From its stellar performance in 2021 to deflating in 2022, the biotech sector continued its stagnation into 2023, highlighting some pharma stocks to avoid. Year-to-date, the S&P Biotechnology Select Industry Index has dropped by 4%. Likewise, the number of biotech firms shrunk by 3% in 2023. Although overlapping with the biotech sector, pharma stocks have

Consumer interest has definitely has started to shift away from EV stocks with many investors choosing to sell them in favor of conventional combustion engine companies. Everything from government subsidies to concerns about climate change has spurred growth in the sector. However, since the beginning of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s 2022 rate hike cycle, the

Not only can that lowered target highlight potential danger, but it can also highlight a potential short opportunity to be well aware of. Often, downgraded and downward price revisions are influenced by company fundamentals, including financial health and future growth. They can also

It’s fair to assert that EV stalks are dangerous overall. The sector has been maligned throughout 2024 and continues to face ongoing issues. The electric vehicle industry continues to evolve but is facing what can optimistically be called a rough patch. Thus, many investors would classify any and all EV stocks as being dangerous. Yet, as with any sector, there are bound to be

The outlook for cryptocurrencies seems to change like the weather.

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is the next electric vehicle manufacturer to report quarterly results.

April was forgettable, to say the least, for the stock market. Not only was it the worst month of the year, but it was also the worst month since February 2023. Hence, investors’ focus now shifts to income stocks, potentially offering a safe harbor amidst the volatility. However, it’s imperative not to act impulsively and

Once, the saying “Don’t bet against the mouse” was commonplace when advising investors to avoid trading against Disney (NYSE:DIS). Increasingly, that maxim is falling out of favor and replaced with “Don’t bet against Elon Musk.” Looking at Elon Musk’s many projects with a clear, fair and impartial perspective is nearly impossible today. That’s because political

Markets seem to have their mojo back to start the month of May. After suffering a downturn in April, equities are once again rallying on news of strong corporate earnings. Also, the indices have hopes that the U.S. Federal Reserve still plans to lower interest rates at some point this year. However, May is typically

Industrial stocks have been on a tear, and there are various reasons for optimism. The Biden Administration’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorized spending $850 billion across hundreds of different projects around the nation.

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

Bearishness about Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has been on the rise lately, but one Intel stock insider has been bucking the trend.

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.

After several months of increasing stock prices, interest in artificial intelligence hit some speed bumps during the Q1 earnings season, and it might be time to think about which AI stocks to sell.

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.

QuiverQuant.com provides data on the top meme stocks in U.S. stock exchanges.

The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF (NYSEARCA:XLF) is down by approximately 3% month-over-month, illustrating the interim negativity attached to the financial sector.  Interest rate uncertainty paired with inconsistent real economic factors will lead to a sectoral drawdown. Sure, some variables might combat my outlook. However, the aforementioned variables may cause credit spreads to surge in the coming months, leading to a
