Real estate is the worst-performing sector, down over 5% year-to-date (YTD). Due to higher for longer rates, there has been a broad-based selloff.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has yet to make its move in artificial intelligence and Apple stock is suffering for it. Shares were $165 before its most recent earnings announcement.

Social media stocks will continue to attract attention because of two critical factors: the 2024 election cycle and this year’s $251 billion market opportunity. I take every forecast with a pinch of salt — however, an estimated 7.30% annual growth rate in total revenue (CAGR 2022-2027) is anticipated, translating into a projected market volume of

New stocks have IPOs that experience huge price swings in their first months as the market determines their true worth. This volatility presents both risks and rewards for investors. It takes time for a startup’s share price to stabilize post-IPO. During this period, research can help smart money profit from inexpensive entries into firms poised for growth. However, those

You know artificial intelligence (AI) is reaching the mania stage when the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) headlines appear. However, many of the headlines don’t tell you to avoid AI stocks.
