The rally in lithium stocks hasn’t materialized. In fact, right now investors who started a long position in the last 12 months are sitting on losses. The issue is one of supply and demand. On the supply side, some key projects in countries like Argentina and China are delayed. That should be bullish for lithium prices.
Speculative stocks are a risky proposition in today’s market. With even the Standard and Practices (S&P) 500’s stablest giants dropping, small-cap risky stocks don’t stand a chance. Unless you’re willing to dig a little to find high-risk, high-reward stocks appropriate for today’s conditions. One of my favorite strategies is learning as much as possible about
Ahead of possible volatility in the market, investors may find some measure of confidence in undervalued stocks. From a psychological perspective, companies that sit well outside the well-beaten path offer the perception that they trade below their intrinsic value. In other words, overlooked equities mentally prep investors for the long game. Also, another segment to
The Magnificent Seven stocks have propped up the stock market in what would have otherwise been a down year. If the S&P 500 was an equal-weighted index, it would have only been up by 0.1% year-to-date as of October 5th. The index has been slightly down since October 5th, implying an equally weighted index would have

Market volatility in 2023 has made some equities overvalued and other undervalued. Investors have fled some sectors and industries because their results are sensitive to inflation and rapidly rising interest rates. They also fear a recession. However, despite predictions to the contrary, a recession has yet to occur. As a result, some equities are mispriced.
Investors should know a covered call is an interesting investment strategy. With most stocks, you can buy and sell option contracts, which are leveraged positions — one option contract represents 100 shares in said company.

Despite multiple macroeconomic issues in the past year, the market looks to finally be turning back up as 2024 nears. In 2022 and 2023, unexpected downturns from the bear market, threats of an impending recession, and inflationary pressure brought down hundreds of growing companies. Like any value investor learning from Warren Buffet, one of the most
With the market just demonstrating the possibility of a downcycle in the future, investors may want to target dividend stocks. Fundamentally, the case for passive income is rather obvious.

A lot of companies and founders seek to follow in Musk’s footsteps and build their own electric vehicle (EV) empires. However, as with any new industry, there

I hope you don’t own any shares of AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). AMC stock has lost 81% of its value over the past year. As if that’s not bad enough for its beleaguered shareholders, CEO Adam Aron gets himself in the middle of an “elaborate criminal” extortion attempt. Despite sharing sexually explicit photos and texts in
Given flying cars’ ability to ferry passengers to different locations within cities quite cheaply, I’ve long believed that the demand for flying cars will eventually go through the roof (no pun intended). While researching this article, I found that many researchers have reached the same conclusion about flying cars, also called eVTOLs. That’s short for
Palantir’s (NYSE:PLTR) stock had a direct listing in 2018 that drew attention because of the company’s background and ambitious goals. Funded by the CIA’s investment arm and widely used by the U.S. military and government, Palantir aimed to be the primary data system for the U.S. government and expand its Foundry platform for enterprise clients.
When I think of blue-chip stocks, companies in the S&P 500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average come to mind. If you want to find blue-chip stocks to buy trading at all-time lows in the final quarter of 2023, you might be out of luck. According to Finviz.com, 62 S&P 500 stocks are at or near
I am seriously thinking of selling my tiny stake in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock. One reason is personal. At 68, it’s time for me to consider bonds for income and to protect my retirement. But most of it is a sense that the fad for Nvidia stock has become a mania. This has nothing to do
Expectations are extremely bullish for Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock as it prepares to issue its latest earnings today. Third-quarter financial results from technology companies have been hit-and-miss. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) knocked it out of the park with its Q3 print, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG/NASDAQ:GOOGL) not so much. Seaport Research Partners issued a “buy” rating on AMZN stock along with
Here’s a major news item for lithium market enthusiasts. Canada-based Lithium Americas (NYSE:LAC) recently split into two separate, publicly traded companies. The split-off company is known as Lithium Argentina (NYSE:LAAC). This might sound like an exciting opportunity, but investors shouldn’t be too eager to jump headfirst into LAAC stock. Unfortunately, some eager traders will probably buy
The U.S. economy has defied expectations as it accelerates despite higher interest rates, resumed student loan payments, and geopolitical tensions. Analysts have raised their forecasts, with Goldman Sachs increasing its third-quarter growth estimate to 4% from 3.7%, and High Frequency Economics raising its third and fourth-quarter forecasts. This has led to the emergence of tech
