When it comes to deciding which AI stock to buy, I think there’s a reason for investors to take an optimistic and bullish view longer-term. The idea that we’re going to need increased efficiency to see productivity growth isn’t a new one. We’re just shifting the burden away from machines to computing systems, but the

In the investment realm, ChatGPT stock predictions have sparked intrigue among market enthusiasts of late. Since its launch last November, the powerful AI chatbot has effectively carved a niche in research, organizing copious amounts of data and pointing toward some of the best long-term stocks to buy. Its responses, while rich in company knowledge, sometimes

Nio (NYSE:NIO) has been on a rollercoaster ride in 2023, with massive price fluctuations seen in recent months. Naturally, investors may wonder whether Nio could generate exceptional returns like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDF) over the long-run. In my opinion, Nio certainly has considerable upside potential over the next 5-10 years. However, it also faces

PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) may tempt contrarian investors. Right now, PYPL stock trades for only 10.8 times earnings. A very low valuation, when compared to their competitors’ valuations. Square and Cash App parent Block (NYSE:SQ), for example, trades at a relatively lofty 25.2 times forward earnings. Other popular fintech names, like SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), have yet

A few weeks back, I wrote an (admittedly early) earnings preview for QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). I argued that while a post-earnings surge for QS stock was possible in theory, shares would not spike. It’s too late to lay out another prediction for how the stock could perform in response to earnings, much less place a pre-earnings

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) stock hasn’t benefited even after it announced it would pursue a series of layoffs, would be cutting 12,000 jobs or 6% of the total workforce. Job cuts are not new for the tech industry. Earlier in the year, competitors Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) laid off a combined 28,000 workers, as they predicted

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is well known for being among the leading student loan financing companies in the market. However, as I’ve pointed out in recent pieces, SoFi stock is evolving into more than a one-dimensional player. This company is now a one-stop financial solution provider, with a strong focus on student loan refinancing. There’s a

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is just the largest of four Chinese electric vehicle names traded in New York. The others are Xpeng (NASDAQ:XPEV), Nio (NYSE:NIO), and Polestar (NASDAQ:PSNY). The last is based in Sweden but controlled by Geely (OTCMKTS:GELYF), a Chinese company. There are others. BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDF) is the largest, by far, but they’re not

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is one of the most divisive stocks in the market today. On one side, legions of retail investors have passionately bought into the stock, fueling wild price swings and helping it become a poster child of the meme stock phenomenon. Conversely, traditional investors focusing on fundamentals have warned that the company’s deteriorating

Covered call stocks allow investors to earn additional income from their positions. It’s a second dividend, and most publicly traded stocks are eligible for covered calls. You need to own 100 shares to sell a covered call. The seller receives a premium, but is obligated to sell their 100 shares at the designated strike price.

With a few exceptions, healthcare stocks have had a rough go of it in 2023. The Standards and Practices (S&P) 500 Healthcare Index is down 5% year to date, versus a 13% increase in the benchmark S&P 500 index. Most healthcare stocks are down across the board. Pharma companies, health insurers and medical device manufacturers

Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY) presents an intriguing opportunity, especially when looking at TLRY stock in the cannabis sector. Tilray has established itself as a pioneer in the global cannabis and consumer goods sector, with a relatively diverse product line. This Canada-based cannabis company has a presence in North America, Europe and Australia, with a focus on

Business is great at Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), but NVDA stock is looking just a bit ragged. For the first time in years, a move up didn’t hit the old high. The August peak of $493/share was followed by an October peak of $469. But even that looks far off from the $429/share it was trading at

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has seen its stock price surge more than 20% year-to-date. However, this move follows a significant correction last year tied to the company’s cash burn and dilutive stock offerings, reminiscent of a similar history behind industry juggernauts such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Rivian currently offers three models, its RS1 and RT1 pickup trucks

Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST) provides a platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and (hopefully) improve the lending process. Some folks might want to buy UPST stock because they envision a robust future for this type of technology. However, investing in Upstart is something that should be done in moderation, if at all, in 2023. To put

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock had a turbulent year, surging initially but dropping recently due to concerns about its performance and profitability. Shares are down 44% since August, due to somewhat disappointing Q1 results and no profit outlook for the new fiscal year. This has raised concerns about the company’s relatively high valuation. Here’s what you need to

On October 16, Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) celebrated its 100th anniversary. It’s too bad the good news will have little effect on DIS stock. It could use a big boost right now. As for its anniversary, Walt and Roy Disney agreed in October 1923 to create the animated film series “Alice Comedies” under Disney Brothers. Three

Robotic devices enable automation that help people perform tasks more effectively. Businesses and consumers frequently invest in resources that can expand their productivity and capabilities. This makes investing in robotics stocks a lucrative concept. Robots are present in many elements of our lives. Smart speakers can play music, provide weather updates and turn on the

PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) remains the leader of the fintech space while it continues to increase and is still quite profitable. Moreover, PYPL stock trades at bargain-basement levels and has a new, up-and-coming CEO. Additionally, I believe the Street is overly worried about threats to PayPal’s dominance. Given all these points, growth-at-a-reasonable price (GARP) investors should buy

sThe economy has gone through its fair share of ebb and flow throughout the past year. Concerns are mounting that the economic consequences of the Federal Reserve’s tight monetary policies might intensify in 2024. Investors hope for a “soft landing” for the United States economy and hope to avoid a severe recession. Although no longer
