Renewable energy stocks are in a slump. An ongoing emphasis on common sense sustainability, interest rates, and increased bond yields are putting pressure on the most promising long-term renewable energy stocks.

In the complex landscape of financial markets, the quest for wealth is both an art and a science. In this intricate dance of investment, seven key performers have emerged as the stars of the show.

With so much hype baked into compelling innovations such as artificial intelligence, it’s only natural that certain tech stocks exploded higher in the market. However, some of the bravado has been fading for the once-screaming-hot enterprises. As a result, those still interested in the innovation ecosystem should target underappreciated ideas. Because of the dramatic rise of
As geopolitical and broad market instabilities heat up, we’ve seen a flight to safety of risk-free assets. The REIT sector has been one of the worst-performing sectors within the S&P 500 in 2023, with higher rates playing a significant role. Certain REITs should be sold in the present market environment of high-interest rates, surging bond
The trillion-dollar market cap club in the United States is an exclusive one currently dominated by tech. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). Google and YouTube owner Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL). Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Elon Musk’s Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) were briefly members as well. But there’s one mega bank that could eventually
With economic uncertainty looming, many investors are looking for opportunities to capitalize on the market volatility. Fintech stocks present an intriguing option, as many are trading at record lows despite strong underlying financials and continued growth.

It’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. In fact, as noted by TechXplore.com, “It has become nearly impossible for human researchers to keep track of the overwhelming abundance of scientific publications in the field of artificial intelligence and to stay up-to-date with advances.” What we do know
Penny stocks can be likened to the crazy world of cryptocurrencies where multibagger returns come at the blink of an eye. As an example, Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) stock was trading at $2.5 in March 2020. In a euphoric rally that followed, TLRY stock peaked out at $63.9 in February 2021. More recently, Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) stock
The economy appears to be slowing down. Inflation and higher interest rates are proving to be a big drag on the economic outlook. That could make it a rough time for many dividend stocks. The weakness is particularly stark in consumer-facing industries. Bankruptcy filings have been sharply higher in 2023, led by retailers, and that appears to
The selloff in stocks continues. The downturn that began in August and accelerated in September is ongoing as we near the end of October. Since Aug. 1, the benchmark S&P 500 index has declined 7%. The drop in equities has largely been broad-based with few names or sectors spared. That said, there are a few
Everyone in the business media has a suggestion or two of what stocks Warren Buffett should buy or companies Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) ought to acquire. I’ve written several articles about Warren Buffett stocks in the past year. It’s hard not to do when Berkshire had $147 billion in cash available as of June 30.
You may not realize it based on mainstream market reporting the past few years, but EV stocks are more than a handful of high-risk speculative plays riding Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) coattails.

Blockchain stocks are still popular despite Blockchain and decentralization being terms thrown around quite loosely these days. There are numerous reasons behind the popularity of the concepts. For one, globalization plays a big part as global sharing of human capital is on the rise. Unfortunately, the centralized banking ecosystem isn’t equipped to handle the speed
Many technology stocks are down from their mid-2023 peaks, and it might be tempting to go on a dip-buying expedition with Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) stock. However, there are too many problems to confidently recommend investing in Qualcomm in the fourth quarter. Last month, we warned Qualcomm has issues and isn’t out of the woods yet. The situation
Dividend kings are companies that have raised their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years. Most of the companies that have achieved the latter milestone have had strong, growing businesses, excellent balance sheets, and sound fundamentals during most or all of the last 50 years.

Equities markets have been through some turbulent weeks. The S&P500 and Nasdaq are only returning 10.0% and 26.8% since the start of the year. For context, in September, these indices returned around 34.1% and 17.6%, respectively, which speaks to the volatility markets have experienced recently. This has led to stocks to sell. Geopolitics and uncertainty
Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is just the largest of four Chinese electric vehicle names traded in New York. The others are Xpeng (NASDAQ:XPEV), Nio (NYSE:NIO), and Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY). The last is based in Sweden but controlled by Geely (OTCMKTS:GELYF), a Chinese company. There are others. BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDF) is the largest, by far, but they’re not
Hydrogen energy is still trying to find its space within the world’s energy grid. Unfortunately, relatively higher costs have prevented hydrogen energy from receiving as much investment as solar and wind projects. The Inflation Reduction Act passed by the Biden Administration in 2022 provides both tax incentives and subsidies to clean energy projects, and this piece
