Buying blue-chip stocks is generally a smart decision. They tend to be established, profitable, name-brand companies marked by reliable growth. All of these positive factors contribute to stable share prices that tend to trend upward over time. Buying blue-chip stocks in an emerging bull market is even better. If the economy can avoid recession, then
Penny stocks could be carrying a giant neon-pink sign that reads, “Don’t look here!” Invariably, people will not only look but also spend a worrying amount of time “researching” such speculative ideas. Further, with the help of social media spurring you to resources that corroborate your biases, window shopping eventually turns into actual acquisitions. Before
After a rough 2022 full of geopolitical instability and skyrocketing inflation, the concept of stocks to buy for the new year may have appeared imprudent just a few weeks ago. However, the equities sector generally responded well, encouraging investors to take a shot. Fundamentally, a few notable indicators suggest it may be time for intrepid
Renewable energy stocks represent a necessary mechanism to address environmental viability. According to NASA, the “…potential future effects of global climate change include more frequent wildfires, longer periods of drought in some regions, and an increase in the duration and intensity of tropical storms.” Still, this sector doesn’t concentrate exclusively on the science of climate

The prices of used cars have skyrocketed in the past few years. Coming out of the pandemic, supply-chain constraints made it difficult for people to get their hands on new ehicles, pushing many people to the used car market. Consequently, the demand for and prices of used cars, trucks and SUVs spiked. Automotive industry expert
The tech market saw a poor 2022. While it continues to represent one of the most popular investment sectors on the market, the industry shaved $4.6 trillion in market capitalization throughout the year. There were thousands of tech employees who suffered from the rampant layoffs throughout the year. And it seems this rout is only

A few weeks ago, it seemed everyone was calling for the demise of Tesla (TSLA) stock. CEO Elon Musk was dumping billions’ worth of shares. The company was cutting prices on all its cars. Delivery growth was significantly slowing into the end of 2022. Political issues were plaguing the brand. It seemed like everything was
Is it a sign of serious problems that Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) announced a workforce reduction? GOOG stock actually soared when that announcement was made — and for good reason. Alphabet isn’t actually in trouble, and the company’s anticipated artificial intelligence (AI) product launches could significantly boost Alphabet’s revenue in 2023. Like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
Earlier this year, Sony Entertainment released God of War: Ragnarok, a masterpiece for the PlayStation 5. In it you play as Kratos, a god tasked (among other things) with killing another god with the power to foresee everything. For the sake of argument, we’ll rename this second deity “Mr. Market.” The only way Kratos beats
Today, few are holding out on Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) as a possible Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in the making. As you may recall, the SPAC predecessor to LCID stock hit prices nearing $65 per share around two years ago, on expectations that this EV startup was going to be the ultimate Tesla killer. Since then, changing economic
Just because you believe that a market sector will grow in the coming years, doesn’t mean every company deserves your investment capital. A prime example is electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Arcimoto (NASDAQ:FUV). The FUV stock price has already declined substantially, and more downside is likely. After discovering the company’s delivery data and desperate self-preservation tactics,
It looks like financial traders are still deciding what to do with Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) stock today. They’re mulling over an announcement that Toyota’s chief executive, Akio Toyoda, is stepping down. The billion-dollar question is about how this might change Toyota as a company going forward. Toyoda is the grandson of Toyota’s founder, and he’s
When faced with economic uncertainty, investors should turn their attention to utility stocks to buy. Hardly an exciting arena, these critical service providers literally keep societies running. Cynically, this sector benefits from a simple harsh reality: bad things erupt when people flip the switch and nothing happens. Further, utility stocks thrive on insulation from the
Although time in the market usually beats out attempting to time the market, sometimes, you just want breakout stocks; that is, publicly traded securities that stand poised for imminent upside rewards. While it’s not possible to predict these developments with regularity – despite what YouTube luminaries might say – a few signs suggest that certain
Investors truly starving for cash probably aren’t going to be investing in stocks at all. Investors looking for the best income-producing stocks to buy are more likely to be willing to accept a bit more risk for the potential upside return. They’re going to be looking for yields above 5%, indicating higher risk, but unwilling
Dividend-paying stocks provide long-term investors with much-needed passive income to help offset periodic dips in the value of growth stocks. Indeed, a company that pays a dividend and redistributes capital to shareholders is one that provides a tangible return on investment over a given time period. Additionally, during times like now, when price fluctuations are
I must admit at the onset that I am not a big fan of investing in penny stocks. To a large extent, penny stocks are speculative and therefore risky. However, there are exceptions and it’s the task of an investor to filter speculative stocks from fundamentally sound names. I believe that at least 20% to
