Once space was no longer the sole province of government but was opened to private enterprise the possibility for real entrepreneurship was born. It is impossible to not be awed by watching a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket returning to the launch pad for reuse.  The possibility of real space travel and space tourism has never

Nio (NYSE:NIO) recently delivered solid 2023 delivery numbers and January performance. However, the market appears to remain relatively cold for this high-potential, high-risk Chinese EV maker. Geopolitical risks remain, and the fact that NIO stock is a U.S.-listed ADR provides its own set of headwinds. That said, the company is growing, and growing fast. And

More of the world’s nations are going into rising conflict. This is why stocks in the defense sector are catching more of the market’s attention, and where Wall Street goes, money tends to follow. Tensions between the United States and China, and even the Red Sea today, serve as a potential for new government contracts.

The AI stock rally has continued at a torrid pace. Many companies in this sector have cruised to new all-time highs almost daily in recent months. As an investor, it’s natural to feel some skepticism and ask how much longer this momentum can last. We’ve seen bubbles inflate and pop across various sectors over the

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m an Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fan. My wife and I own at least 10 Apple products, with more to come, I’m sure. However, regarding AAPL stock, I’m afraid the company’s car debacle is a sign it might be too scared to fail.  This reluctance is not the hallmark of

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to deliver stellar financial results as it remains the runaway market leader in providing the chips that are used to produce artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, its valuation, based on analysts’ average forward estimates for the company, is not too demanding. As a result, I expect NVDA stock to climb significantly in the months

The fourth quarter (Q4) shined bright for hedge funds, marking it a standout period in the investment realm. According to a recent report released by a U.K.-based data investment business, global hedge fund returns surged 7.1% in Q4, pushing returns to 13.3% for 2023, after a slight drop of 0.1% in the third quarter (Q3).

The robotaxi industry looks like it has more legs than the electric vehicle (EV) market at this point. Where EV sales are falling and the companies producing them are in decline or failing, the electric vertical take and landing (eVTOL) industry is ramping up. Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) looks every bit the industry leader it is.

There’s no question Warren Buffett has a love affair with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The billionaire investor built up a position in the tech giant that allowed AAPL stock to account for almost half of Berkshire Hathaway‘s (NYSE:BRK-A)(NYSE:BRK-B) portfolio value. And then Buffett did this. He sold about 10 million shares worth some $2 billion last quarter.

Battery stocks fuel the green tech revolution, heralding an investment gold rush. They serve as the energy backbone for everything from vehicles to homes and offices while playing a critical in advancing the fast-growing electric vehicle (EV) sector. Consequently, battery technology has become a crucial element in modern investment strategy, positioning itself as a critical

My stance on Chinese EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has changed, and I now see more relative upside for the company’s competitors, looking at this space more broadly. However, there are reasons investors may consider this stock an excellent long-term play in this market. I was once bullish on Nio, and I can understand the

Global sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) rose as much as 31% in 2023, although this growth rate marked a slowdown compared to the robust 60% surge witnessed in 2022, according to Reuters, citing the data from Rho Motion. Hence, many investors still consider EV stocks as a compelling investment opportunity, especially

Google the words “Cathie Wood stocks,” and you’ll get nearly 40,000 results. The head of Ark Investment Management is one of the most talked about portfolio managers on Wall Street. Wood’s been loading up on Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) stock after its nearly 30% decline in 2024. Over the past two weeks, three of the portfolio manager’s

George Soros stocks will always remain relevant for savvy investors. As one of the most successful financiers in history, George Soros’s investment strategies attract a massive audience worldwide. His Soros Fund Management, boasting a portfolio value of more than $7.6 billion and managing 209 current positions, stands as a beacon for investors looking to navigate

Earnings season for the fourth quarter of calendar 2023 is coming to a close. Clear winners and losers are emerging from the reports. The stocks behind them react dramatically to the results and investor portfolios get violently jostled by the prints. While Wall Street and Main Street were surprised by many of the reports, overall

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock has demonstrated far greater resilience that I suggested in my last article. Earlier this month, I argued Tesla was set to stay on a downward trajectory following the company’s post-earnings plunge. Rather than sinking even lower, shares have found support and experienced a modest bounce-back in price. That said, I wouldn’t necessarily

There are lots of overextended stocks out there falling short thanks to dividend payments that are too good to be true. The internationally known pharmaceutical company Bayer (OTCMKTS:BAYRY) is a great example of this as the company recently announced a 95% dividend cut on Feb. 20. It plans to pay the legal minimum of 0.11

New investors looking to break into the market have more options to choose from than ever before. However, due to current socioeconomic factors, like continued inflation, stocks fluctuate more than ever now, too. For the savvy investor, there are some buy-and-hold stocks you should add to your portfolio. Having said that, these three companies have proven

Most small-cap stocks are still in a bear market. When a rising tide does not lift all boats, everybody drowns. We have never seen anything like this “new bull market” before in history, where the top names in the S&P 500 are so disproportionately driving total returns, while most stocks are nowhere near their 2021
