With investors’ focused on several macroeconomic indicators, the stock market continues to remain jittery. There is no doubt, however, that there are several stocks and sectors that will be profitable for long-term investors. Some penny stocks are in that category. However, it’s important to remain very cautious in the near-term. One reason for my prudence
Stocks to buy
With the Federal Reserve set to implement aggressive interest rate hikes to combat inflation, the broader narrative for energy stocks to buy may not be that appealing to investors. However, it’s also clear that thanks to hotter-than-expected inflation readings, the central bank has its work cut out for it. Another factor to consider is the
Is inflation rising? The answer depends upon how you look at the most recent Consumer Price Index data that was released on Sept. 13. Year-over-year, headline inflation reached 8.3% in August. That was better than the 8.5% YOY jump in July. That fact will placate very few. But investors can still make money by buying
Back in August, I made the argument why now’s the right time to buy safe stocks. Just over a month later, this continues to be the case. The volatility and uncertainty that has rocked the stock market so far in 2022 doesn’t show many signs of letting up anytime soon. The Federal Reserve continues to
Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) is a platform that offers a vast selection of equities for purchase. Pretty much anything an investor could want is available for purchase through Robinhood. In that sense, it isn’t much different from any other platform. So, the best Robinhood stocks to buy are essentially the best stocks to buy period. But if
Just a few months ago, the U.S. Senate passed a landmark piece of legislation. And it set the stage for a particular group of stocks to soar 75X over the next several years. That may sound hyperbolic. But it’s true. And since that legislation passed, those stocks have been soaring. And that’s even as the
Finding the right stocks to buy for 1,000% gains in current market conditions seems challenging. However, it’s not impossible. In any economic scenario, there are stocks and sectors that tend to outperform. During the covid-19 pandemic, stocks from the pharmaceutical, e-commerce and social media segments delivered manifold returns. Similarly, in the last bull market for
With the world’s most powerful central bank committed to tackling soaring prices, it may be time for investors to consider specific stocks to buy for falling inflation. Here’s the reason why forward-looking market participants anticipate lower prices over the next several months. In late August, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered his policy speech at
The best nuclear energy stocks represent companies that have a future as world seems to be fast approaching an energy crisis. Oil prices soared during the better part of the year, while natural gas prices are rising on fears over supply constraints heading into the winter. Some experts claim that nuclear energy is perhaps critical
Anti-aging stocks have not proven immune to poor market conditions that have plagued the broader biotech industry. The biotech industry remains hampered by the same bleak economic conditions as those affecting growth companies. As a result, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index and SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEARCA:XBI) have fallen 16.5% and 23.5%, year to date (YTD),
For many investors, 2023 can’t come soon enough. The S&P 500 is down 16.93% for the year and the Nasdaq is down over 25%. It has been an equal opportunity selloff. So unless you were in one of the best market sectors, it’s likely your portfolio is in the red. But there’s still one more
I’m on the hunt for blue-chip stocks to buy for safety in this volatile market. The problem is the definition of what makes a company blue chip varies. Some believe it’s consistent and increasing dividends. Others look to bottom-line profits or rock-solid balance sheets. In other words, it’s subjective. Rather than spend excessive time settling
Some people seem to believe that “the market” is all-knowing. But that’s far from the case. In fact, “the market” often greatly overestimates and underestimates companies. Because of the latter phenomenon, it’s quite possible to identify stocks under $2 that can, in a few years, rocket to $20 or even higher. If you’re looking for
Until the summer of 2022, most financial traders didn’t spend much time thinking about 1life Healthcare (NASDAQ:ONEM) stock. They’re definitely paying attention now, though, as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is preparing to merge with 1life Healthcare. The merger deal’s not finalized yet, though. Therefore, sensible investors might choose to accumulate a few shares of ONEM stock but also
Some may be trying to call a bottom with stocks, but many more believe the rout could continue. With this, it’s best to stay cautious. Instead of diving into more speculative stocks, stick with the best bear market stocks instead. What do I mean when I say, “bear market stocks?” Stocks that perform well during
Although the tail end of the third quarter brought some unwanted volatility to the market, forward-thinking investors might want to use this time to strategize undervalued stock picks. One of the primary benefits of this approach is that such securities may not have that much further to correct. That would appeal to risk-averse investors who
July brings a busy earnings season to Wall Street. Amidst fears of an impending recession, investors are increasingly looking for value stocks with sound fundamentals. For instance, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) suggests the value rotation play has been at its highest level in four years. Meanwhile, ETF Trends writes, “value equities are trouncing their rivals this year, and while the
