Stocks to buy

My son became an investor this year, taking a job that pays more than his single, frugal lifestyle consumes. He asked me what stocks he might buy with just $100. It was a difficult question. Finding the best stocks for $100 presents a lot of unique challenges. The easy answer is, if a broker allows

The three Chinese tech stocks profiled  in this column are well-positioned to  rebound during the rest of the year. In recent months, U.S. investors have been hesitant to include Chinese shares in their portfolios. That’s partly due to increased volatility as a result of country-specific political risks as well as the slowdown of global economic

Once upon a time, Tesla (TSLA) was the “golden goose” in the electric vehicle industry. It burst onto the scene as the first major pure EV maker in the early 2010s. By the middle of the decade, Elon Musk & Co. commanded about 10% of the global electric car market. In 2019 and 2020, the

Last week, I wrote about trends that investors simply cannot ignore right now, even in the midst of a bear market. While a bear market has enveloped the stock market and nearly swallowed individual stocks whole, there are still some bright spots. One such bright spot was cybersecurity stocks. While the economy has been hitting

Finding the right EV stocks to buy can be confusing. A flurry of new overseas and domestic startups and established automakers led to robust market activity, with several companies soaring to mega-cap valuations. Due to challenging macroeconomic conditions, EV stocks have fallen from all-time highs achieved last year. Nevertheless, the long-term bull case for EV

In financial markets, cash flows, growth outlook and valuation does matter. However, investor sentiment plays a key role in driving growth stocks higher or lower. When the economic outlook is positive and the financial system has ample liquidity, growth stocks tend to command a valuation premium. On the other hand, when the economic outlook weakens

It’s hard to find the best tech stocks to buy because technology stocks have been crushed like tin cans in this year’s market selloff. Ever since the 2008-09 financial crisis, technology stocks have posted outsized gains compared to just about any other category of securities. Between 2011 and 2021, the technology-laden Nasdaq index gained 440%,

The 5G revolution continues to show promise. Indeed, for investors looking for long-term, non-cyclical growth trends, 5G technology is one of the best places to be invested. However, finding cheap 5G stocks under $10 is somewhat difficult. Many of the biggest and most prominent 5G players trade at relatively expensive valuations and per-share prices. Thus,

[embedded content] With football season starting up, there has been a huge increase in sports betting in the last week. From last Thursday-Sunday, this betting was up an incredible 72% year-over-year! This translates to over 100 million logins to various sports betting services in the U.S., like DraftKings (DKNG) or Caesars (CZR). That’s about a

Biotech stocks have performed relatively well compared to the broader market of late. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEARCA:XBI) is up 21% over the past three months compared with a 6% gain for the S&P 500. Biotech stocks have a reputation for being high-risk investments. The underlying firms spend a ton on research and development

I’ve written before about how biotech is the biggest technology trend of our kids’ generation. Naturally, that means many people are looking for the best biotech stocks to buy. But as with the PC industry of my time, finding long-term winners is difficult. Back in the early 1980s, dozens of companies entered the PC market, many

[Editor’s note: “Why the Next Great Tech Bull Market Has Begun” was previously published in July 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] The tech sector dropped like a stone this year. So, it’s easy to forget the cardinal rule that marks many a bull market: Tech still rules

The idea that anyone could have a problem with Joe Biden’s cancer moonshot is unimaginable. After all, who hasn’t had a friend or relative affected by cancer?  My dad died from a combination of prostate and bone cancer. Now, you could argue that, at 81, old age might have done him in, regardless of the

In 2021, companies within the fintech sector raised well over $120 billion. Roughly $1 out of every $5 of venture capital funding went to a fintech startup. Clearly, many large investors were enthusiastic about fintech firms. For those who also want to get on this bandwagon, I will present seven fintech stocks to buy for

This year has been a particularly rough year for growth stocks. The severe macroeconomic climate has led to a broad risk-off investment sentiment, forcing investors toward defensive plays. On the positive side, there are plenty of opportunities to buy well-known growth names at discounted valuations. For example, the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEARCA:VUG), one of the largest

Years ago, I  heard Leon Cooperman, widely viewed as a legendary investors, say that there are two types of stock investors: those who like to find stocks to buy that are rising and those who like to buy equities on weakness. Usually, I’m in the latter group. Once in a while, however, I do like

It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] As an investor, it’s great to see the stocks that I love outperforming the broader market. And it’s especially great to see when the market has been

With technology-focused companies suffering a disproportionate beating during the present market rout, diving into Nasdaq stocks to buy seems risky. After all, the Nasdaq Composite has sustained a loss of 27% since the start of the year, far wider than the other two major indices. Nevertheless, daring contrarians should consider the compelling discounts on tap.

At long last, Rumble (NASDAQ:RUM) has finalized its reverse merger with CF Acquisition VI. This means that CFVI stock is gone, and RUM stock is trading in its place. This is a major change, but investors shouldn’t be alarmed. In fact, they may choose to hold their share positions in Rumble. What’s Happening With RUM

Investors are always on the lookout for stocks about to break out, but they can be tough to find. Let’s just come out and say it: Last week was not a good week for equities. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 fell by more than 4% after the monthly inflation report came in hotter than expected.
