumScape’s downtrodden investors. QuantumScape is still busy working on a potentially
Stock investing is a game of knowing when to buy winners and when to sell losers. In theory it’s easy, in practice it is often much more difficult. Knowing when to dump risky stocks to sell is not easy. Markets are fickle and much of what makes a given stock rise or fall is subjective
Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is well-positioned to benefit from the proliferation of localized artificial intelligence, the increased digitalization of automobiles, and the rapidly increasing sales of Samsung smartphones. Over the longer term, QCOM stock could also get a considerable boost from Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) renewal of its modem deal with the chip maker. Finally, Qualcomm recently reported encouraging
Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) may not be a household name, but it’s quickly become one of the most popular AI stocks among investors.
