Stocks to buy

Nokia (NYSE:NOK), the Finnish telecom company, seems very undervalued now. The company produced excellent Q3 2021 results, released on Oct. 28. Moreover, NOK stock is bound to rise much higher based on recent results updates.

Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ:UPST) was one of the big investment growth stories of 2021. At least, until last October. At that point, UPST stock crashed and it also became a cautionary tale about the downside of meme stocks. Upstart shares are now trading at around $120, which is right about where they were last June. They’re

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) emerged as one of the biggest stock market winners last year. NVDA stock generated over 120% returns for its investors in the past 12-months.

Recently a number of reports emerged, including a Jan. 5 article in Barron’s magazine, that Charlie Munger has “doubled down” into shares of Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA). In the past, I have written why BABA stock looks cheap. But I wanted to write about why he might see Alibaba as a worthwhile investment to buy

Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) is making great progress in manufacturing and generating orders for its battery-electric and hydrogen heavy-duty commercial trucks.

Consequently,

To put it simply, workforce-management software company Asana (NYSE:ASAN) is in the business of reducing the impact gap in the typical workplace.

There seems to be a shift in the market. Speculative growth stocks and cryptocurrency, among other hot 2021 trends, have slumped in recent months. Meanwhile, more defensive stocks such as energy, utilities, industrials and food and beverage companies are rising. Amid these shifting sectoral winds, it’s time to take a look at infrastructure stocks. Infrastructure

Ah, the joys of the content publication stream!

I hypothesize that retail investors don’t spend much time considering country-specific exchange traded funds (ETFs) to buy.  I don’t have empirical data to back up this assertion. However, it seems logical that most smaller investors are looking to get more bang for their buck. For example, why buy three or four country-specific emerging markets ETFs

Solar stocks, for the most part, ended 2021 on a weak note. Many investors decided to take money off the table following significant gains seen in alternative energy names. For instance, the Dow Jones U.S. Renewable Energy Equipment Total Stock Market Index was down 24.0% in 2021. Yet, despite the volatility in shares prices of

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) has had a rough several months.

Opening at $2735.27 on Friday, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares dropped 4.7% on Thursday. That put GOOG stock off to a decidedly different start to 2022 than might have been expected.

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) proves there’s a price that’s too high, even for a good company in a hot niche. I will admit that I was caught off guard.

Last year was a mixed one for Chinese electric vehicle (EV) companies. Even with strong financial performances, stock upsides were capped with regulatory concerns. Additionally, chip shortages broadly impacted EV stock sentiments. However, I believe that Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is among the top EV stocks to consider for 2022 and beyond. Source: Robert Way

It’s been a weird couple of weeks for some companies. Facebook changed its name to Meta (NASDAQ:FB), while Square (NYSE:SQ) changed its name to Block.
