Just like a fresh musical act that stormed up the charts, the curse of the sophomore effort clouds the hottest stocks to watch in 2024, if we’re being perfectly honest. After dodging the recession bullet last year, the Wall Street gods might not grant us good tidings over the next 365 days. Still, that doesn’t

Because buying dividend stocks is such a successful investment strategy over the past 100 years I gravitate towards them in my portfolio.

In the bustling world of investing, there’s a hidden gem often overlooked by many: under-the-radar dividend stocks.

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is a well-known player in the U.S. cyber-defense industry. The company won’t easily dominate the global cybersecurity market. Despite the high price, we still rate PLTR stock a “B” for its potential rally in 2024. Palantir Technologies is a favorite among momentum-focused technology stock investors. For instance, Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest purchased over 1.5 million shares of Palantir

For now, Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips, which other companies use to create AI, are considered vastly superior to those of NVDA’s competitors. As a result, Nvidia can charge exorbitant amounts for those chips. But the AI chips of one of Nvidia’s major competitors, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), appears to be starting to gain great respect in the marketplace,

The outsized returns of the S&P 500 this year were driven by the returns of just a handful of stocks. Remove the so-called Magnificent 7 from the equation and the benchmark index’s performance was relatively flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, on the other hand, enjoyed a much more broad-based movement higher. This is what

Among AI stocks, both high-profile and more under-the-radar, Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) continues to be one of the top choices. Those bearish on PLTR stock chalk up its strong 2023 performance to “AI hype.” Yet while it’s easy to see why they jump to this conclusion, a substantive bull case can still be made. The use

How can SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock go from hated in 2022 to loved in 2023? It’s all about central bank policy and the market’s expectations. In the end, SoFi Technologies will likely benefit from more accommodative monetary policy.

Everybody and his uncle wants to invest in artificial intelligence (AI) nowadays. Yet, many stock traders are unaware of the huge opportunity with an AI-adjacent technology, quantum computing. IonQ (NYSE:IONQ) IONQ stock offers pure-play exposure to quantum computing, but this stock isn’t appropriate for every investor. IonQ is headquartered in Maryland, and the company develops

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) seems like it should be doing better than it is. Sales are growing, it’s developing new, specialized chips for its cars and it has an innovative battery-swap business that it might just spin off into a stand-alone company. In China’s fast-growing EV market, that should spell success —

The trillion-dollar market cap club is currently dominated by the tech sector. But will two traditional retail giants eventually find themselves among this rarefied crowd? Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Costco (NASDAQ:COST) still have a ways to go before they approach a trillion dollars. And they remain dwarfed by e-commerce leader Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has a $1.6

It’s been an interesting year for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI), to say the least.
