When a revolutionary new product launches, what’s the best way to invest in its success? By buying that product-maker’s stock… right? Maybe not.  Just consider: ever since Apple (AAPL) launched the first iPhone in June 2007, Apple stock has taken off like a rocket ship. It has risen more than 6,000% in value since that

About a month ago, I flew home from a work trip into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. It was late. My wife and kids were asleep. So, I fetched a ride from a ride-hailing app. The car arrived. It took me to my home in the suburbs. Dropped me off.  It was a typical ride-hailing

Today, stocks are rallying to fresh record highs. Though, that’s not necessarily news; it’s been happening all year long.

Is there an artificial intelligence (AI) stock bubble that’s only starting to burst, or is the latest sell-off nothing more than a healthy, much-needed correction? That’s the big question on investors’ minds as they contemplate buying the dip in previously heated growth plays that are starting to show signs of bottoming out. Of course, only

Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) might be the least loved Magnificent Seven member. Oddly enough, Tesla is either a pioneer or a pariah, depending on whom you ask about it. The best way to sum up Tesla’s current situation is: “It’s complicated.” Therefore, if you intend to buy Tesla stock, only purchase a few shares and have

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock is a company to watch as it heads into its earnings season for the third quarter. My recommendation for investors to hold this stock.

The recent plunge investors have seen in Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) has been truly remarkable. Shares of the server and storage giant surged more than 1,200% during the recent AI boom but have since dropped more than 50% from their peak. That said, there are reasons why many investors view SMCI stock as a strong

Every investor is well aware of the volatility sweeping the markets over the past few weeks. The same investors are trying to understand whether a market meltdown or massive opportunity is ahead. While no one knows with 100% accuracy there are several stocks investors should watch to get a better grasp of the future market

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has been living in the shadow of its larger rival, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), for quite some time now. In less than a year, AMD has gone from being seen as a peer to Nvidia to more of a “Nvidia-lite” in the eyes of many investors. The stock tends to move in tandem

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has long been a powerhouse in both e-commerce and cloud computing, captivating investors with its growth potential. However, recent market dynamics have led to question marks as to how Amazon stock may behave in the rest of 2024.

Former president Donald Trump’s running partner for the 2024 presidential contest is JD Vance. Declared in mid-July 2024, this choice positions Vance as the Republican vice-presidential candidate alongside Trump himself.

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) fell hard after its second-quarter earnings report and the tech sector selloff.

Rivian’s (NASDAQ:RIVN) Q2 results were mixed. I feel that this quarter will be crucial for Rivian’s stock performance. Revenue increased. It grew 3% year-over-year. Revenue reached $1.158 billion in Q2 2024. This beat analyst estimates of $1.13 billion. Another positive was the delivery of 13,790 vehicles. However, production dropped by a significant percentage: 31% from
