The stock market hasn’t had a good start to the second quarter. Major indices like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 seem determined to give up their year-to-date gains. Macroeconomic concerns are heating up as interest rates will likely stay higher for longer. Inflation is also back and came in hotter than expected in

When industry sentiments are positive, the stocks in that industry are generally overvalued. It’s only when industry sentiments are depressed that multiple stocks trading at a valuation gap can be found. That is perfectly true for the electric vehicle industry. EV stocks have plunged as pessimists talk about the industry being dead. It’s a fact
The electric vehicle (EV) market has been a hotbed of activity in recent years, with stocks previously soaring to unprecedented heights. However, with the advent of inflation, higher interest rates and rising geopolitical instability, investors might consider the top EV stocks to sell. While various factors can influence the performance of EV stocks, certain indicators
Retail stocks can be a good place to allocate capital during times of market volatility such as now. This is especially true when the economy is going strong, which is the case currently. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) just upgraded its forecast for U.S. economic growth this year to an annualized 2.7%, which is 0.6
When the economy goes through a downturn, people must be more careful about spending their money. Budgets get tighter and luxuries get downgraded or skipped altogether. However, some sectors, like consumer stocks, continue to attract capital during any economic cycle. People can’t neglect consumer staples. Consumers need food, beverages, home care products and other essentials
The past couple of weeks have been increasingly volatile for U.S. equities markets. The Nasdaq fell 3.55% last week, while the S&P500 had fallen 3.05%. On the one hand, U.S. equities have likely reached a short-term peak, as trading multiples have become stretched. Yet on the other hand, U.S. Federal Reserve officials and Fed Chairman
With the VIX indicator moving to a six-month high, investors may want to consider gradually pivoting toward defensive stocks. To be clear, I’m not suggesting hitting the panic button. However, it makes sense to respond to a potentially significant dynamic. Besides the rising VIX – otherwise known as the fear index – the benchmark S&P
There’s plenty out there that could potentially drive a broad market pullback, but there are also plenty of individual stocks due for a pullback. Irrespective how the market performs from here, these types of stocks may be in for considerable declines in price. Several of the stocks that have thus far this year been top-performers
AI stocks have overshadowed other emerging technologies, including quantum computing stocks. However, it is only a matter of time before quantum computing stocks blow up, with BCC Research, forecasting the market to grow at a CAGR of 48.1% from $713.4 million in 2022 to $6.5 billion by 2028. Furthermore, quantum computing enables businesses to solve
Last Friday saw an absolute bloodbath for some of the market’s hottest AI stocks. Market darling Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) nosedived 10% in a single session. Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) tanked more than 23% as the firm stayed quiet on its earnings pre-announcement. Indeed, the reaction seems just a tad overdone. A missed pre-announcement seems to have
Blockchain stocks may be a better way to play the cryptocurrency market than directly engaging. These stocks are of companies that effectively integrate blockchain technology across multiple industries, offering a more diversified exposure to investors. Moreover, you can also sidestep all the regulatory roadblocks, liquidity troubles, and tax implications that aren’t as clear with cryptocurrencies.
Chinese e-commerce giant JD stock (NASDAQ:JD) reported strong fourth-quarter results, indicating that its new initiatives are meaningfully boosting its business. Meanwhile, the valuation of JD stock is extremely low, while I believe that investors are significantly underestimating the strength of the Chinese economy. Finally, the firm’s huge share buyback initiative suggests that JD.com is confident
These stocks that are vulnerable to rate cuts won’t be saved by a potential interest rate cut. Readers can take that statement one of two ways. It’s either a reflection that rate cuts are now expected to occur later than previously expected, and that the firms will run out of time. Or, it implies that
In February, I recommended five one-month momentum plays to buy as Bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices surged. The world’s largest cryptocurrency is a surprisingly good gauge of bubbly investor sentiment, and our writers at InvestorPlace.com had found several strong candidates to ride the market higher. Over the following month, these picks would rocket 47%, on average. Even
So far this month, Nio (NYSE:NIO) has continued sinking to new lows. At around $4 per share, Nio stock is not merely in penny stock territory. The Chinese EV play is now a full-on penny stock, and it’s likely to stay that way. Why? Mostly, because the company’s dire situation remains unchanged. The many issues
While technology is not the only area of the stock market that’s currently growing, it continues to be a major force in equities trading. And while the mega-cap tech stocks tend to get all the media and investor attention, there are many lesser known names that are also posting significant increases in their share prices
While dividend stocks can be a good option for investors looking for an available revenue stream, not every dividend stock is worth your time. Plenty of deadly dividend stocks are ready to wreak havoc on your portfolio. The worst thing about a deadly dividend stock is the inconsistency. You want to have a reliable payout
The clean-energy revolution is happening, but petroleum demand persists. Check out Dorian LPG (NYSE:LPG) stock if you’re in the market for a, c. It’s a buy-and-hold that you can tell your friends about – or maybe, you’ll just let it be your portfolio’s secret weapon. Dorian LPG is a small-cap company, but you’ll be surprised
Is the rally crude oil about to stall out? After several months of consistent oil price advances, the price of oil has dipped over the past week. It seems some traders are using the tensions in the Middle East as a “sell the news” event. Particularly if there is de-escalation between Iran and Israel, we
One of the golden rules in the market (and in life) is that you get what you pay for, which makes the concept of cheap tech stocks a bit questionable. Yes, they may be cheap, priced at under $10. But is that really a good thing? Invariably, when you take a shot in the market,
