Stocks to buy

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

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

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

Known more as a search and cloud computing giant, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is also clearly looking to expand into other high-growth verticals. Indeed, the openness of regulators to certain large deals in the tech sector makes the U.S. market one that rewards investors who stick with the giants over the long-term. The specific vertical Alphabet

Many investors are becoming comfortable with trading options to manage risk and returns. Buying low and selling high is a tried-and-true strategy for building wealth through stocks. But how can you find oversold stocks?   One answer is to follow a technical indicator called the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI). This commonly used indicator helps traders

Wireless charging tech is set to have an outsized impact on many industries. With the technology gaining importance in the various fields of consumer electronics, automotive, and more, the best wireless charging stocks are expected to have great growth potential.  New innovations in wireless charging systems, including inductive and resonant charging, have made the process

Lithium stocks continue to be in dire straits well into 2024. The price for the rare earth mineral, lithium carbonate, has fallen 11.4% since the start of the year. On a similar point, the prized rare earth mineral’s price plummeted more than 81% just in 2023 alone. There are a couple, relevant market forces to

The 2024 election is shaping up to be the wildest in recent history. In just one month, the American people have witnessed an assassination attempt on one candidate and the dropping out of the other. Yet, the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump earlier this month and the announcement of President Joe Biden dropping

When the markets are trading near all-time highs, it’s important to remain cautious. At the same time, a small part of the portfolio can be allocated to high-risk bets to make full utilization of the bull market. With the possibility of rate cuts in the coming quarters, the rally possibly has some more juice. The

Finding the top stocks to buy before the elections is a sharp move. Looking at the potential of Trump 2.0, three stocks with the potential for sustained growth are critical to deriving stable returns. These three companies have emerged as compelling choices in this regard (a Republican win).  Fundamentally, each offers distinct advantages that cater
