Investing in global or international stocks could be a great move for U.S. investors. Not only are global stocks less correlated to indices like the S&P 500 than domestic ones, but investors can also enjoy currency diversification. And, they may potentially avoid paying withholding taxes on their investments if made strategically. More broadly, though, global
After a sluggish start to the year, the stock market has quickly turned around and now sits at an all-time high. The benchmark S&P 500 index closed at an all-time high on Jan. 19 as investors resumed buying equities with a vengeance. Closing at 4,839.81, it surpassed its previous record high set in January 2022.
When analysts write about the metaverse, it’s not uncommon for it to be in a derisive tone. The fact that we’re not all strapped into virtual reality (VR) headsets with our families at home indicates its failure. The truth is the metaverse is already here. Just like Bitcoin (BTC-USD) isn’t considered a failure due to
Some of the worst and most deadly diseases affect our brains. In multiple sclerosis, the immune system “causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body,” preventing some victims from walking.” Brain cancer is often a quick killer, while Alzheimer’s, of course, causes victims to slowly lose their cognitive abilities and is
Ahead of Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) upcoming quarterly earnings release, the TSLA stock sell-off has continued. The market has soured on electric vehicle plays, and not only smaller, more speculative names. Even this established and profitable EV market leader has become the victim of shifting market sentiment. Worse yet, there is a strong chance that this sell-off
There are a few stock market trends that savvy investors will want to keep on top of. These trends are centered around the composition of investor flows to different equities, as well as leaning on forward projections of which sectors, industries, and geographies will come out on top by the end of the year.

As the market shakes out, it’s time to consider which EV stocks to avoid. It’s no secret that 2023 was an incredibly tough year for the electric vehicle industry. The industry is going through growing pains that have caused material demand issues that continue to reverberate throughout. That truth is reflected perhaps nowhere better than
Even as the S&P 500 marks new highs, many top growth stocks haven’t seen the same momentum. Since most of the recent market gains come from just a handful of leading stocks, hidden opportunities in growth stocks abound. Some are small-caps, of course, and those represent the best long-term growth stocks as they have more room to run. Others,
Bargain hunters, beware! The outlook isn’t great for electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock as the company’s 2023 production and delivery numbers weren’t stellar. Consequently, it’s too risky to go on a bottom-fishing expedition with beaten-down LCID stock. Besides, the EV industry is generally having a demand problem. Giant automakers like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) should be able to
There’s been little in the way of news/announcements with Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock recently. As before, all eyes are on the AI software company’s upcoming earnings release, scheduled post-market Feb. 5. I can understand why PLTR stock owners may plan to take profits. There are increasing concerns that AI stocks, even high-quality names like this

Want to generate extra income without working extra hours? Dividend stocks allow many investors to fulfill that goal. These stocks often give out dividends every quarter that you can reinvest or use to cover various expenses. Most corporations distributing dividends to their investors hike their dividend payouts each year. However, some dividend stocks are better
The “Magnificent 7” stocks experienced a great rally in 2023. These tech giants were also the key reason why the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 43% and 24% last year, respectively. While many of the magnificent 7 stocks were largely safer bets amidst much of the macro-induced market volatility, chances are 2024 will not be the same. Below
If we want to find something that blends technology, science and a healthier, cleaner world, we need to talk about lithium stocks. Lithium is becoming increasingly indispensable in the world of batteries and electric vehicles. Of course, without the incredible work that these companies do with the exploration and exploitation of lithium, batteries would not
Elon Musk recently stated that he would need 25% voting control of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to be comfortable creating AI and robotics products and services within its corporate structure. He currently owns 13%. “I am uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics without having ~25% voting control. Enough to be influential, but

For example, industry leaders such as Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) have seen their share prices rise by 181% and 57% within this last year, respectively. These are just some of the communication stocks that are on the rise. Communication
While investors should probably direct the majority of their market-earmarked funds toward slow-and-steady ideas – à la Warren Buffett – sometimes, we end up with gambling money. And in that case, speculative stocks to double your money might make sense. To be 100% clear, anytime investors venture into high-risk, high-reward stocks, there’s a reason for
Following a much-hyped introduction, space stocks have admittedly stunk up the field. Nevertheless, the underlying sector is only growing in relevance. Recently, Japan’s efforts to land a lunar rover on the moon reflect the heightened global competition in the space race. Fundamentally, this dynamic bodes well for the long haul. Some projections state that the
