With all the talk centered on climate change and the proposed solution of the electrification of everything, it was easy to forget about hydrogen stocks.

Despite the bull run, the current rally in technology stocks looks to have legs. With

Quantum computing stocks represent the next frontier for computing and the potential for scientific breakthroughs. Due to the disruptive potential of these companies, I anticipate that there’s a solid chance for them to mint new millionaires. However, first people must make a substantial investment in them.

Life is getting more complicated for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Elon Musk as the TSLA stock forecast gets hazier by the day.  Once the darling of the Magnificent Seven, if the stock price keeps up its poor performance throughout 2024 ( it’s down more than 20% year-to-date) it could be kicked out of the prestigious club.

2024 is beginning the same way 2023 ended: with the Magnificent 7 stocks performing exceptionally well.

Let’s take a look at some of the top Magnificent 7 predictions

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) investors have had a miserable year. The stock is already down more than 20% in 2024. And it could get worse for Elon Musk before it gets better. That’s because two of the electric vehicle maker’s biggest traditional automotive rivals… Ford (NYSE:F) and Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) just both reported phenomenal results, in large

In the vast landscape of today’s markets, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping investment strategies. Therefore, AI stock picks are as relevant as ever. AI’s ability to analyze extensive datasets and discern patterns gives it a unique edge. In essence, it makes it an incredibly valuable research tool. Recently, I harnessed the prowess of Chat-GPT to

The trillion-dollar market valuation club is currently dominated by the tech sector. Saudi Aramco is the sole exception. The other six members are all part of the Nasdaq’s Magnificent Seven.

In August 2023, Rolls-Royce unveiled the Droptail, the most expensive production vehicle in the world. According to industry estimates, the four vehicles produced will cost roughly $28 million each. And these superyachts on wheels will feature customizations that test the term “production vehicle.” One will feature a champagne refrigerator built specifically for the owner’s vineyard

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has had a rough start to the year after reporting its Q4 and full year 2023 financial results. My initial Tesla stock analysis suggests Wall Street was particularly disappointed with Tesla’s lack of clarity regarding the company’s plan for the future.
