Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) just may be one of the most controversial tech stocks in the world, founded by Peter Thiel in 2003. However, in 2020, the company went public in shining a light on many of its previously secretive operations. Palantir and its data analysis technology has been connected to Donald Trump, Cambridge Analytica, and the tracking

My latest gallery of stocks to buy are investments that investors might want to consider holding for years to come. However, there’s a catch. I won’t necessarily be suggesting stocks like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) or Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). But don’t be alarmed. All seven names are excellent businesses. Let me explain.

Zomedica (NYSEAMERICAN:ZOM) has had a string of victories in recent weeks. First, it announced on Oct. 1 that it would acquire PulseVet for $71 million. Then three days later, it announced that it had hired a President with significant medical devices experience to replace current CEO Robert Cohen when he retires at the end of

Paysafe (NYSE:PSFE) has been struggling since closing outs its special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) deal. PSFE stock has shed more than 40% of its value since completing the merger with Foley Trasimene Acquisition II in late March of this year.

Last year when the novel coronavirus pandemic became a harsh reality within our borders, most everyone had a fundamental concern: avoiding COVID-19 and thereby becoming a statistic.

Stocks under $20 are appealing to investors looking for inexpensive equities with plenty of upside. This is similar to what investors look for in penny stocks as well. And indeed, many stocks under $20 are technically also penny stocks. This article won’t include them, though. And I want to make a distinction here. Because these

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) is a company that provides CDN (content delivery network), web infrastructure and online security services. When the pandemic hit in 2020, the company was in the perfect position to pick up a lot of business. Online shopping ramped up while remote work and learning suddenly became a necessity. Given the rapid growth in

Toast (NYSE:TOST) went public on September 22 at $40 a share. On its first day of trading, TOST gained more than 56%. There’s no question this Boston-based restaurant software platform had a successful IPO. So far in 2021, 328 IPOs have occurred as of October 15, 96.4% more than at the same time in 2020.

Even though Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has a $2.275 trillion market cap, its massive free cash flow (FCF) could push its value even higher. In fact, my calculations show that MSFT stock could trade between 12.6% to 27% higher. Based on its Oct. 14 closing price of $302.75, that puts its value between $340.90 and $384.80 per

On July 30 I wrote that Facebook was likely worth $517 per share, or 44% higher than its price at the time. That was when FB stock was at $358.32 per share. Since then, it has tumbled to just $328.53 as of Oct. 14. I still feel that it is worth my original price, and

In any other time period, those who adopted a contrarian view to making expensive acquisitions — such as a new or used car — amid a heightened retail environment would be correct: just exercise patience and prices will come down. While sensible, it’s turning out to be the wrong advice. As Consumer Affairs reported, used

Ready to charge up your electric vehicle stock holdings with a truly unique company?

Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) reported a blowout Q2 on Aug. 12. This may not be apparent at first since the travel booking company’s net income loss was $68 million on $1.335 million in sales. But its free cash flow results were simply amazing. As a result, I estimate that ABNB stock could be worth as much as

With its drop-off in price since last month’s short-squeeze rally, Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG) may look to many like a “flavor of the month” penny stock.
