After a November rally, December is off to a slow start.

With one month left in the year, it’s time for investors to consider buying stocks from the United Kingdom (U.K.).

In 2023 it’s safe to say that the biggest investing trends were artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and the “Magnificent Seven.” You could probably retire if you bet on all seven tech stocks in the past year.

The top tech stocks are always a point of contention among investors. Some prefer sticking with reliable companies like the Magnificent 7, while others decry the same for being grossly overvalued.

EV stocks are one of the hottest investing trends of the decade. But that doesn’t mean investing in the sector won’t come with its ups and downs.
