April was forgettable, to say the least, for the stock market. Not only was it the worst month of the year, but it was also the worst month since February 2023.

Investing in uranium and nuclear stocks makes a lot of sense to me from a very long-term perspective. Why?

The technology industry has been booming, especially over the last year. This is primarily due to the increased attention surrounding generative artificial intelligence (AI) and similar technologies. The production of semiconductors is crucial to the development of innovative technologies.

That’s because political
The Chinese economy and many Chinese companies have struggled on a general scale over the last few years. The slowdown was primarily due to tightening government regulations and property pricing halting the expected recovery after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted in 2023. While these macroeconomic conditions create uncertainty and scare away many investors, they offer a
Markets seem to have their mojo back to start the month of May. After suffering a downturn in April, equities are once again rallying on news of strong corporate earnings. Also, the indices have hopes that the U.S. Federal Reserve still plans to lower interest rates at some point this year. However, May is typically
As the stock market starts to pick up where it left off before running into April turbulence, value investors should be willing to give undervalued Nasdaq stocks a look.

Industrial stocks have been on a tear, and there are various reasons for optimism. The Biden Administration’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorized spending $850 billion across hundreds of different projects around the nation. Disbursement of that money is already well under way, with a great deal of jobs and economy activity arising as
EV stocks have become a polarizing topic among investors. Some investors are convinced that EVs are the end-all-be-all of transportation for the future.

The outlook for cryptocurrencies seems to change like the weather. Only a month ago, the whole world was bullish on crypto as a Bitcoin (BTC-USD) halving event approached, when the available supply of BTC that can be mined is reduced by 50%. Past halving events led to parabolic moves that increased crypto prices. Not this
Finding value stocks to buy — especially if you’re trying to emulate Warren Buffett — isn’t nearly as easy as copying trades from Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B). Something many amateur Buffett aficionados overlook is that, when it comes to finding value stocks to buy, Warren Buffett’s choices are surprisingly slim. With billions in cash, Buffett
Bearishness about Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has been on the rise lately, but one Intel stock insider has been bucking the trend. CEO Pat Gelsinger has recently been engaging in some insider buying of the chipmaker’s shares.

Stanley Druckenmiller, Duquesne Family Office, at CNBC’s Delivering Alpha, Sept. 28, 2022. Scott Mlyn | CNBC Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller revealed Tuesday that he has slashed his big bet in chipmaker Nvidia earlier this year, saying the swift artificial intelligence boom could be overdone in the short run. “We did cut that and a lot of
Buy in May and go away. That investing maxim suggests investors should walk away from the market in Spring and not return again till October. Historical data supports the May to October period as the worst-performing six-month period of the year. Analysts at LPL Financial found that from 1950 on, the S&P 500 returned just
If you’re wondering which consumer staples stocks to sell this month, look no further. The consumer is hanging tough.

Almost one year ago, I picked three of the best stocks to buy with $500. The caveat was that their combined share prices had to be equal or near $500. The three stocks were Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:STLD), Targa Resources (NYSE:TRGP) and United Rentals (NYSE:URI). Their combined share prices were $509.37, so the total went over

After several months of increasing stock prices, interest in artificial intelligence hit some speed bumps during the Q1 earnings season, and it might be time to think about which AI stocks to sell.
