Recent comments by Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) CEO Brian Moynihan have increased my confidence in my thesis that the U.S. is heading for “a soft landing.” Specifically, Moynihan said the U.S. Federal Reserve already achieved “a soft landing.” That being said, investors may want to consider jumping back into consumer discretionary stocks – especially those that

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stands as a prominent pick in China’s electric vehicle market. However, NIO stock has experienced substantial volatility because of speculation about which companies will thrive in the global transition to electric vehicles. In 2022, Nio faced a challenging year, with its stock plummeting over 69% during a widespread market downturn. In 2023, Nio’s

Sports betting stocks are definitely stocks to consider, if diversification is important to you. The sports betting industry is often overlooked by investors, despite offering great investment opportunities. The industry consists of great consumer discretionary stocks with strong outlooks, also making them value plays in their own right. Due to these factors, sports betting stocks

Lithium mining stocks have gained significant traction in the past few years. The many use cases of lithium have resulted in exponential growth estimates for the industry (19.57% per year until 2028).

In the burgeoning intelligence economy, data stands as the linchpin of innovation. By 2025, six billion consumers are expected to tap into data every 18 seconds, bolstered by IoT devices producing a staggering 79 zettabytes (ZB). Looking back at 2020, the International Data Corporation highlighted a massive 59ZB of data creation and capture, and with

Market participants are distinguishing EV sector leaders from laggards. Unsurprisingly, the electric vehicle category is positioned to grow quickly in the years to come. In fact, EV sales are projected to account for up 18% of total auto sales in 2025 and an estimated 60% of total sales by the end of the decade. This

Wall Street has been very upset about the results of the Federal Reserve meeting earlier this month. However, there are still many reasons to be optimistic about U.S. stocks — especially safer large-cap stocks — going forward. For one, I don’t think that the results of the meeting were actually as hawkish as the Street

Warren Buffett is truly the greatest investor of our lifetime. There is no one that even comes close to the 3,700,000% returns he generated between 1965 and 2022. That’s a return of almost 20% a year or twice that of the S&P 500 index. It’s why investors watch his every move. What stocks does he buy? Which ones

When you hear consumer stocks in an environment like this one, you automatically think of the negatives. After all, consumers are in a sticky situation as they grapple with persistently high inflation, wages that can’t keep up, and the threat of a prolonged recession. If they’re not already restricted with their finances, they’re battening down

When it comes to scouting potential high-growth opportunities, Nasdaq stocks often stand out as a top pick for many investors. Renowned for listing some of the most cutting-edge companies globally, the allure of significant returns is hard to ignore for those willing to tap into this innovation-driven marketplace.

If Congress fails to reach an agreement before 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1, the government will experience a shutdown since the current spending laws are set to expire on Sept. 30.

As autumn arrives, it’s time for investors to harvest the opportunities in beaten-down technology stocks. After a dismal year, many tech companies now trade at deep discounts despite improving economic conditions. Thus, investing in these stocks ahead of the crowd sets you up for a bumper crop of returns. While high inflation and rising rates

Technology stocks have made a strong comeback in 2023. For year-to-date, the Standards and Practices (S&P) 500 Information Technology index has surged by 33%. Within the broader technology sector, AI stock have witnessed a massive rally. This is sparking people to seek out AI stocks to buy now. However, even with multi-year industry tailwinds, it’s

Cannabis stocks have navigated an extended period of uncertainty and financial depression thanks to regulatory headwinds. Further, most cannabis companies have witnessed an extended period of cash burn. There is, however, some optimism and I believe that these overlooked cannabis stocks to buy should be considered. The good news is that even without federal level

The so-called “Magnificent 7” stocks surged in 2023, contributing to a market rebound in an outsized manner. The stocks’ presumed overrepresentation has investors considering other investments in their place. While tech has been the clear winner thus far in 2023, there’s plenty of reason to assume that other sectors will be strong moving forward.  That

If an investor had bought $100 of META stock ten years ago, it would now be worth $646.47 at the current price of $305.07. Meta Platforms, with a market cap of $784.99 billion, is a

Biotech has long seemed to move slower than its fellow tech fields due to the complexity of biological systems and the difficulty of drug regulations. However, that precedent is set to change thanks to the growing implementation of artificial intelligence (AI), upending the field and bringing big changes to the industry. As a result, the

After a more-hawkish-than-expected speech from Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell this week, stocks are suddenly plummeting. The record AI-inspired performance that tech stocks had in the first half of 2023 is turning into a late-summer market crash.  Did the Fed pop the AI Bubble with its shockingly hawkish commentary? Are we going back to

Dubbed the Magnificent 7, shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) are just a few of the monopolistic mega-caps having their best year yet. As a result, even some of the top Magnificent 7 stock suppliers are having a solid year. With a

In the efficient U.S. stock market, fortunes are made and lost based on the right stock at the right time. In this context, three stocks have quietly captivated astute insiders’ attention.
