Defense stocks are back in the spotlight amid rising global geopolitical tensions. The war in Russia and Ukraine was a testament to the rapidly evolving economic and political instability. Even as the economy faces many challenges, global aerospace and defense spending will continue to rise YOY. Several conflicts have emerged, including the recent Israel-Hamas war, leading

I’ve taken a generally bearish stance on Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) for quite some time now. That’s generally due to various fundamental concerns I have with the company, as well as questionable forward growth expectations.  However, putting all that aside, I thought I’d take a look at the bull case for Palantir. Let’s dive into the company’s

The current business model of SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock is clear. For those who own the stock, it’s not good news. SoFi is a regional bank.

Earlier this year, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), commonly known as just AMD, was the toast of the town on Wall Street. Lately, however, another chipmaker has effectively taken that title. Yet, a notable acquisition should encourage AMD stock investors to stay in the trade for a while. The big story in 2023, at least in

Despite their somewhat controversial nature, metaverse stocks still have a lot of gas left in the tank. These companies are redefining how we engage with the Internet. The metaverse may also already be here. From cryptocurrencies to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to virtual concert tickets, the metaverse plays an increasingly important part of our lives. Metaverse

With apologies to fans of The Who… meet the new auto stock leaders. Same as the old auto stock leaders. Electric vehicles may be all the rage these days.

The AI boom, exemplified by companies like OpenAI and the success of generative text models like ChatGPT, was rapid, but I see challenges ahead. The AI field is now highly competitive, and these text-based AI companies might find it hard to maintain their dazzling growth. Instead, I recommend growth investors focus some of their attention

Does Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) deserve to be a member of the “Magnificent Seven” group of technology titans?

There is no doubt that the hydrogen economy is going to play a major role in the global push towards clean energy. However, hydrogen stocks have not been top performers in the last few quarters. That’s understandable as markets go through down cycles and it’s applicable even for specific sectors. I believe that the correction in hydrogen

Finding the best EV stocks to buy in this market is a real challenge. This is a high growth potential market as both consumers and governments are favoring EVs over gas-fueled cars. Last quarter alone, more than 300,000 EVs were sold in the U.S., showing the growing increase in demand for environmentally friendly vehicles and

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has become the runaway leader in providing computer chips that enable artificial intelligence, and many, if not most, significant companies globally are embracing AI.

Recently, investors searching for dividend stocks to buy have seen more opportunity. Some looking for income over a longer term horizon have flooded into the bond market.

Investing in space stocks is no longer science fiction. In fact, Morgan Stanley is forecasting that the global space industry could be valued at over $1 trillion by 2040. And that’s why some investors are becoming interested in the sector. The good news (that comes with a word of caution) is that as the private
