The year 2023 was not great for telecom companies or their hardware providers. After heavy spending in 2021 and 2022, many firms dialed back investments this year. On the consumer side, sales of smartphones dipped after last year’s record pace. Despite the dip, several 5G stocks have risen up and gained a ton of value.
Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD) are staples for investors, but potential millionaires may find small-cap altcoins intriguing.

Small-cap stocks are ready for a 2024 resurgence as investors’ risk appetite grows but mega-caps remain somewhat overvalued. Small-caps have had a tough year thus far, though, as evidenced by the Russell 2000 returning a slim 7% since January. But that’s about to change. Intelligent investors are poised to snag some small-caps within the Russell
Warren Buffett wrote an op-ed for The New York Times during the financial markets collapse in 2008 titled, “Buy American.

In one year’s time, the stock of AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), which currently operates 950 movie theatres and is the market leader in the U.S., plunged from nearly $90 a share to $7, losing about 90% of its previous value. What battered AMC’s stock could be distilled into one phrase: Covid-19. Afraid of catching a deadly disease,

Looking back, 2021 was a golden year for growth stocks. But it didn’t take much time for sentiments to reverse when tight monetary policies translated into a big correction in 2022. The current year has seen mixed results, and I would classify it as a year of consolidation and selective buying. As the markets start
Many bargain-priced mid-cap and micro-cap penny stocks are trading at highly-discounted levels right now. With the recent cooler-than-expected PCE inflation read, markets are now pricing in just a 2.5% chance of another Fed rate hike. These numbers include a 60% chance of a cut as early as March.

I think 2024 will be the year small-cap stocks win big. We’re already seeing tailwinds lift the stock market closer to past highs, but (valid) criticism points to just a handful of mega-cap stocks driving most of the momentum. But, for many investors, risk is back on the table. At the same time, companies like
In the rapidly evolving healthcare sector, the idea of personalized medicine stocks stands out, revolutionizing patient care by tailoring treatments with their individual genetic profiles.

Given that anything’s possible on Wall Street, Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock could stage an astounding comeback in 2024. Yet, investors should focus on probabilities and facts, and not just on lottery-ticket possibilities. Overall, the risk-to-reward balance doesn’t favor LCID stock and we’re assigning it a low-confidence grade of “D.” It’s well-established that EV demand has waned recently. Amid
The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is falling. Consumers aren’t buying them at the same torrid pace as before, even with manufacturer price cuts and government subsidies.

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is in a better place than many other EV plays, but that doesn’t make it a buy. Rivian’s relative strengths notwithstanding, the company is far from being on a smooth ride to growth and profitability.
