As with every new technological paradigm shift, the AI Boom will evolve in distinct “profit waves.” Though each tech boom is different, they all follow a similar pattern. And it usually goes something like this: First, there’s a rush to build new tech. Then, there’s a rush for new devices that are built with that
Stocks to buy
Growth stocks are back on the menu. The past year saw investors cycle portfolios through fixed-income offerings, dividend stocks, and value stocks in rapid succession. But renewed bullish sentiment, boosted by better-than-expected economic conditions, means investors are looking forward to a rate hike pause (if not outright cut) which bodes well for growth stocks in
Selecting growth stocks presents a challenge when considering factors like disruptive business models and leadership. So, instead of extensive financial analysis, observing the choices of millionaire investors and hedge fund managers offers insights into potential market-beating options. Indeed, these professionals possess substantial research resources and unique insights, making their stock selections noteworthy. And, exploring the
High-performing growth stocks, known for substantial year-over-year revenue growth and potential profits, can experience significant declines during market contractions, as witnessed in 2022. Investors aim to construct resilient portfolios that endure economic fluctuations. Amid the current emphasis on high-growth stocks, the significance of defensive dividend stocks for consistent income and stability remains crucial, especially during
Investors look at blue-chip stocks for dividends and capital preservation. However, dividend stocks do not always trend higher. There are years or phases of price or time correction due to temporary industry or company-specific headwinds. For value investors, I see a correction in quality blue-chip stocks as a golden opportunity to accumulate. I am reminded of Charlie Munger’s idea
The best flying car stocks today are air taxi companies driving aggressive strategies. With promises to bring taxis to our cities in the next two or three years, these flying car stocks are set to revolutionize the industry if they can meet their timelines. Not every company will make it, but even one hit could pay dividends
After stuffing your portfolio with safe, stable stocks, prudent investors should also allocate a small portion to higher-risk, ultra-speculative names. Why? Because while they’re risky, these stocks boast huge upside potential if things break right. I’m not advocating recklessness here, but rather calculated speculation. We all hope to one day pick the next Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
Ocean tech stocks are seeing a resurgence recently, as ongoing sustainability concerns shift investor attention towards the open seas. Companies as diverse as wind farming, desalination, shipping, and more all leverage the deep blue sea to improve our global climate impact. But not all ocean tech stocks are created equally. Unfortunately, many small companies exist
In the world of technology, 2023 marks a pivotal year with the rise of artificial intelligence. Particularly, generative AI stands out. It’s revolutionizing industries by enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Consequently, companies at the forefront of AI are gaining an unparalleled advantage.

Whether you are a bull on the world’s transition to electric vehicles or not, lithium stocks are expected to rise in value significantly over the next few decades. These companies produce crucial elements to keep our electronics powered; thus, lithium’s spot price is expected to rise in step. I’ve researched three lesser-known companies for investors
The explosive rally seen in November shows signs of faltering. As of this writing, the major stock indices have declined for three consecutive days at the start of December and there is no sign of a year-end Santa Claus rally. Could investors end up with a lump of coal in their stockings this year? It’s
Investors don’t have to hit a home run with every stock they own. One or two multibaggers can be enough to set one up for life or at least a comfortable retirement. It’s been difficult to find stocks that offer runaway growth since the meme stock rally faded. The days of a stock rising 100%
Sustainable stocks continue to get a bad rap from investors. The standard argument against sustainable investing is that it’s not profitable, even when done correctly using all the appropriate screens to exclude companies not adhering to the stringent criteria for sustainable stocks. What are these criteria? It helps first to identify what sustainable investing is
The nationwide rollout of the 5G mobile network three years ago marked a critical moment in telecommunications, ushering in a new era of investment in 5G stocks. This upgrade from 4G LTE to 5G represented a quantum leap in technology, promising download speeds up to 100 times faster. Beyond the buzz of lightning-fast internet, 5G
As I’ve noted in past columns, data shows that, despite the recent skepticism of the American media towards electric vehicles, EV ownership is continuing to grow rapidly in the U.S. Specifically, U.S. EV sales rose 50% last quarter versus the same period a year earlier, while the sales of Ford’s (NYSE:F) Lightning EV truck soared
Quantum computing is an emerging field of computer science that leverages classical physics and mathematics. The field’s promise is simple: to increase the speed with which computers can do calculations. Thus, stocks in the field are highly attractive to investors in this increasingly digitized world. The most important thing to understand here is the idea
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to be considered the creme-de-le-creme of AI stocks. The company’s business model, focused on supplying high-performance chips powering the AI revolution, makes this stock one of the pure-play options that’s a no-brainer for growth investors right now. Indeed, while competitors like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and other chip makers may challenge Nvidia in this
With the stock market’s wild swings and worries of recession still looming large for 2024, I understand why so many investors have turned ultra-cautious and may only consider the safest, most rock-solid stocks. That’s especially true, given the market’s steep losses last year. Indeed, no one wants to see their portfolio’s value nosedive again. But
It’s no exaggeration to say that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a juggernaut in multiple market sectors. The critics can complain that AMZN stock is overpriced if they want to, but we’re giving it a confident “A” grade after a highly successful Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There are other reasons to think about owning Amazon stock before the
While the benchmark S&P 500 index is up nearly 20% since the start of this year, the equal-weight version of the index is only up 6.2%. This is because the Magnificent 7 stocks, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), continue to play a major role in the 2023 bull run.
