If you’re looking for stocks to avoid in 2022, I’ve got a hint. The Financial Times recently reported that global bond issues totaled $101 billion through Jan. 7, the second-highest amount to start a new year since 2002. The highest amount? $118 billion at the start of 2021. Here’s what FT had to say about

When the stock market performs badly, led by the decline in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, value investors should perk up. The lower stock prices get, the better the discount.

On Jan. 10, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) declared its second quarterly dividend in a row for first-quarter (Q1) 2022. This is after Ford stopped paying its quarterly dividend for almost two years on Jan. 8, 2020 (declaration date). I believe the resumption of its quarterly dividends is helping to push F stock higher. Source: JuliusKielaitis

I have a few personal nicknames for our own Louis Navellier. Ferrari Louis. Mister InvestorPlace. But whatever you might call him — good, bad or indifferent — he is universally considered outspoken. So, when Navellier becomes more opinionated than usual, such as his take on ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH), people should listen. For WISH stock, I don’t

Does your health insurance come with deductibles in the four figures? If so, you’re probably eligible to establish a Health Savings Account (HSA).

Over the past few years, I’ve been a big fan of Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU). I’ve written positively about ROKU stock during its good times in the second half of 2020 and early 2021, its bad times at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and in the second half of 2021, and its mediocre times in early
As investors we can do all the homework necessary to find opportunities. But sometimes the game becomes rigged – pun intended – thereby putting us at risk.

Among early stage electric vehicle (EV) stocks, Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is one that’s been placed in the winner’s circle even though it has yet to cross the finish line.

Dissimilar to any disruptive event in modern American history, the coronavirus pandemic is the first disaster that has affected everyone: across state borders, class and income spectrums and demographic categories.
