Stocks to buy

[embedded content] A new revolution is brewing in the automotive market. And the types of EV stocks you buy will depend entirely on a brand-new, underrated megatrend in the electric car industry: The Great EV Consolidation. In short, the number of electric vehicle companies will dramatically shrink over the next few years, not unlike that

Maybe they’re all driving themselves. Maybe they’re all connected to this smart city grid of highways and roads. That’s the future of transportation that most people

Real estate investment trusts, or REITs, are companies that own income-producing property. They are attractive investments because they must distribute a minimum of 90% of their taxable profits as dividends to investors. Investing in REITs will make your portfolio more diverse. Each REIT has a different investment focus, ranging from office buildings and shopping malls

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock would benefit if a proposed deal in the Senate becomes the law of the land. The government might not be early in supporting the electric vehicle revolution, but it looks like some politicians are definitely on board. Tesla and other EV makers don’t need backing from Capitol Hill right now, but it certainly

There’s good news for Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) investors as the energy company just revealed its second-quarter 2022 financial results. Long-side traders have a number of positive data points to bolster their bullish argument for XOM stock. Additionally, the proposed Inflation Reduction Act could potentially provide a big win for Exxon Mobil. In a time when flows

The electric vehicle boom is only set to accelerate, which makes now a great time to look for electric vehicle stocks trading at a discount. Global leaders are demanding millions of EV on the roads in an effort to reduce emissions. The U.S. wants to reduce emissions by 52%. Europe is targeting 55%. China even says

Yesterday, something major happened that you probably didn’t even know about. Yet, it could be the key to you striking it rich in the EV Revolution. Electric truck maker Nikola (NKLA) acquired beaten-up electric battery maker Romeo Power (RMO) for $144 million. Ostensibly, that headline seems somewhat meaningless. Nikola isn’t a very serious player in

The Nasdaq has a reputation for being the home of aggressive hypergrowth companies — firms that can go up five- or tenfold in a year and sometimes crash just as quickly. Most investors probably wouldn’t imagine creating a buy-and-hold forever portfolio filled with Nasdaq stocks. However, the Nasdaq actually offers a lot of variety. While

[embedded content] All over the world, we’re hitting new hottest-on-record temperatures. And it’s really straining the energy grid. And we need to reinvent the wheel on how we produce, store, and distribute energy. More people than ever are using more energy than ever, so we are in dire need of solutions. I believe they don’t

[embedded content] These two point-of-sale companies are very similar. But Block (SQ) is for companies and businesses that sell goods, while SoFi (SOFI) is for consumers who buy goods. Block is in direct competition with CashApp with its software and hardware systems. However, in the long run, I think that SoFi is far superior to

Some folks might pigeonhole IBM (NYSE:IBM) as an old-school business — the type of company your grandfather might have invested in. Don’t jump to any hasty conclusions, though. IBM stock might not be “sexy” or controversial, but it offers terrific growth prospects. Granted, broad-market worries about technology stocks might make it emotionally difficult to invest in

Theme park and streaming content company Disney (NYSE:DIS) has been in the headlines lately. However, the focus hasn’t been on any of Disney’s magical characters. Rather, the buzz has been about CEO Bob Chapek getting a three-year contract extension. The impact on DIS stock has been ho-hum, but commentators on social media are still talking about

Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) stock could be on the cusp of surging. The bank passed its stress test earlier this month and subsequently raised its dividend to 22 cents per share. I know many investors might fear a recession. However, there’s always uncertainty around. I’d rather buy banking stocks below book value instead of investing

U.S. President Joe Biden will decide whether to cancel any further student debt. He has already canceled $400 billion of student loans; therefore, there is hope that further relief is around the corner. In addition, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said the government could extend the student loan payment pause beyond Aug. 31. Both

Investing in financial stocks is not just about picking the largest and most-known banks. Financial stocks include banks, insurance companies, firms that provide various financial services, financial technology (fintech) firms, and blockchain technology companies. The best financial stocks to buy in July 2022 were chosen from a myriad of choices with features that will justify

Shares of credit card company Visa (NYSE:V) are ripe for the picking. At roughly $200 a share, V stock is down 10% on the year and 20% below its 52-week high of $252.67. This presents an attractive entry point for investors who want to own a leading blue-chip stock that should thrive in the current

As we head into the year’s second half, the U.S. stock is off to its worst start in over 50 years. The S&P 500 index has had its weakest showing since 1970, as the Federal Reserve continues raising interest rates to fight inflationary pressures. Historically speaking, the stock market has always rebounded, so it’s important

Though it’s tough to recognize the opportunity at the moment, bear market cycles offer a compelling entry point to some of the best bargain stocks to buy. Certain companies in particular have suffered substantial double-digit losses over the trailing month, which ordinarily isn’t a great sign. However, bearish traders may have gone too far as

[embedded content] As it’s apt to do, TikTok started a major conversation this week. A viral TikTok video featured a man ordering, hopping in and taking a ride in a driverless taxi. That begged the question, is self-driving car tech ready? Only a few cities that have this technology right now. But we’re nearing the
