It’s unrealistic to expect early-stage companies to deliver robust margins and cash flows. However, some companies continue to burn cash for an extended period, and it translates into shareholder wealth destruction. A good example of wealth destruction on the back of cash burn is Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock from the EV sector. This column discusses
These days, it seems everyone is worried about an inflationary bust. Many expect that over the next few months, inflation will reheat and push an already-fragile U.S. economy into recession. But I think the opposite will happen. Instead, I’m calling for a disinflationary boom wherein stocks soar throughout the summer. And it’s all thanks to
What goes up must come down, and there are a lot of stocks that look vulnerable to a plunge right now. With the market at an all-time high, many stocks have seen their share price double or even triple in the last 12 months. Yet more than a few of these high-fliers look as if

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution has triggered a multi-year investment cycle across the enterprise. Additionally, generative AI is now permeating various consumer internet applications. These trends bode well for AI wealth-building stocks. In Q1 of fiscal year 2024, a huge moment of clarity appeared on AI spending as cloud service providers such as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
As we enter the back half of 2024, I believe it’s time for a reality check. While the software rally has been fun, not all of these high-flying software stocks can justify their nosebleed valuations. Some appear bound to come back down to Earth. It’s worth digging deeper into Palantir (NYSE:PLTR), Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), and Snowflake
The U.S. stock market has been on quite the run over the past 12 months, fueled by potential interest rate cuts and economic optimism. Moreover, the generative AI craze and meme stock trading frenzy have been two major needle-movers turbocharging the market. Hence, many in the Wall Street punditry believe the market’s overheated, making it
There is some truth behind the old investment adage, “sell in May and go away.” The summer months tend to be stock market low points with September being one of the worst across all three major market indices. There is even a name for it: the September Effect. But for me, the summer doldrums mean
If you don’t own at least one of the Magnificent Seven technology titans, odds are you’re probably trailing the S&P 500 by a wide margin. Indeed, beating the market is tough without some help from the technology sector’s biggest, brightest stars. After explosive rallies enjoyed in recent months, though, some may view the Magnificent Seven
After Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) reported better-than-feared second-quarter delivery figures, investors saw a 15% surge in Tesla stock. Despite beating forecasts with 443,956 vehicle deliveries, a 4.8% decline from last year suggests ongoing sales challenges. Competitor General Motors reported a 40% rise in EV sales for Q2. With Tesla’s second-quarter financial results due on July 23, its
Cars are here to stay. They are arguably the most important form of transportation for billions of people and have been so for decades. Almost certainly they will hold that position for decades to come. However, this vitality is not expressed as much as it should be in the stock market. Some car companies have
There’s a great deal to like about Soundhound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) stock at this point. Its exposure to the AI megatrend, alliance with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and strong, overall growth are all in its favor. However, given the stock’s recent, overdone rally, along with the name’s extremely high valuation and significant competition, I recommend that investors hold
It’s hard to think about selling a stock after the incredible first-half rally that’s beginning to carry into the second half. Undoubtedly, taking a bit of profit off the table while you’re up may be a wise idea, especially if you’re uneasy over slightly higher valuation multiples. That said, with numerous firms seizing AI opportunities,
One key principle of long-term investing is letting your winners run. Charlies Munger reiterated this idea in his famous maxim; “The first rule of compounding: Never interrupt it unnecessarily.” This approach works with long-term stocks, especially those with durable competitive advantages. The following long-term stocks are well-positioned to deliver attractive shareholder returns for decades. First,
Buying a stock is very easy but picking the right stock is tough. As we embark on the second half of the year, it is time to reevaluate your stock investment portfolio. The first half has been incredible for several stocks as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 steadily hit new highs and now is the
It may seem contrarian to say artificial intelligence (AI) is overvalued. However, perception plays a key role. Many companies with skyrocketing share values over the last two years can thank investor misconceptions about the true added value of AI to a company’s operations. As a result, a few AI stocks to sell are potentially disingenuous.
In the quest for big investment returns, identifying high-growth potential stocks with the potential for exponential growth is paramount. Three standout companies are poised to deliver considerable returns over the next decade. These companies have demonstrated solid financial performance with key strategic advantages that position them as compelling opportunities. One of these companies has shown
The S&P 500 has continued to receive bullish forecasts from market analysts, including recent analyst upgrades. Some suggest the index could reach a target of 6,100 by the end of the year. The optimism is grounded in the index’s foundation of earnings growth, with additional support from favorable inflation news and expectations of a Federal
U.S. equities have continued their incredible rally in 2024. Last year, despite major swings in performance, Nasdaq and the S&P 500 soared 43.2% and 24.2%, respectively. In 2024, excitement around artificial intelligence (AI) and recent economic data pointing to slowing inflation and a cooling job market have lifted the indices 22.6% and 16.8% for the
