Finding the best commodity stocks to buy can be challenging. Commodity investing involves directing capital toward the raw materials that are either consumed directly or serve as the building blocks of other products.

Who doesn’t want to buy undervalued stocks? It would be silly to purposely purchase overvalued stocks. Of course, value, in much the same vein as beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. One of Warren Buffett’s oft-quoted sayings is, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” Over the years, Buffett has

So far in August, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has been making some whipsaw moves. Following its announcement of preliminary results for the preceding quarter, investors bailed out of the chip maker’s shares, sending the stock lower by double-digits over two trading days.

For investors looking for true value stocks, few options have been available until this year. Indeed, the number of undervalued bargain stocks in the market now is astounding, with the valuations of many stocks crumbling from their peak levels. Some may consider last year’s valuations to have been unsustainable, and they probably were. But with

Monkeypox stocks, our topic for today, have had a mostly mixed performance so far in 2022. It is likely, however, that they could benefit from the similar tailwinds enjoyed by companies, such as Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX), and Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA), which have developed the Covid-19 vaccines that have now become household names. Monkeypox is a

We can account for regular market corrections and even the occasional bear market like we’re seeing now. However, a black swan market crash is impossible to predict and can have a devastating impact on one’s portfolio. Black swan events are not fun and they do not simply look like a “sale” in the stock market.

With the risk-off trade dominating amid economic uncertainty, investors’ enthusiasm for penny stocks has dwindled. The focus has instead been on blue chips and deeply undervalued growth stocks. In any market conditions, though, there are penny stocks that will outperform. Allocating a small portion of your portfolio to select penny stocks could boost your overall

The bear market of 2022 has many investors down. Not only have many lost money, but there are also fears that a recession is imminent. That would lead to further losses and an overall souring across society.  That said, there’s certainly money to be made. It was Warren Buffett who famously said, “Be fearful when

As a nearly trillion-dollar company by market capitalization, everyday there’s news about Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. However, one of the news items making the most headlines now about the electric vehicle (EV) maker is the potential upside from forthcoming changes to the U.S.’s EV tax credit. U.S. Congress has passed the Inflation Reduction Act, and President

The climate and energy provisions within the budget recently passed by Congress have the electric vehicle (EV) sector buzzing. Clearly, some EV makers will gain from the legislation and some will lose, so investors must have their due diligence in place when investing in EV stocks. The two obvious goals of the bill are to make

While the biggest analyst calls garner the most attention, “buy,” “sell” and “hold” ratings from analysts are not always a good source for investors. The reason is simple. The biggest analyst calls are often late in warning investors to sell a stock. For example, after a company reported a weak quarter, analysts rush in, after

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock hasn’t looked this good in a while. Not long ago, the company revealed that the electric vehicle (or EV) manufacturer plans to enact a three-for-one share split on Aug. 17. Furthermore, CEO Elon Musk tweeted a hint that two new EV models will be shipped out. For these reasons, or just because Tesla

Semiconductor stocks have been in focus ever since President Joe Biden signed the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act into law on Aug. 9. The PHLX Semiconductor index is up around 5% since then. Of course, not all chip companies will benefit equally. Before we get to which semiconductor stocks are likely to benefit most, it’s

As the U.S. Dollar strengthens, now may not seem like the right time to buy gold stocks. Especially as the Federal Reserve appears likely to continue raising interest rates to combat inflation. Further rate hikes could send the U.S. Dollar Index, already at multi-year highs, even higher. The Fed’s interest rate hike has already put
