Last year, every major index plunged into bear market territory. While they eventually reversed course, the S&P 500’s gains were driven by just a handful of stocks. The so-called Magnificent 7 sticks are a group of mega-cap tech stocks identified by Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) Chief Investment Strategist Michael Hartnett as providing all the lift

Paypal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock has had a rough go of it, but the company has a storied history. It gave Elon Musk his first big profit. Co-founder Peter Thiel became one of Silicon Valley’s leading political players. But that’s all ancient history. What PYPL stock has been doing lately is disappointing investors. Shares are down 22%

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has undoubtedly been among the best-performing stocks of our generation. The fact that early investors booked gains of 200x on this mega-cap stock (which hit a valuation well over $1 trillion at its peak) is remarkable. In many respects, TSLA stock paved the way for an entire sector, allowing us to see a

Regardless of how TSLA stock is performing at any given time, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk remains a highly controversial figure. Musk has turned heads by acquiring Twitter, a move experts predicted would compromise Tesla. He has also been in the hot seat for his social media presence and his backing of speculative cryptocurrencies. Although

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has surged 40% year-to-date, garnering a “buy” rating from analysts, with an updated target price of $187.73. In the consumer electronics sector, Apple has continued to remain the dominant force, providing continued innovation in key areas many view as the next profit centers for the company. The company has historically generated value through

After declining throughout October, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock jolted higher at the start of this month. The bump was thanks to a well-received quarterly earnings release. PYPL stock zoomed from just over $50 per share, back to the mid-$50s per share, in the days following this release. In more recent trading days, however, PYPL’s post-earnings rally

In October, I warned investors that flying car firm EHang (NASDAQ:EH) had an order book that looked suspiciously weak: During the most recent quarter, EHang delivered just five units, down from 11 in the previous quarter. This suggests that EHang either lacks the purchase orders for its thousand-unit backlog or is struggling to raise enough

There’s no denying that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is favored among investors in 2023. That’s mainly because of the company’s prominent status as a manufacturer of processors for artificial intelligence applications. Yet, NVDA stock might not be a market darling for much longer. This doesn’t mean you have to dump your Nvidia shares, but just be aware of the issues

A late October Entreprenuer.com article discusses reasons why brands remain on social media. In reality, consumers mostly ignore sponsored content and advertising. Entrepreneur contributor Bryanne DeGoede is the Managing Partner of BLND PR, a boutique agency that works with Fortune 500 companies. She points out that many consumers go to social media to check out

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world as we know it. From chatbots like ChatGPT that can converse with humans in natural language, to deep learning models that can analyze massive amounts of data and make predictions, AI is revolutionizing various industries and sectors.

In the ever-evolving financial landscape, gold mining stocks to buy continue to catch the discerning investor’s eye. Gold, with its elusive stature as a sanctuary during economic storms, shines brightly, especially during global unrest or other macroeconomic issues. The precious metal is not just a counterbalance to equities but stands firm as an inflation hedge

The surge in green initiatives is driving interest in battery stocks. Now integral to investor portfolios due to rising demand for various applications, battery technology continues to improve. And the companies behind the scenes continue to offer impressive value for those with a long-term investing time horizon. EV battery stocks are becoming key investments for

Some people believe that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock will always grind higher and that they should buy immediately all dips. However, while it might be fine to own a few AAPL stock shares, it’s not wise to make any assumptions. A near-term share-price rally isn’t guaranteed, even with a famous company like Apple. It’s reassuring to know that Berkshire Hathaway

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), despite its name change and metaverse focus, is primarily a social media and AI powerhouse. While the company aims for metaverse leadership, long-term investors see value in its cash flow and growth potential. These characteristics are all within Meta’s entire portfolio of businesses. Experienced or new investors can consider investing in this

Buy-and-hold investors are comfortable taking long positions. To these investors, the only must-buy stocks are the ones they already own. However, this is not an ordinary time, nor is it an ordinary market.   No, this isn’t a “this time it’s different” message. Markets may not repeat themselves, but they frequently rhyme. It may be

Autonomous systems, AI, quantum computing, and other groundbreaking technologies continue to redefine the way we live and interact. For those searching for the best tech stocks to buy, though, this ever-evolving landscape presents both challenges and opportunities.

In 2022, stocks entered a bear market, as much of Wall Street entered into a panic about the Federal raising interest rates. Stocks bottomed in October 2022 as very slowly, but surely, many investors realized that the “Don’t fight the Fed” mantra was inaccurate. That’s because, in-line with my predictions, higher rates did not cause

The current five trillion-dollar companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges include Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Nvidia (NASD AQ:NVDA).  These five and two others, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), make up “the Magnificent Seven”. The Globe and Mail published a story on Nov. 1 that pointed out the Magnificent

These should be the best of times for ChargePoint Holdings (NASDAQ:CHPT) stock. They’re the worst of times. Shares are down 81% this year because, while revenue is increasing, the company isn’t making any money. For the three months ending in July, ChargePoint lost $125 million and only brought in brought in, which was $150 million.

I believe that inflation for a common man is higher than what the headline inflation data suggests. To retain purchasing power of money, it’s important to invest in asset classes that help in comfortably beating inflation. Within equities, it’s a good idea to invest in dividend stocks that offer an attractive yield. Besides regular cash
