A solid 7.1% compounding annual growth rate is predicted for the hydrogen industry by 2040, with the potential for faster growth in the following years. Harnessing the power of hydrogen more efficiently and sustainably could be extremely beneficial, as hydrogen has
The metaverse came and the metaverse went. Its ascent and steep decline correlates closely to the increase in inflation and subsequent interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Now that it appears that peak rates are at hand, the metaverse is back. That means investors are again looking at metaverse stocks and cryptos. Investors are
Semiconductor stocks have had an interesting 2023. There have been some major bright spots for the industry, such as the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications requiring massive amounts of computing power. On the other hand, there’s been a lot of negatives for semiconductor stocks. Consumer electronics demand has slumped following the 2021 and 2022
Investing after the age of 50 is an interesting time. Retirement doesn’t seem so far away, but this isn’t the time to be thinking too short term. And yet with 10 or 15 years until retirement, it’s still smart to look for long-term stocks. But as the saying goes, the best offense is a
Without question, one of the ugliest topics in the equities space involves the concept of stocks to sell. You mention that and you’re bound to receive flak. It’s understandable. Akin to a sports editorialist criticizing a particular club, fans of that organization naturally take offense. Given that tribalistic sentiments only accelerate when money is involved,
InvestorPlace published an article last December about the seven hottest biotech stocks to own in 2023 and beyond. One of the seven was the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEARCA:XBI).

Lithium stocks still have plenty of gas in the tank amid the world’s transition to electric vehicles. But despite this apparent tailwind, there is good reason to believe that these developments have not yet been fully priced into the valuations of these companies.

Many investors are experiencing the impact of high inflation and high interest rates for the first time. It’s a time when following the daily market news can drive you crazy. First, good news is bad news, then good news is good news. That’s not just true of the meme stocks; it’s true of many long-term
With oil prices dipping below the $80 mark this month, it’s plausible to think that the energy stock rally has hit its peak. Yet, this could be a premature assumption. Energy stocks remain ripe for growth, especially with 2024 forecasts hinting at significant supply constraints, potentially reaching a shortfall of one million barrels daily. Interestingly,
In 2024, UBS expects disinflation and rising unemployment to impact economic output, prompting the Federal Open Market Committee to implement proactive rate cuts. The FEderal Open Market Committee designed the initial cut to prevent the nominal funds rate from becoming overly restrictive amid falling inflation, with subsequent cuts later in the year to counteract economic
For much of 2022 and 2023, investors could take shelter in dividend stocks. They were, as the saying goes, the best houses in a bad neighborhood (the equity markets). It’s not that the analysts loved these stocks, but they hated them less. That sentiment is changing which makes it a good time to look for
Before even discussing the concept of green energy stocks to buy, one must acknowledge the 800-pound gorilla in the room: this sector stinks. As a Barron’s report pointed out recently, green energy stocks have turned a decidedly dark shade of crimson. Once heralded as the next big thing due to political and ideological winds pushing
Editor’s note: This story was previously published early this month. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information on Dojo and other custom AI. According to Morgan Stanley, Tesla (TSLA) stock is worth $400, and it has nothing to do with its electric vehicles. Rather, that hefty valuation is thanks to its
Investors are loading up on small-cap stocks and other growth stocks as the light at the end of the tunnel brightens. The Federal Reserve is signaling that peak rates may already have arrived. In fact, if inflation continues to subside and the worst is over, now is the time to act. Interest-rate sensitive equities are

Amidst the uncertainty, savvy investors recognize that market downturns potentially pave the way for future prosperity. However, the quest for long-term stocks to buy soon remains fraught with challenges. The fleeting allure of meme stocks, the snares of value traps and the troubling macroeconomic situation remain formidable tasks for the average investor. Yet, patience and
The stock market landscape is ever-changing in an era dominated by rapid technological advancements as investors seek promising opportunities beyond the well-trodden paths. Three hidden gem stocks stand out, poised for significant growth in the upcoming market rally. The first boasts a colossal user base of 70 million daily active users, a virtual universe where
Knowing the AI stocks to avoid is just as important as identifying winners in artificial intelligence. AI stocks largely represent companies seen as innovative and disruptive, creating new markets and generating huge returns. But not every stock can be a winner. The Portfolio Grader evaluates all stocks in the market based on growth potential, debt
I should pay more attention when I sign up to write about specific companies. In Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) case, I could write a bullish or a bearish take on NVDA stock. For some strange reason, I took the bearish stance. Excuse me? Anyone who’s followed me over the years knows that CEO Jensen Huang is my
As I’ve noted in past columns, many investors may want to emulate the stock picks of billionaires because they have obviously been successful at selecting good stocks and often have access to better experts and more information than retail stock pickers. This has led to this list of stocks that billionaires love. Moreover, the stock
