Investing in the biotech sphere isn’t for the faint of heart, and you should steer clear of the biotech stocks to avoid. That’s because biotech stocks tend to experience wild swings in developments, such as clinical trial outcomes or drug approvals. Unsurprisingly, the SPDR S&P Biotech ETF had shed roughly 40% in value over the
The overarching theme this earnings season is ‘beat and hold.’ Even though the biggest fishes in the stock market will likely surpass consensus estimates, you’re unlikely to see encouraging price action.

If any company reflects the state of China’s economy, it would be e-commerce and cloud-computing firm Alibaba (NYSE:BABA).

The healthcare industry has experienced unprecedented growth in recent years due to the global pandemic. However, as COVID-19 began to ease, the immense growth of the healthcare industry is expected to slow down.

Investors tend to flock to dividend stocks when uncertain about the market’s outlook. Commonly referred to as “defensive stocks,” these investments appeal to investors seeking consistent payouts over time. Dividends are generally paid quarterly, diverging from day traders’ interests in short-term profits. Thus, these types of stocks often demonstrate stability. With recent market volatility fueling
Equities related to the once-burgeoning hydrogen market are largely worth avoiding in 2024. The demand for renewable energy, especially one as expensive to produce and transport as hydrogen, has been rather for well over a year. While the Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has catapulted investment into the space, tax credits and subsidies have
Though travel and cruise stocks have yet to return to their pre-Covid-19 levels, 2024 may be the year of vacations. According to U.S. cruise operators and travel agents, travelers have booked record levels of cruise tickets, surpassing 2019’s numbers. This marks a return of interest and trust in the cruise ship industry after pandemic-era controversies.
In the era of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), many retailers have gone bankrupt because they could not compete with the e-commerce juggernaut.

U.S. equities posted some gains last week, which I’m sure was refreshing to see given the sell-off a week prior. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively. This brings their respective year-to-date gains up to 6.9% and 4.0%. Unfortunately, market risks still remain. Not only do we still need inflation to come down consistently, but
SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) certainly benefited when the artificial intelligence trend swept through Wall Street. You may choose to hold SoundHound AI stock if you’re bullish on AI technology for the long term. In the final analysis, we’re assigning a “B” grade to the stock as the risks and potential rewards are considerable. SoundHound AI occupies an interesting
