For many investors, the concept of putting money into healthcare stocks to sell them at a future date might seem like a safe investment.

If you’re wondering which consumer staples stocks to sell this month, look no further. The consumer is hanging tough.

Although geopolitical tensions are high and defense spending is generally on the rise globally, not all defense stocks companies will benefit. Some defense contractors may face challenges.

It has been a few volatile weeks for U.S. equities. After ending the first quarter of 2024 with significant gains, the S&P500 and Nasdaq posted some of their worst months in a while in April. These major indices fell 2.63% and 2.42%, respectively. This dip has led to investors reevaluating their portfolios to consider if

However, the aforementioned variables may cause credit spreads to surge in the coming months, leading to a
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is full of proven blue-chip stocks, many of which can help build an impressive, high-quality portfolio. That said, the price-weighed nature of the index is just weird and perhaps too arbitrary to make it a widely-followed representation of how the broader market is doing. Undoubtedly, the S&P 500 is the
America’s most prominent movie theater chain reported preliminary Q1 2024 results on April 26 after the markets closed. AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock is down about 10% in the days since. B.

This year, the stock market adage “sell in May and go away” may hold very true, especially when it comes to the real estate investment trusts (REITs) best categorized as REITs to sell.

A stock market crash can be great for dividend stocks, but not for this list of dividend stocks to avoid.

The classic example of this phenomenon is Blockbuster’s failure to acquire Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) when it had a golden opportunity to easily do so. For the readers who are too young to remember Blockbuster
I was wrong about SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock. After three years of waiting for a return on my investment, I sold my shares recently, at a loss. The stock currently sells at about $7/share. If you got in a year ago, when it traded near $5, you’re in great shape. But I’d still recommend you
Struggling video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock has seen a very protracted decline from the height of meme stock mania roughly three years ago. I know, it seems like it was just yesterday.

Recent first-quarter earnings reports have underlined the level of uncertainty surrounding tech stocks at a time when confounding Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation figures have had an adverse impact on Wall Street.

Trump Media and Technology Group’s (NASDAQ:DJT) share price has more than doubled since mid-April. Trading in Trump Media stock has become so crazy that CEO Devin Nunes has asked House Republicans to investigate short-selling by eight financial firms. “I believe quick action is necessary to protect retail shareholders, identify wrongdoers, and determine whether any laws
Bears haven’t caught a break in more than five years, starting with the 2019 flash crash, which triggered predictions of a financial crisis on par with 2008. The early pandemic also looked bleak economically—until unexpected monetary policies drove stocks to new heights, highlighting clear growth stock opportunities. Then, the Federal Reserve’s shift in policy ramped
