Stock Market

From ‘buy low, sell high’ to ‘bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered,’ Wall Street’s favorite maxims are as famous as some of the traders who live by them. You might be familiar with mine: As go earnings, so go stocks.  And right now, earnings are really good.  The more money a business

Editor’s note: “Want Unsurpassed Results in 2025? Follow Elon Musk’s Lead” was previously published in December 2024. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available. Autonomous vehicles, robotics, space, and AI – these are the industries that Elon Musk cares about most. And for that reason, we think the stocks therein

Happy 2025! It may be a new calendar year – but we don’t think “new year, new me” will translate for Wall Street. Instead, we think we’ll see more of the same in ‘25. And that means AI stocks should stay red-hot. Indeed, throughout 2024, the market soared, led by huge gains for AI trades.

As it often does this time of year, lately, it’s felt like we’re racing toward Christmas and New Year’s. Many folks are counting down the days until that fast-approaching holiday break, very much looking forward to some time off spent with loved ones. But in fact, the Yuletide isn’t the only exciting thing that December

The 2024 holiday shopping season is off to a red-hot start. And that means that if you’re looking to make a quick year-end profit, it could be time to buy consumer retail stocks.  Indeed, according to new data from Adobe Analytics, this is shaping up to be possibly the best holiday shopping season since 2020. 

Elon Musk wagered a huge bet on Donald Trump winning the White House – and that bet is already paying off. Musk spent about $130 million on the Trump campaign and related conservative efforts. And ever since it became clear that Trump won a second term in the White House, Tesla (TSLA) stock has surged

Keeping with the theme of the week, stocks’ fast-and-furious rally continued again today. Indeed, it was a really, really good day for the markets.  Sure, at the headline level, the Nasdaq only climbed about 1.5%, while the S&P 500 rose just 0.7%. That’s a pretty normal “good day” for Wall Street; nothing to write home

Let’s skip right to what you came here for: the type of stocks to buy under Trump’s second term. Many investors expect a Trump administration to have significant implications for the stock market and various sectors of the economy. Indeed, the markets are buzzing with certainty for the near-term, but is that accurate? And how

When it comes to making money in the stock market, I’ve found that one of the best approaches is to invest in problem-solving businesses. After all, companies that figure out how to solve a widespread problem can generate sustainable demand, revenues, and profits. And that should all lead to higher stock prices.  By that logic,

For the past several months, talk of an ‘AI bubble’ has been a media mainstay. I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines – ‘Will AI Be a Bust? A Wall Street Skeptic Rings the Alarm,’ ‘The Thrill of AI Is Fading,’ ‘Wall Street Sounds AI Bubble Alarm.’ But the truth is, the AI Boom remains alive

For the past several weeks, amid a flurry of positive developments in the self-driving industry, we have been pounding the table on autonomous vehicle stocks.  Indeed, just consider: Waymo is already delivering 100,000-plus autonomous rides per week throughout Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. And it’s set to expand to Austin, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia

The third-quarter earnings season has officially begun, kicked off today by big-name banks like JPMorgan (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC), and BlackRock (BLK). All topped earnings expectations.  Now, this is just a taste of the results to come. But despite the market’s uncertainty surrounding inflation and incoming rate cuts, we’re confident this earnings season will help

When a revolutionary new product launches, what’s the best way to invest in its success? By buying that product-maker’s stock… right? Maybe not.  Just consider: ever since Apple (AAPL) launched the first iPhone in June 2007, Apple stock has taken off like a rocket ship. It has risen more than 6,000% in value since that

Self-driving cars – they’ve hogged a large portion of the news cycle lately.  Indeed, earlier this week, Gov. Gavin Newsom made headlines when he vetoed a bill that would have banned autonomous vehicles (AVs) from operating in the state of California. Then, just yesterday, Waymo started offering driverless rides to some folks in Austin, Texas.

About a month ago, I flew home from a work trip into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. It was late. My wife and kids were asleep. So, I fetched a ride from a ride-hailing app. The car arrived. It took me to my home in the suburbs. Dropped me off.  It was a typical ride-hailing

For the past several months – really, since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022 – we’ve been laser-focused on all things artificial intelligence. And of course, the AI Boom that’s unfolding right now presents a lot of opportunities as well as risks. I mean, just imagine. This powerful tech could do things like help researchers develop

Today, stocks are rallying to fresh record highs. Though, that’s not necessarily news; it’s been happening all year long. But I’d argue that today is much more than just your average “good day” on Wall Street. In fact, this could be the Street’s best day of 2024.   Now, that’s not because stocks are posting their

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has been living in the shadow of its larger rival, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), for quite some time now. In less than a year, AMD has gone from being seen as a peer to Nvidia to more of a “Nvidia-lite” in the eyes of many investors. The stock tends to move in tandem
