What will be the next big thing in technology? Some futurists have made the case for quantum computing stocks. Quantum computing aims to reimagine the future of advanced calculations.

Possibly, that someone could be you. However,

With the earnings season looming, investors are scrambling to identify the best long-term stocks to buy.

While some may say it’s irresponsible to buy in an environment like this, I think it’s irresponsible

The U.S. stock market has been crashing all year long. In fact, year-to-date, the S&P 500 is down 23.3% through its first 184 trading days of the year. That makes 2022 the fourth-worst year in the stock market’s history. Against that backdrop, we’re all hoping things get better. Well… guess what? They will – and

Investors, including those who own green energy stocks, have myriad reasons to be bearish currently. Inflation remains high, with the year-over-year CPI registering 8.3% in August. The Fed responded as expected, raising interest rates by 0.75 percentage points, or 75 basis points, on Sept. 21.  That rate increase, the central bank’s third straight 75 basis-point

It’s up for debate whether the overall stock market has hit a bottom, but many stocks have clearly become  oversold. That’s the case for many unknown and little-known stocks. Consequently, there are now plenty of unknown stocks to invest in that can climb tremendously. These types of stocks, which are mostly small-cap and micro-cap names,

Amid the economic chaos of 2022, investors have all but forgotten about VR and the once-promising metaverse. Since late 2021, Google search interest in the metaverse has collapsed by 88%. And stocks like Roblox (RBLX) and Meta (META) have been absolutely crushed. But maybe investors shouldn’t have forgotten about the metaverse. Maybe there’s something to

And I fully expect consumers to interact with VR not with headsets, but with immersive experiences outside of the hardware currently on the market. Think of the iPhone and how it made smartphones ubiquitous – it was convenient. In

Amid all the market chaos, I’m busy doing one thing: looking for generational investment opportunities. Why? Because history shows that the best time to invest in emerging technological megatrends is when the markets are crashing. That’s exactly what they’re doing in 2022! The best time to invest in computer stocks? After the flash crash of
