Stocks to buy

2022 was a tough one for tech stocks. Most were walloped with higher interest rates, fears of aggressive rate hikes, geopolitical issues, economic concerns, and fed-up consumers. It chased even the sanest investors from the market. While it’s impossible to find a risk-free investment, some are safer than others – especially if they’re leaders in

Hydrogen stocks could be some of the most explosive investments of 2023. Goldman Sachs says the hydrogen space could be a $12 trillion market by 2030.

You can live without an iPhone. You can live without a new house. Even the latest Hollywood thriller isn’t something that’s absolutely necessary.

There’s no denying that neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is divisive. After all, this is a company that wants to disrupt personal finance as we know it.
