Investing features many similarities to the game of baseball, which helps drive the case for the best long-term stocks in July. Unlike the NFL where teams play only 17 regular-season games, in MLB, there are 876 – no, excuse me, 162 games. But it certainly feels like 876 games, which tends to irritate casual observers

When investors think of profitable beverage stocks, they generally gravitate towards Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) and PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP), the world’s two largest makers of non-alcoholic beverages. There’s nothing wrong with that strategy. However, as we head into summer and the temperatures heat up, other brands are worth considering. InvestorPlace’s Alex Sirois discussed the best beverage stocks to buy
Hydrogen is a clean form of renewable energy that continues to draw significant interest from investors. According to Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), the hydrogen economy could be an $11 trillion market between now and 2030. However, by itself, that’s not a reason to look for high potential hydrogen stocks.
