Stocks to buy

Until recently, Huadi International (NASDAQ:HUDI) stock was quite obscure. However, this traditional steel pipe and tube manufacturer is undergoing a major transition. Soon, HUDI stock could be an unexpected ESG (environmental, social and governance) investment for risk-tolerant financial traders. It’s no secret that renewable energy development is a priority for the Chinese government. Yet, curious

As the bear market came barreling through 2022, growth stocks and tech stocks took the brunt of the beating. However, one theme that stood strong was cybersecurity. As a result, that should have investors looking at cybersecurity stocks to buy. Let’s face the facts, though. Cybersecurity stocks also took a good beating, as they too

Investors watched electric vehicle (EV) stocks rise monumentally through the pandemic only to taper off as the realities facing the sector continue to take shape. Slump considered, it’s fair to conclude that electric vehicles are here to stay — as well as the cheap lithium stocks whose products are key to EV manufacturing.  In fact,

This might seem as the most inappropriate time to talk about crypto stocks. Investor confidence has plunged with the collapse of FTX (FTT-USD). Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has now consolidated well below the $20,000 level. This fact alone signals just how impactful the bankruptcy of FTX has been for the sector, triggering yet another leg downward for most

Rumble (NASDAQ:RUM) is a relatively new social media business, and one particular short-seller is betting that the company will fail. Does this mean it’s time to abandon RUM stock, though? Not necessarily, as there are risks involved but also growth potential because Rumble is strategically developing its content streaming platforms, Rumble and Locals. Rumble isn’t for

The electric vehicle industry has been a riches-to-rags story in 2022. Many EV stocks soared in 2021 on the expectation that the Biden administration would prioritize the electrification of the auto industry. That happened. But so did inflation. And that took the air out of the second EV bubble burst before it could really get

Value stocks are always a sensible class of equities to consider as an investment. It’s all about finding stocks that are believed to be trading below where they should be based on fundamental metrics. Identifying value is part science and part art.  The science requires calculating metrics that determine a given stock’s fundamentals. Basically, anything

Growth stocks to buy took quite a hit this year. That might deter investors from placing their bets on them for the long haul. However, growth stocks are tremendous investments for retirement, with the potential to generate massive returns. Making money becomes significantly easier if you have the nerve to invest and hold growth stocks

Yesterday was a record-setting day for the stock market. And if history is any guide, it marks the beginning of a big new bull market wherein you could mint a fortune over the next 12 months. Here’s the quick story. After October inflation numbers came in much lighter than expected, stocks soared yesterday the most

[Editor’s note: “Industry Catalyst Gives Desktop Metal Stock Enormous Potential” was previously published in February 2021. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] When it comes to 3D printing leader Desktop Metal (DM), it’s all about the Fourth Industrial Revolution. That is, the company is at the epicenter of a

To say the Covid-19 vaccination wave in 2021 moved the needle for Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) stock is an understatement. Revenue nearly doubled thanks to its vaccine candidate (Comirnaty), which the pharma firm co-developed with BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX). PFE stock performed strongly as well during this timeframe. So far in 2022, however, Pfizer’s performance has been far less

Once considered to be a cash cow for investors, finding semiconductor stocks to buy and hold can be daunting these days. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX), an exchange traded fund that holds 30 leading semiconductor stocks, is down more than 35% so far this year as a chip shortage continues to stress the industry. But if you’re a

No-brainer battery stocks are a great choice for investors looking to cash in on the growing trends toward electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. These companies are leading the way in developing cutting-edge technologies, and things are looking good for their continued success in the future. Over the past few years, we have seen a

The 2022 midterm elections are all over except for the counting. Several key states are still tabulating their votes, but it does seem likely that the Republican Party will win back control of, at least, the House of Representatives. That means the country will have a divided government, which is historically good news for stocks.

The Nasdaq has a reputation for being the home of aggressive hypergrowth companies — firms that can go up five- or tenfold in a year and sometimes crash just as quickly. Most investors probably wouldn’t imagine creating a buy-and-hold forever portfolio filled with Nasdaq stocks. However, the Nasdaq actually offers a lot of variety. While

Solar stocks received a big boost recently from the robust third-quarter financial results of two major players in the sector: solar inverter maker Enphase (NASDAQ:ENPH) and Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN), both of which specialize in selling solar panels to U.S. homeowners. Enphase’s results showed that the makers of solar components other than panels are thriving in the current environment, while Sunrun’s

If you’re a grandparent — or if you aspire to be one, at some point — one of the best gifts you can give your youngest family members is a firm financial foundation. While part of that could be an inheritance, it’s also important to teach the little tykes how grandma and grandpa managed to

There has been a flurry of economic news, both good and bad, which has rattled most investors. Indeed, for many, it may seem impossible to dissect this ever-changing news flow while actively managing a portfolio based on any potential implications. Accordingly, I’m of the view that adopting a buy-and-hold strategy focused on quality blue-chip growth

During the current earnings season, a few of the companies whose stocks I own delivered great third-quarter results. These results, along with their other achievements, shows that the firms’ technologies are being widely-embraced by end users. Consequently, I believe that these names are destined to become hypergrowth stocks relatively soon. Also importantly, all three of

Last year was a blockbuster when it comes to the returns growth stocks were able to generate. However, this year has proven to be much more challenging, erasing most of the gains investors saw during 2021. Dozens of growth stocks have plunged by more than 50%. Accordingly, after two widely-contrasting years, what can investors expect in 2023?
