Energy stocks have a lot going for them. The world needs a ton of electricity and transportation fuels every day. Energy is inflation-protected, as prices tend to rise during unsettled periods such as we’ve experienced recently. And energy stocks sell at low P/E ratios while often offering high dividend yields. But investors shouldn’t lose sight of
High-risk meme stocks have recently become incredibly popular in the media and across social media platforms. However, wagering on unpredictable assets without substance will be detrimental to long-term investors. In fostering a well-rounded strategy, it is imperative to focus on developing a diversified portfolio and focusing on a long-term plan. Stock speculation resembles gambling rather

Retail stocks haven’t been lighting the world on fire lately. The SPDR S&P Retail Exchange-Traded Fund (NYSEARCA:XRT) that tracks the sector is flat on the year (down 0.30% since January). Investors and traders seem to be taking a “wait-and-see” approach to retail stocks as the U.S. economy and consumer spending slow in the wake of
Electric vehicle battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) might seem like a promising startup in a potentially hyper-growth niche industry. However, financial traders should maintain low expectations for QS stock in 2023. It’s a harsh reality to face, but QuantumScape’s financials aren’t ideal. Moreover, the company’s progress toward product commercialization is moving at a snail’s pace. QuantumScape
Metaverse stocks are nowhere near as popular as they were a few years ago. They’re seen as high-risk now. Rewind to late-2021 and it was just as easy to speculate that they were a surefire ticket to riches. At that time, investors were scrambling to understand what the metaverse was, and what it could be.
Growth stocks were hot earlier this year, and some growth names are still relatively hot, as they have delivered much better Q1 year-over-year earnings growth metrics compared to 2022. However, I’d argue that most growth names are currently trading near a fair valuation right now, with some growth names like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) trading at very
We’ve all heard the adage, “Sell in May and Go Away,” but should investors in contemporary times target stocks to sell in the fifth month of the year? According to Corporate Finance Institute, under the original context, the British upper class would sell their securities in May so that they can relax and enjoy the
As the banking crisis persists, bank stocks continue to trade at depressed prices. With this, many investors are waiting for Warren Buffett to step in and save the day. In recent years, Buffett has lowered Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) exposure to the sector. However, investors are hoping Buffett could potentially increase Berkshire’s banking stock exposure
Semiconductor stocks are gaining importance as the technology is increasingly significant in everyday life. They’re in almost all advanced electronics, from your car to your smart refrigerator. But semiconductors also play an essential role in the growth of artificial intelligence technology. If you’re convinced, as I am, that the development of AI will change the
As any stock trading for under $5 per share is classified as a “penny stock,” admittedly sometimes this term can be a misnomer. However, this term accurately describes Ideanomics (NASDAQ:IDEX), as IDEX stock trades for literal pennies per share. At first glance, this early-stage electric vehicle company may seem a low-downside/high-upside opportunity. Especially as shares
By any conventional measurement, the current market valuation of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock looks ridiculous. At $288 per share, you’re paying 167 times earnings. The yield on the 4 cent/quarter dividend is 0.06%. (That may be less than your checking account.) You’re paying 19 times next year’s expected earnings to own it. It’s true that I
I’ve long been upbeat on green energy stocks in general and renewable stocks in particular. With the world’s largest governments tremendously backing the switch to renewable energy and the electric-vehicle revolution greatly increasing the electricity demand, it was obvious to me that the best renewable names would be very high-reward stocks. Earlier this year, my belief in
It’s understandable if some financial traders are skeptical of enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI). After all, AI stock rallied hard in early 2023. Yet, C3.ai’s growth story isn’t over yet. There are still reasons to think about investing in this highly touted software startup. It seems like every publicly listed technology company is jumping

Even the most experienced investors have only so many hours in the day to perform their due diligence. That’s where analyst ratings can be helpful. Analyst upgrades and downgrades frequently move stocks. Analysts spend a great deal of time covering a particular stock or an entire sector. This gives them access to information and

Everyone seems to be talking about semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI) and mega-cap tech. However, no one seems to be talking about healthcare stocks to buy. That said, I get it. Semiconductor stocks and AI stocks are the exciting plays in the market, while mega-cap tech is powering the S&P 500 higher. In fact, just a
Although recent headwinds like stubbornly high inflation and the banking sector crisis knocked the wind out of several publicly traded enterprises, a select number of hardened survivors potentially represent growth stocks to buy now.

Investors looking to participate in the booming Chinese electric vehicle market have a lot of choices. But there’s only one right choice. That’s Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock. No, not Nio (NYSE:NIO). Not Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV). Not Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY). It’s not even BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDF), although that company has made sizable profits for Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B). You
