Many commentators, analysts, and economists are convinced that the U.S. will enter a recession next year. Given the strength of the labor market and of corporate balance sheets, along with the onshoring phenomenon and the many jobs that the energy transition is creating, I have my doubts as to whether a recession is on the
Stocks to buy
One of the most satisfying parts about investing is finding hidden gems that have gone unloved or unnoticed by investors, and riding them to substantial returns. Whether you’re looking for unknown tech stocks or sleepers from other sectors, the key is focusing on stocks that aren’t followed closely by analysts and institutions. In 2022, S&P
The latest market downturn has created several opportunities for investors to pick up high-quality, little-known stocks. That includes blue-chip stocks that have shed value since the beginning of the year. Granted, companies out of the mainstream spotlight tend to be riskier than larger counterparts. Nevertheless, the value of little-known stocks cannot be ignored as the
Quality stocks to buy can be hard to find as economic uncertainty prevails. The Federal Reserve is raising interest rates again, this time by another three-quarters of a percentage point. It says it’s prepared to levy more rate increases in its quest to bring inflation under control. The stock market reacted predictably with another drop. For

Today we will discuss three car stocks to buy as the North American International Auto Show returns to Detroit after a three-year absence. Although it was a smaller event than in previous years, Wall Street was eager to see which automakers were driving in the fast lane. In 2021, car sales metrics in the U.S.
So far, 2022 has not been a very good year for stocks. We’ve been engulfed in a bear market with multiple geopolitical and monetary negative catalysts weighing on equities. Dow stocks, though, have weathered the storm a little better than others, and it is possible to find good Dow stocks to buy. Before today’s action,
This may be your best chance to find Dow stocks to buy on the dip, although that might not seem intuitive given the current market climate. Still, if you have a long time horizon and a reasonable risk outlook, this may be the time to not only stay in equities but to make opportunistic buys.
It’s been a banner year for energy stocks. With oil prices cresting above $120 a barrel and continuing to trade in a range between $85 and $105, energy companies are reaping record profits and issuing incredible earnings. Many energy companies have announced net income that is up more than 3,000% from year-earlier levels. It all
Investors who have a high exposure to stocks in 2022 probably wish the year would end. Unless they raised their allocation in cash, their losses in the portfolio are mounting. The war in Ukraine earlier this year increased energy costs in Europe. This raised the pace of inflation. Globally, most countries faced unprecedented inflation rates.
Finding the best meme stocks to buy can be a challenge. After all meme stocks are volatile by nature. Other than following meme stocks online, speculators cannot predict when they will surge.

I recently saw a tweet from Charlie Bilello highlighting the top-performing S&P 500 stocks of the past 5, 10, 15, and 20 years. The top performers in each of these periods were once small company stocks. For example, over the past 20 years, Monster Beverage (NASDAQ:MNST) delivered a cumulative return of 134,341%. A $1,000 invested
[Editor’s note: “The Explosive Quantum Computing Stock to Save the World” was previously published in March 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] I’m a history junkie. So, let me start by sharing an interesting story from history that I bet a lot of you have never heard before.
If we look at the past few decades, the S&P 500 has witnessed some big crashes. However, the market has remained in an uptrend. The same holds true for industries that have multiyear tailwinds. Electric vehicle stocks have paused after a big rally. However, this growth story is still in the early stages. Therefore, I’ve
Featuring one of the market’s love-hate affairs, the relevant-though-controversial category of oil stocks to buy will likely become increasingly intriguing to investors. Facing what could be a brutal winter for much of the world, geopolitical tensions cynically facilitate upside catalysts for hydrocarbon-related companies. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said it succinctly in a CNN interview. “This
For growth investors, technology-related companies have been a great place to park investment capital over the last decade. With new innovation, there’s been solid growth, which investors have paid handsomely for. Accordingly, for those seeking the best returns possible, focusing on top tech stocks to buy has been a winning strategy. However, this year, investors aren’t paying
Possibly the greatest development in the broader digitalization sphere, quantum computers feature the potential to change everything we know about machine-driven calculations, thus auguring very well for cheap quantum computing stocks. Essentially, the transition is the rough equivalent of a combustion car versus an electric vehicle. Rather than cycling through each gear as velocity increases,
For a few months, I’ve believed that both inflation and stocks were bottoming. Now prominent JPMorgan analyst Marko Kolanovic is making the same call. Thanks to the bear market, shares of companies with good fundamentals and strong outlooks are drastically undervalued. Nowhere is this more evident than on the Nasdaq exchange, which has fallen much

Follow that thread of logic, and
Water stocks help investors focus on one of the most fundamental aspects of life on Earth. All organisms, including humans, need water to stay alive. It is reported that water makes up about 70% of human body weight. Water and power are also critical in keeping the world’s economies growing and producing. But water is
