The traditional definition of penny stocks is those companies whose shares trade for $5 or less. It’s never easy finding cheap penny stocks to buy amongst this oppressed group because they are often selling at a low share price for a reason. If it were easy to make money from low-priced stocks, you would see
Stocks to buy
A bear market is the worst time to buy growth stocks. Volatility spooks investors, and current fears around inflation and higher interest rates also hurt the story. However, investors who consider growth stocks to buy and hold can take advantage of this volatility to profit. Essentially, investors should purchase stocks after they have fallen. As
The best stocks for beginners in today’s stock market can be tough to find and beginners face a steep learning curve. Volatility is high, and bear market conditions ensure that new portfolios will be tested. That said, it’s as good a time as any to begin to understand the mechanisms and factors that drive the
The Russian invasion of Ukraine led to an energy crisis, which led to a sharp increase in energy stock valuations. However, I’m still finding big opportunities to pick up cheap energy stocks. In the current economic climate, the energy crisis will continue to boost energy firms globally. As a result, many of those firms can
With the ugliness in the equities sector, astute investors may want to shift their focus to cheap tech stocks. Granted, among the major indices, the technology-centric Nasdaq Composite suffered the most thus far. On a year-to-date basis, it’s down nearly 30%. However, it also opens the door to significant discounts for patient market participants. That’s
It’s been the worst year for Nasdaq stocks since the great financial crisis of 2008. While 2021 saw big sell-offs in weaker and more speculative companies, 2022 has seen nearly universal selling across the Nasdaq as investors abandon growth stocks. Many investors are understandably throwing in the towel on Nasdaq stocks. After such a bad
The metaverse is more than just a concept. It’s an evolving reality that will forever change how we live, work, and communicate! Investors are flooding into the metaverse, some even going so far as to call this nascent space a new world financial haven. Hence, long-term metaverse stocks will likely be one of the biggest
Most stocks have been under significant pressure so far in 2022. However, tech stocks have been some of the worst performers by far. Of course, not all tech stocks are created equal. Some are high-growth names with little to no profit. Others are undervalued tech stocks with dividends. Many of these stocks tend to be
InvestorPlace readers are big on tech this year. That much is certain based on the fact that readers chose Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock as one of the Best Stocks for 2022. And it’s easy to understand why. With its impressive trajectory throughout the last several years and the speculative investing frenzy’s influence on tech, NVDA stock seemed like
It’s been tough lately for Chinese electric vehicle stocks, including for Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock. Besides the fact that overall market sentiment has turned negative in recent months, investors have really soured on Chinese EV companies particularly. This is due to the many challenges currently playing out in what is the world’s largest EV market.
[Editor’s note: “Big Tech Are Falling Knives” was previously published in April 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] I make a lot of bold claims. And one of my biggest, boldest, wildest of all time is that Big Tech is dead. I first said that back in July
On Friday, Credit Suisse’s (NYSE:CS) bosses accidentally triggered a panic after attempting to reassure staff and customers in an email. Rather than calm nerves, the memo created hysteria over the Swiss bank’s liquidity. Shares would plummet 12% when markets opened on Monday and credit spreads would widen from 140 basis points to over 500. As
Last Friday, Tesla (TSLA) unveiled its humanoid Optimus robot during its annual AI Day presentation. The robot itself – which looks eerily similar to the bots in iRobot – didn’t do much. It took a few steps, waved to the crowd, pulled off a dance move. And that was that. Most folks were disappointed with
The technology-component shortage is, unfortunately, a global phenomenon. And Singapore-based Kulicke and Soffa Industries (NASDAQ:KLIC) stock isn’t immune to supply-chain issues. Founded way back in 1951, Kulicke and Soffa provides semiconductor and electronic assembly solutions. The company is known for developing interconnected solutions, which boost performance and power efficiency, reduce formfactor and promote assembly excellence,
In this article, I’m giving long investors information about safe stocks to buy and hold for a long time; if not to own forever. Many investors haven’t been through a bear market, much less one that is accompanied by 40-year high inflation. This leads some analysts to poke a hole in the idea of the classic
Has the bear market ended? I wish I knew. But since there’s no way to know with complete certainty, investors must be prepared for multiple outcomes going forward. It’s why I suggest always keeping a list of must-buy stocks. More than just knowing what stocks to buy, investors should know when they want to buy
A bear market is a prolonged period of declining stock prices. The term originates from the fact that the stock market often drops as much as 30% in value during such a period. While most investors react to the bear market by holding back, the more aggressive ones can take advantage of those circumstances and
A year ago, undervalued electric vehicle stocks would have been an oxymoron. The sector was flying high on hope, hype and a ferocious appetite for growth stocks. This year has been a different story, as investors fled to safety and supply chain snags tripped up many in the industry. But there are some bullish signs
The stock market is now creating an opportunity for investors. Long-term tech stocks to buy abound, following some seriously negative sentiment and declining stock prices over the last month. The Federal Reserve heightened market fears when it raised interest rates by 75 basis points. Moreover, it cited the risk of inflation embedding itself into the
