These six consumer brand companies make the best buy and hold stocks to hold during an upcoming recession. This is due to their long-term value and quality earnings. As a result, investors in these stocks have a good chance of limiting the damage to their portfolios due to a recession. Moreover, once the market turns

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been on a roll over the past week, with TSLA stock gaining 16% through May 31. The electric vehicle (EV) maker’s fanatical retail investors are a big reason for the gains.  According to Bloomberg, retail investors bought more Tesla stock in May than in any month since August 2020. As of May

GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock is once again proving its detractors wrong. I’ve certainly been among those detractors. And I’ve been proven inaccurate in judging GameStop’s trajectory. Once its run seems to have reached an end, it surges back to life. Its volatility is unpredictable.  That’s positive news for retail investors as the company once again springs

I’ve reason to believe that the latest surge in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) stock is premature as the S&P 500 is still overvalued. It seemed as though we were headed for a bear market, but the S&P 500 slammed the brakes just as we were about to touch a 20% drawdown. Many

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported stellar revenue growth on May 25 for the quarter ending May 1. Revenue came in at $8.29 billion, up 46% from a year ago, and up 8% from the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2021.

B.I.G. Buy. Innovate. Grow. That’s the declared strategy of Pennsylvania-based Vinco Ventures Inc (NASDAQ:BBIG). Unfortunately for shareholders, “BIG” does not describe BBIG stock’s performance in 2022. There have been highlights including a mid-January run that saw shares spike 122% in less than a week. However, the overall trend has been down. In the most recent

The market is beginning to turn the corner after a very uninspiring performance in most of the first half. Logic dictates that the rebound will likely be led by beaten-down sectors and stocks. On that count, pharma and biotech stocks are ideal candidates for a stronger recovery, given their underperformance relative to the broader market

I’ve long argued that Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) stock remains the best choice equity investment in solid-state battery technology. That remains true. Investors have to understand that the ride will be bumpy and most do. As with any stock, fundamentals are of paramount importance.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) shares have made a nice rally of nearly 10% in the past five days, outperforming the Nasdaq, which gained nearly 2% for the same period. The news behind this rally is the upcoming 20-for-1 stock split that will alter the stock price. Investors are very excited for this. Is this excitement justified? Is

Since last writing about it in early May, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock has performed largely how I expect it to perform. That is, AMC stock has continued to slide down in price. It may not be yet down to a level that’s in line with the movie theater chain’s underlying fundamentals. However, it’s on the

Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM) stock bounced higher after earnings beat estimates. It may have taken the rest of the tech sector with it. Zoom said it earned nearly $114 million and made 37 cents per share on revenue of $1.07 billion for the quarter ending in April, the first of its 2023 fiscal year. It projects

While the broader market and stocks in several major sectors, like tech, are in the red due to macro headwinds, energy stocks have been rallying this year.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) opened Amazon Style on May 25 in Los Angeles. It is the e-commerce giant’s first physical clothing store.

I like watching what Cathie Wood does with her portfolios. And there are a few reasons why. So, for me, it’s interesting to see how she’s handling the downturn of Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock this year. Wood famously favors stocks that are disruptive innovators — companies that provide new ways to solve problems by way

Disney (DIS) missed revenue and earnings expectations in the recent quarter.
