The best cruise stocks are navigating a sea of opportunity as the sector continues its emphatic recovery from pandemic lows.

If you live in a city or large metropolitan area, finding an electric vehicle charging station is likely no problem. Most hookups are located on both coasts. Head into the interior, though, and it becomes more dicey. Selling EVs to people with few battery charging options will make them a tough sell. And it is

In light of Micron Technology’s (NASDAQ:MU) high leverage to the ongoing AI boom, very rapid growth and low valuation, I recommend that investors buy the shares of the memory-chip maker. Also importantly, many on Wall Street appear to be quite bullish on MU stock despite its anemic valuation. High Leverage to the AI Boom On

Between last Friday and this past Monday, August 5, stocks nosedived on the back of July’s weak jobs report. The unexpectedly high unemployment number rekindled fears that the Federal Reserve has held rates too high for too long, inadvertently ushering the U.S. into a recession. Investors got spooked and began selling hand over fist, sending

The latest decision by the Federal Reserve to hold rates steady is not doing any favors to the stock market overall. The decision to do nothing is stoking fears of a recession, sending broad market indices lower in the process. That said, tech continues to lead the way, and the relative safety of the Dow

In 2024, AI stocks remain crucial as generative AI and machine learning continue to be key drivers of investor interest. Despite market fluctuations, AI stocks have shown resilience, even in these uncertain times.

The technology sector continued to plunge on Monday following a surprising hawkish tilt by the Bank of Japan, which caused the Japanese stock market to crater by a double-digit percentage.

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is a U.S.-based electric vehicle producer gearing up to release its second-quarter 2024 earnings after the bell on August 6. Based on its key financial and operational indicators, Rivian stock is a ‘Hold’ going into the upcoming earnings report. Production and delivery figures have met expectations, yet profitability still needs to be

Lithium stocks have been battered in the last few quarters with the big plunge in the metal price. Sentiments for lithium have turned bearish on macroeconomic headwinds and oversupply concerns. I, however, believe that long-term fundamentals remain positive for lithium, and the meltdown is a good opportunity to buy lithium stocks at a low valuation.

As a rule of thumb, you want to make market decisions based on a wide range of assessments and not just on the recommendation of a popular investor. That said, if you had to trade with a particular individual, you can do a lot worse than so-called Cathie Wood stocks. An entrepreneur and a tech

One of the best ways to spot opportunity is by keeping tabs on stocks with raised price targets from leading firms like Barclays (NYSE:BCS).

It is not too often that investors witness the birth of a new industry. Aviation, however, is on the cusp of transformation. Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are poised to take over taxiing people on short-haul flights.

For all the volatility sweeping through Wall Street in 2024, renewable energy stocks remain a strong long-term bet for investors.  The global renewable energy market was valued at $1.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to rally to $2.45 trillion by 2032, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.47%.  With many governments worldwide

High-growth cloud computing stocks have been all the rage in recent years, with pure-play cloud companies posting jaw-dropping growth numbers. However, the recent selloff we’re seeing in certain tech segments, and the global pressure that’s been building for equity markets, are providing a harsh reality check for investors. Many cloud stocks are currently trading at

When investing in the stock market, you don’t need much money to get started. Consistently investing small amounts like $100 per month can be a smart strategy, especially if you focus on high-quality, blue-chip stocks with a history of weathering market storms and delivering compounding returns over the long term. While the current market sell-off

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) delivered a Q2 print that was strong overall and exceeded Wall Street targets on the top and bottom lines. Most analysts raised their targets on Microsoft stock after the Q2 earnings were made public. However, MSFT stock has been pulled lower since the beginning of July amid the broad pullback in technology securities.

Right now, the stock market is crashing on recession fears. And there’s no sugarcoating it; it’s ugly out there. But despite the gloomy price action, we believe these recession fears are overblown. In fact, we think this stock market crash is setting the stage for some great dip-buying opportunities – particularly in AI stocks.  The big

While it’s become a popular theme to buy when others are fearful, it’s not necessarily the best approach to follow blindly. That goes for stocks at one-year lows. Yes, they could be discounted opportunities. However, when a publicly traded asset loses a significant amount of value, there’s usually a reason for it. That said, by

Big Tech companies are spending huge amounts on artificial intelligence (AI) in efforts to benefit from deploying the technology down the road. According to The Financial Times, Big Tech firms increased their capital expenditures by 50% in 2024 to $100 billion in order “to build the infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence.” Among the firms benefiting from
