As I write this, Groundhog’s Day isn’t for another week or so. However, the Federal Reserve certainly seemed to signal that it was business as usual.

Tech stocks, including most big tech names, have been performing very badly in the first few weeks of this year. The Nasdaq 100, which is made up primarily of large tech companies, has tumbled 13% in 2022 so far. But investors who follow a few principles when it comes to buying large tech stocks can

Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC) is among the pandemic-driven high-fliers on a sustained downtrend.

This year, Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) stock is off to a flyer, rising over 10% in value in the first couple of weeks of trading. The gains have a lot to do with investing legend Charlie Munger doubling his stake in the company. After a forgettable 2021, this is just what BABA stock needed to kickstart a

Known as a silicon-wafer fabricator or “fab,” Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) struggled along with other tech part makers amid 2021’s global supply shortage.

Sustained economic growth, high job openings and a tightening U.S. labor market could present the best conditions for low labor-cost stocks to outperform the broader market in 2022 as companies compete for increasingly scarce skills.
