Stocks to buy

When it comes to the holidays and investing, retail stocks may be what first comes to mind. After all, once the plates are cleared for Thanksgiving dinner, what comes next? Black Friday and the mad dash of shoppers to the big box stores and malls in the weeks leading up to Christmas. But along with

As the first wave of the pandemic swept across countries in 2020, consumer spending fell dramatically. And companies rely on consumers to buy their goods and services. So, when consumer spending plateaued, consumer stocks also were in freefall. But the time is ripe for investors to get involved again. The consumer sector consists of companies

On Oct. 14, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a report that tries to explain the saga that pushed up GameStop (NASDAQ:GME) over 10 times in price this year.

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) announced on Nov. 15 that a number of its original shareholders were going to sell some of their shares.

The resulting sale of SOFI stock has pushed down the price by about

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) might be on cloud nine after posting another solid quarter of earnings. Altogether, when you add in several contract wins, it seems like the data analytics company can’t put a foot wrong. However, there are genuine concerns about overvaluation here. Right now, PLTR stock is trading at nearly 110 times forward earnings, according

With ample liquidity in the financial system, 2021 has been a banner year for wealth creation. Be it equities or cryptocurrency, multifold returns over just a few months or even weeks have been frequent. Of course, there have been speculative stocks to buy among the top performers. However, I prefer to focus on non-speculative stories

It may not be the “end all, be all” development for Bionano Genomics (NASDAQ:BNGO). But its strong fiscal performance last quarter isn’t something that should be ignored.

Markets stumbled on Wednesday, but not really. The small caps fell 1.3%, but the S&P 500 was barely negative 0.3%. In reality, Wednesday was just another day but with pockets of weaknesses. Among them, there were stocks to buy off their major support levels. This makes today’s thesis be somewhat technical but not entirely. First,

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) reported results for its first quarter as a publicly traded company this week. If Lucid was an established automaker like General Motors (NYSE:GM) or Toyota (NYSE:TM), we would be talking about the bottom line. For what it’s worth, the electric vehicle startup lost 43 cents per share for the third quarter, much

Lately, there hasn’t been too much excitement around Nokia (NYSE:NOK) — at least compared to the jaw-dropping spike it experienced during the “meme stock” phenomenon earlier this year. Or, the more gradual run-up that NOK stock saw during the summer, thanks to company-specific factors. Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com It seems that the meme crowd has turned

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) just released its Q3 financial results on Nov. 15, showing that its order book is growing nicely.

As we watch asset classes of almost every stripe reach astonishing heights, it seems as if nothing has gone according to intuition and logic following the initial strike of the novel coronavirus. But one of the most conspicuous examples of almost nonsensical circumstances is the labor market. Simply, many industries are suffering from a labor

There’s a pretty good chance that you haven’t spent much of your time thinking about functional materials.

Investors who seek a quick path to wealth will often fail. Speculators risk reacting too emotionally if a stock drops while they watch its movements like a hawk. Conversely, investors who search for stocks to buy and hold for the very long term will have more patience. Taking the time to research a company’s prospects

Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) bulls are finally rejoicing. Shares shot up after Indonesia, one of the top five most populous countries globally, greenlighted its vaccine recently. That came on the heels of the biotech filing emergency use authorization (EUA) packages with several authorities, including the world health organization (WHO) and the European Union (E.U.). All of this

GameStop (NYSE:GME) looks like it could be turning the corner financially. In its fiscal second-quarter results released on Sept. 8, sales rose to $1.183 billion from $942 million last year.

Still stuck trading between $20 and $30 per share, it may seem like Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is never bouncing back.

I have written several articles about AT&T (NYSE:T) and its proposed dividend cut. Suffice it to say that once the company spins off its Warner Media division and combines it with Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:DISCA), the dividend will be cut. That should occur sometime in 2022. For now, though, we can estimate where T stock will
