When uncertainty hits the markets, investors should always consider the names providing relative strength. In recent weeks, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has been a market leader and was one of the first names to rebound from last Monday’s sudden crash. As of the market close on August 13th, Meta’s stock is currently trading at $528.54 and

Over the past few weeks, the stock market has whipsawed between crashing and soaring. It’s been quite a rollercoaster ride for investors. Yet, through it all, we have remained resolutely bullish.  And it all has to do with earnings. Why? Well, because above all else, earnings matter the most when it comes to a stock’s

When it comes to indices that track the performance of small-cap companies in the U.S., the Russell 2000, a subset of the larger Russell 3000, comes to mind. This index comprises 2000 small-cap companies listed in the United States. Recent market selloffs affected large market cap stocks significantly. Small market cap stocks slipped their fair

Just days ago, Alphabet (GOOGL) made one of the AI Boom’s biggest announcements yet. The tech titan’s self-driving unit, Waymo, reported that it plans to start testing its fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) on freeways in the San Francisco Bay Area – with no human safety driver present.  Now, many of you may be underwhelmed by

Everything looked like it was coming undone last week. As recession fears gripped the market, the S&P 500 tumbled 3% in a single day. The Nasdaq 100 lost more than 1,000 points at one point, its worst loss ever, before regaining some of the lost ground. Although the situation turned markedly better by Tuesday and

Finding millionaire-next-door stocks can be extremely exciting for investors who aspire to retire comfortably. However, the reality is that very few investors have the strategic foresight or the patience to accomplish such a dream.  The truth is that a majority of investors will be better off parking their hard earned cash in Exchange-Traded-Funds to avoid

It is starting to look like last week’s market meltdown was not the beginning of a broad-based collapse. Although fear of a U.S. recession, concern over the melt-up in AI-powered tech stocks and the unwinding of the yen carry trade all contributed to the market turmoil, stocks quickly rebounded and the S&P 500 closed out

There’s a tech wreck going on in the market right now. The Nasdaq Composite index that is mostly comprised of tech stocks is down 10% over the last month and officially in a correction. Many well-known and formerly high-flying tech names have seen their share price fall 30% or more since the beginning of July.

The concept of augmented reality (AR) has overtaken virtual reality (VR) in much of the tech speculation sphere. That’s because the overall applications of augmented reality lend themselves more to day-to-day usage than VR’s mostly entertainment-focused sphere. For example, the most commonly touted sectors that AR could enhance are education, retail, healthcare and defense. With

In a new InvestorPlace presentation, “The Next Wave of Breakout Stocks,” host Chris Hurt admits he has been one of the unlucky ones. He admits to missing out on, among plenty of others, these breakout stocks: Energy drink maker Celsius (NASDAQ:CELH), which is up 1,400% AI GPU superstar Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), up 1,000% And robotics firm

The tech sector is filled with companies that have outperformed the S&P 500. In fact, more than a quarter of the S&P 500 consist of tech companies. The preference toward tech stocks is even more apparent in the Nasdaq 100. Part of that distribution is due to the outsized presence of the Magnificent Seven stocks.

Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft certainly present an intriguing opportunity for growth investors. The potential for these air taxis to completely transform urban mobility makes the various flying car stocks I’m going to discuss in this article worth considering. There are a number of keys to the success of the eVTOL sector over

Some of the best electric vehicle (EV) stocks seem to be running out of steam in August. Undoubtedly, the broader tech market sell-off has been quite harsh among EV plays, as fears of a recession could further soften demand for such big-ticket purchases. Though a harder-than-expected landing would surely weigh on demand for autos, there

Known for its luxurious EV models like its very own Lucid Air, Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) currently faces a mixed bag of analyst reviews.

With the next Federal Reserve decision looming, identifying stocks to buy before the next Fed decision is vital to optimizing portfolios. Learning a company’s fundamentals is also vital as it reveals its financial health, strategic initiatives, and market positioning.

While green energy initiatives represent one of the most relevant segments of the modern economy, harvesting the power potentiality is especially critical. That’s because traditional platforms of sustainable energy are intermittent: the sun only shines for so many hours and the wind doesn’t blow perpetually. Because of this reality, clean energy storage stocks may see

Lower interest rates stimulate the economy primarily by lowering lending rates. The stock market and interest rates have an inverse relationship whereby rising interest rates lead to falling share prices. That phenomenon was on display throughout 2022 and 2023. The opposite phenomenon also holds true whereby lower interest rates increase share prices. It looks like we
