Stocks to buy

Full disclosure: In my Innovation Investor portfolio — which is aimed at investing in the most innovative, disruptive technology companies that are fundamentally changing the way the world works, with the goal of achieving 2X, 5X, even 10X returns — we own Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. But I’ve been putting some serious thought into a very big

While a lot of stocks are expensive, many were beaten down this spring and look very affordable as we head into summer. The rotation out of technology growth stocks, dubbed the “tech wreck on Wall Street,” and market volatility have pushed down the share price of many well-performing stocks, presenting some great cheap stocks to

Digital banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) completed its SPAC merger with Social Capital Hedosophia Corp today, meaning that SoFi — which formerly traded under the ticker symbol ‘IPOE’ — is now officially a public company trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “SOFI.” Wall Street cheered the news, and sent SOFI stock up more than

For an individual portfolio, the key objective is to beat inflation. At the same time, the target should be to consistently beat the index. If an investor is unable to beat the index, it makes sense to invest in the index. Without having growth stocks in the portfolio, it might be impossible to beat the

One of the key plays right now in the market is the so-called “re-opening” stocks. A lot of the stocks hated by investors last year due to the pandemic have now become compelling investment opportunities. One such company is Carnival (NYSE:CCL). The company has seen a remarkable recovery in its stock from the lows of

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) saw its shares hit all-time highs early this year. With a series of missteps behind it, consumers buying more EVs in China, and its factories churning out record numbers of vehicles, Nio was on fire.

I have decided to change my mind about Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) stock. I no longer think it’s so wildly overvalued. What changed my mind? The company’s latest quarterly results came out on May 26, showing that Snowflake is now generating free cash flow (FCF). As a result, I suspect that SNOW stock will continue to perform

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has had an excellent 2021 and investors are enjoying the growth of the company. AMD stock saw the biggest highs over the past year and was very close to hitting triple digits. The stock hit an all-time high of more than $99 in 2020. However, thanks to volatility the stock is far

The first half of May was anything but good for UWM Holdings (NYSE:UWMC). Better known as United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), the wholesale lender of residential mortgages saw UWMC stock fall almost 25% earlier this month. Since then, it’s gained back all of its losses and then some.  Source: Shutterstock Up over 40% since May 11,

Hydrogen fuel cell player Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) seems to have gotten its mojo back. At the time of writing, this company has taken out its high for the month, and has broken the $30 per share level for the first time since late-April. Indeed, all seems to be going well for investors in PLUG stock right now.

The market has been going through a bit of a strange stretch. A number of hot stocks have come crashing back to earth, while value stocks have continued to trade well. The indexes have been holding up near the highs during these big sector rotations, so some of these stocks have done quite well despite

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is up more than 13% year-to-date as of May 26, and up over 37% in the past year. This is despite its huge market capitalization topping $1.89 trillion. My prediction is that MSFT stock is nowhere near its peak, despite its massive market valuation. Source: The Art of Pics / Shutterstock.com I project

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is down about 14% so far this year, as of the close on May 25. But it continues to defy the shorts who believe it is deeply overvalued.

We may be on the verge of heavy deal-making among media stocks. AT&T’s proposed spin-off of its WarnerMedia unit, via a reverse merger with Discovery Networks (NASDAQ:DISCA, NASDAQ:DISCB), could be largely about the telecom giant unwinding a failed diversification effort. But, it could signal something else that’s brewing among the more “old school” media companies:

Due to the onset of the novel coronavirus pandemic, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) hasn’t been able to rely on theme park visitors to keep the company afloat. Indeed, DIS stock holders have been forced to turn their attention to the company’s streaming service, Disney+. Source: Ivan Marc / Shutterstock.com Don’t get the wrong idea – people are

Investors in the live-sports streaming platform FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock have had a volatile 2021. Year-to-date, FUBO is down about 25% to near $20. The all-time high of $62.29 hit in late February seems far away in the rear window.  Source: monticello / Shutterstock.com Founded in 2015, FuboTV offers subscribers access to live sporting events annually as

The continuing sell-off of high-growth speculative stocks has been rough for investors. However, a subsector that seems to be holding on to its gains quite well is the crypto-currency industry and its associated miners. Marathon (NASDAQ: MARA) is one such company.

Just name an investment theme backed by a big idea. Chances are, numerous stocks associated with that theme have managed to soar to the stars, only to fall back to Earth in spectacular fashion. This is the nature of the beast with many investments, especially those tied to hot market trends and sexy growth narratives.
