Stocks to buy

With October in the rearview mirror, it might be the perfect time to look for Nasdaq stocks to buy.  How’s that, you wonder, given the Nasdaq Composite is down more than 33% year-t0-date? Well, InvestorPlace’s Luke Lango recently discussed the history of bear markets. Lango’s argument that stocks would soar over the next six months

Investors may want to target small-cap stocks to buy. Understandably, smaller and therefore less-proven enterprises present higher risks, which is why some folks avoid the sector. Nevertheless, because they’re so small, they offer tremendous upside should broader circumstances turn favorably. Also, small-cap stocks to buy may benefit from less attention. As an emotional Jim Cramer

Today I am writing about six of the best blue-chip stocks under $20 that are worth buying now. These stocks also have the distinction of having very low price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples and producing enough earnings to cover dividend payments to shareholders. It’s actually harder than you think to find these stocks. Typically if a company

What’s fascinating about video-game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock is that its price moves aren’t always related to video games. There’s an ongoing battle between the “diamond hands” and the short sellers, and the amateur traders could prevail in the end. So, a small $100 wager is worthwhile, as the risk is minimal and the potential returns

As many commentators have pointed out recently, the stock market is pricing in a recession that’s not going to arrive anytime soon. As a result, there are now many good stocks to buy on weakness. The best stocks to buy on a dip are the names that have plunged tremendously even though they’re growing quickly

So far this year, broad markets have declined thanks to high inflation and an uncertain economic outlook. Unfortunately, the situation is unlikely to change soon. In addition, the Federal Reserve continues to be hawkish. JP Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) found that between early Jan. and Oct. 18, retail investor portfolios in the U.S. were down 44%.

Chinese stocks have been beaten down in recent months. However, the broad group of China-based U.S.-listed stocks has taken another turn downward, reacting poorly to the recently-completed National Chinese Party Congress. Held from Oct. 16 to Oct. 22, 2022, the Party Congress saw many new President Xi Jinping allies added. When this meeting of high-ranking

Everyone defines “boring stocks” differently, and everyone has their own ideas about criteria for the best boring stocks.  For example, I consider Mexican cement producer Cemex to be an incredibly dull stock. However, if you are in the construction industry, Cemex’s products aren’t dull; actually, they’re vital to your livelihood and well-being. So rather than

[Editor’s note: “Finding the Best Stocks to Buy Amid Market Volatility” was previously published in October 2022. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] It’s been a crazy year in the markets, huh? But what if I told you that all this craziness is actually creating the opportunity of the

The S&P 500 has been in bear-market territory for more than a month, but it is breaking higher this week. We think there is reason to hope the trend will continue. The first sign of hope is traders have reduced their leverage and margin debt has returned to a more sustainable level. Traders (you included)

Any discussion regarding the best dividend stocks of all time begins and ends with the Dividend Aristocrats. They are S&P 500 companies that have increased their annual dividend payment for at least 25 consecutive years. There are currently 65 names on this prestigious list. While there is no question the 65 Dividend Aristocrats have staying power,

I’m no long-term fan of Big Tech stocks. Just earlier this year, I made the bold claim that Big Tech stocks were dead, calling for the demise of giants like Meta (META), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Nvidia (NVDA), and Amazon (AMZN). Since then, those stocks have all collapsed more than 20%. But that was then –

In the late stages of the bull market, irrational exuberance caused investors to bid electric vehicle stocks up to ridiculous valuations. Then fears of rising interest rates and an economic slowdown caused the bubble to burst. Shares of EV companies, many of which were unprofitable or barely profitable, came crashing down. Even the best electric

It’s true that the troika of Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Meta (NASDAQ:META), much loved by the Street for the decade that ended in mid-2021, reported disappointing third-quarter results. Once viewed as beyond reproach by most, those three stocks are now being shunned and scorned by the “smart money.” But the Street is finally

An income-rich retirement requires a lot of planning. There are many things that retirees must do in order to ensure that their golden years will be financially comfortable. IRAs, a 401k, HSAs, annuities, pensions, current earnings, and expected age at retirement are just a few of the items to consider. However, it all comes down

There’s nothing wrong with holding a portfolio consisting of boring stocks. You know, the kind of steady blue-chip stocks that don’t necessarily perform as well in a bull market but hold steady in a bear market? In recent years, surges in key market growth areas led many investors to avoid boring stocks like the plague.

Much like the first half of the year, the second half started out just as rough. However, there are still top stocks to watch. As inflation remains stubbornly high, consumers are struggling. Nearly 63% of Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck. Thus, there are clear recession fears brewing. This is based mainly on the

Suffice it to say that neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) hasn’t rewarded its shareholders in 2022 so far. Could a $100 wager on SOFI stock turn into a multi-bagger in the long run, though? It’s possible, as SoFi Technologies is steering toward profitability — and just maybe, a little compassion from the U.S. Federal Reserve will bolster

In financial markets, cash flows, growth outlook and valuation does matter. However, investor sentiment plays a key role in driving growth stocks higher or lower. When the economic outlook is positive and the financial system has ample liquidity, growth stocks tend to command a valuation premium. On the other hand, when the economic outlook weakens

Along with most of the market, these top mortgage REITs to buy have been trounced. Most of this can be traced back to rising interest rates. After all, higher rates typically reduce net interest margins, reduce the value of mortgage-backed securities, and increase concerns that those with variable-rate mortgages won’t be able to make payments. However,
