A woman shops in a supermarket as rising inflation affects consumer prices in Los Angeles, California, June 13, 2022. Lucy Nicholson | Reuters The pace of consumer inflation is expected to have fallen slightly in December from the prior month because of a sharp drop in gasoline and energy prices, but the annual rate is
Last year was terrible for the stock market overall, but the energy sector actually performed quite well. Indeed, it was the only segment in the S&P 500 that rose in 2022. While the S&P 500 lost 19.44% of its value in 2022, energy stocks shot up a massive 59%. As a result, I think that these
Last week, I laid out the reasons why the stock market will boom in 2023. They were varied. Inflation appears to be collapsing. The Fed is going to stop hiking rates. Stock valuations have fully reset to historical norms. The economy will avert a deep recession. Sentiment and positioning are peak bearish. So on and
While it has not produced the big gains seen among other sectors such as energy, healthcare has been a quiet outperformer over the past year. The S&P 500 Healthcare Index is essentially flat over the past 12 months. While that might not sound great, it is a lot better than the 16% decline of the

Investors who want to build a portfolio’s value over time will seek quality companies. Those stocks to buy have thriving businesses with proven returns on their investments.

It’s not every day that I go full-on bullish with a penny stock. Yet, I’m sending a positive signal today on California-headquartered electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN). The highly anticipated production of the Mullen Five vehicle, as well as the upcoming distribution of Mullen’s preferred shares, should motivate risk-tolerant traders to take a long

Investing in telecom stocks can be a great way to support your portfolio, as it offers stability and guarantees that investments are safe. Their customer relationships make the best telecom stocks stand out, giving them an edge over their competitors in the market. Additionally, these companies tend to have high dividend payment rates, giving investors
In a bull market, the rally in stocks is broad-based. Even fundamentally weaker stocks trend higher in sync with market sentiments. However, when there are multiple macroeconomic headwinds, it’s unlikely that the bull market will be back in 2023. Having said that, I believe that it’s a year of careful stock selection. Undervalued blue-chip and
In 2022, I was able to greatly reduce my stock portfolio’s losses by shorting several U.S. equities.

For example, I
Electric vehicle stocks across the board nosedived last year, and Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) was no exception. During 2022, LCID stock went from around $38.50 to around $6.83 per share. That’s a more than 82% decline in price. Recently, shares in the early-stage luxury EV maker have found support, at around $6 or $7 per share.
It’s funny, how Wall Street can have a very short attention span sometimes. When it comes to China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO), it’s fine to focus on the company’s most recent operational update. Yet, don’t be too hasty when trading NIO stock. The company still doesn’t have positive earnings, and Nio’s “prudent” warning about

In times of uncertainty, dividend-paying stocks can bring stability to investors’ portfolios. Of course, a dividend yield alone isn’t enough. The underlying business has to be solid and performing well for the company’s share price to have a chance of holding up. Further, with the dramatic increase in yields over the last 12 months, dividend
Transitions aren’t easy, but sometimes they’re necessary. Could a new leader help steer DocuSign (NASDAQ:DOCU) in the right direction, after the e-signature company seemingly lost its way? The answer remains to be seen, but it’s worthwhile to hold a handful of DOCU stock shares because DocuSign’s comeback could be 2023’s biggest story on Wall Street.
