Stocks to buy

Just as the ancient Roman Empire was powered by human labor deployed in agriculture, the modern era relies on semiconductors to power the digital age. This makes investing in semiconductor stocks an easy proposition, as it is investing in the civilization itself. Globally, the semiconductor stocks market is headed for a 10% CAGR by 2029

The first lesson in investing is that returns are not guaranteed — especially in stocks. Companies constantly fluctuate in value as the wheel of the stock market turns, and daily trades come in by the millions. With so much chaos, predicting if a stock will increase by 3 or even 10 times might seem closer

It’s perfectly understandable if you’re champing at the bit to “buy the dip” with Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). With the company just weeks away from its next quarterly earnings release, well-received results and guidance could lead to a big rebound for AMD stock. However, speculating on a well-received quarterly earnings release for the AI chip

Investors should take full advantage of the current downturn in Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) and buy the stock. Super Micro Computer stock is going through a rough patch right now due to ongoing market volatility and a move away from highflying tech concerns. Since July 18, SMCI stock has fallen 15%. The decline is due

In recent weeks, investors started pouring significant money into small-cap stocks. The move came after years during which the Street shunned the names because it believed they were not attractive in an era of high interest rates. Now that the Federal Reserve looks poised to cut rates in September, small-cap stocks, many of which are

Wall Street has rewarded certain growth stocks handsomely this year. I believe now may be an opportune time to buy some of these high-flyers, even after the recent tech selloff. Most of the stocks I’ll be discussing today are outside the tech sector. I think they have a great chance to continue their upward trajectory.

For those hoping to retire young and wealthy, the dividend kings are an excellent class of assets to consider. They are a prestigious group of publicly traded stocks with a record of increasing their dividend payouts every year for the past 50 consecutive years or more.  The list of dividend kings is exclusive. The most

The financial technology or fintech sector looks promising this year. Fintech companies use technology to offer money management solutions. They try to make banking, investing, and borrowing easier, and their relevance has grown with technological advances. Several dividend-paying fintech stocks have emerged as strong industry players with solid upside momentum. The industry’s future looks bright, and a rate cut

The pairing of artificial intelligence and growth-oriented companies has resulted in a new wave of high-potential AI growth stocks for investors to consider. These companies are currently smaller players in the broader tech industry that, through careful research and development, have made themselves valuable to larger companies. As a result, investors and consumers alike may

In April 2024, Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock touched 52-week lows of $8.30. With macroeconomic headwinds, intense competition and significant cash burn, the pessimism seemed to be justified. However, Rivian stock has doubled from these lows and currently trades at ~$16.30. It seems that the EV company is back from the dead and there are fundamental reasons

Elections are tricky business and it’s important not to put too much emphasis on polls, especially polls before September. That said, it seems clear that Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump has a less-complicated path to the White House. Basically, conservatives voted decisively for the man. Therefore, investors should at least consider stocks for

Emerging as one of the best growth and restaurant stocks, Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) continues to gain traction due to its unique menu and in-house operations. In Q1 2024, the company brought in a $2.7 billion revenue. Additionally, the company’s 50-for-1 split also was a key driver of a 21% year-to-date surge in CMG stock

Big changes may be over the horizon this November. With the wild election cycle shifting up another gear, it’s never been more important to consider adjusting one’s portfolio. That doesn’t mean investors should make wholesale changes: you never know what may happen next. Still, it makes sense to consider so-called recession-resistant stocks if you haven’t

“The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game,” prominent investor Peter Lynch famously said regarding investing. This basically means that investors need to do a lot of digging and research in order to find quality stocks in which to invest their capital. Clearly, it’s not enough to follow the herd on Wall

After Wednesday’s painful market sell-off, investors seeking value and bountiful dividend stocks may have more of a chance to pounce. Indeed, the broader market indices are fresh off their worst day since 2022. At this juncture, it’s okay to be slightly rattled as you look to reposition ahead of a choppy move into mid- and

While the most common current examples of artificial intelligence (AI) are the large language models (LLM) like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Copilot, the future of the technology is likely far more multi-faceted than question-and-answer chatbots. Moreover, the current involvement of various tech companies in the development of AI means that some future AI stocks

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published an article in July discussing the “skyrocketing” growth of Atlanta. That’s got me thinking about Atlanta stocks.  According to AJC, nearly 63,000 people moved into the 11 counties that make up Atlanta between April 2023 and April 2024. According to Axios reporting, Atlanta had the largest change in population between 2022 and 2023 among U.S. cities with at least 250,000 people. 

The rotation out of technology stocks appears to have been short-lived. With second-quarter earnings season underway and the mega-cap technology companies reporting their results, we’re reminded yet again why tech stocks lead the market and are the best growth securities that investors can own. Whether it’s artificial intelligence (AI), cryptocurrencies, cloud computing, streaming, or e-commerce

Restaurant stocks have been hit rather hard in this inflationary climate. Thanks to customers’ resistance to higher prices, the pricing power of various fast-food firms has proven somewhat limited recently. However, I do think waning inflationary pressures and price rollbacks could help the quick-serve restaurant and fast-food firms stage a much-awaited comeback. Sure, some restaurants

While the overall market hovers near an all-time high, retail stocks lagged. Take the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT), for instance, the largest ETF in the space, which has yet to reclaim its 2021 highs. In fact, several major retail stocks have seen further dips recently. This divergence from the overall market likely presents a unique
