If you, like many economists, believe that the U.S. is headed for a recession this year, you may wonder when to sell cyclical stocks. Cyclical stocks rise and fall with the economy.

As was widely expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve again raised interest rates, lifting its key rate by 25 basis points to a range of 5% to 5.25%. Interest rates in America are now at their highest level in 16 years. While higher rates might tame inflation in the long run, they are likely to slow

Artificial intelligence (AI) stocks are one of the hottest trends of the year, and with good reason. Almost every week, it seems, we see some exciting new development with AI-powered text, images and even animation.

Given the S&P 500’s 7.3% year-to-date advance and the threat of a recession in the second half of the year or early 2024, overvalued S&P 500 stocks are more prevalent than investors realize.   At the end of February, JPMorgan Chase strategists suggested that because of real interest rates, stocks were 2.5 times too expensive. “Risk-reward for

The stock market is back on the upswing. Traders are feeling more optimistic, and perhaps with good reason. But this enthusiasm has run much too far in some sectors.

While not repeating the mantra that electric vehicles are the future can get you into trouble with the sector loyalists, we must at least agree that at least some enterprises deserve the title of worst EV stocks to sell.
