There’s a good-news, bad-news situation happening now with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). It’s getting a lot of coverage in the financial press, but it’s not positive coverage. Still, long-term shareholders should adopt a “This, too, shall pass” perspective and not panic-sell Microsoft stock. Microsoft isn’t to blame for the negative news, unless you fault them for relying
The extended bull market we are in has not been one where a rising tide lifts all boats. The S&P 500 is up 15% year-to-date and is 52% higher since October 2022 when the latest run-up began. While a lot of the gains for the benchmark index can be tied to how well the Magnificent
Leading contract chip manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) has undeniably been a market darling so far in 2024.

When Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock rolled out its AI-generative search feature named Search Generative Experience (SGE), it was perhaps the biggest change to its Google product ever.

Walmart (NYSE:WMT) reported strong financial results for the first quarter, and the giant retailer is extremely profitable and has several highly promising initiatives at this point.

Disney (NYSE:DIS) is in a place it is not very familiar with. While its theme parks have long been the mortar that held the Magic Kingdom together, its linear television business is in a difficult spot and until only very recently, its movies and streaming shows were a disaster.

Electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar Automotive (NASDAQ:PSNY) produces cars that are stylish and powerful. Yet, this doesn’t ensure that Polestar’s shareholders will succeed in the long run.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock is finally in the grip of the AI fever. The iPhone maker traded at 52-week lows of $164 mid-April. In three months, Apple stock surged by 35% and trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 30.3. I believe that valuations are stretched, considering the company’s revenue and earnings growth trajectory. A correction
With many expecting Trump to win the election in November, his economic policies could significantly impact stock prices.

Congress has an uncanny knack for making remarkably well-timed stock trades. They pinky swear they are not buying and selling stock based on insider information culled from their regulation of the companies. Yet the politicians tend to dramatically outperform the S&P 500. One of the best at this is former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Her
Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) investors are pretty happy these days. The Peter Thiel-founded data analytics firm has seen its share price rally nearly 68% since the start of the current year.
