Stocks to buy

An excellent way to find stocks to buy is by examining the holdings of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on the subject matter you’re interested in. In this case, safe blue-chip stocks. Investopedia defines blue-chip stocks as follows: “These are typically large, well-established, and financially sound companies that have operated for many years and that

Quantum computers might be capable of breaking encryption, solving physics, and many other processes classical computers can’t. The quantum computing stocks that can monetize this business could be set for big gains. The most popular potential application for quantum computers

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) has gone on an impressive run over the past two weeks, rallying 38%. In fact, the cryptocurrency looks like it may be on its way back to $30,000. Not only is that great news for BTC investors, but it’s also a solid catalyst for crypto miners. That’s because mining revenue depends on the

The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that by 2025, 35% of the world’s electricity supply will be renewable energy. If that’s not a reason to consider renewable energy stocks to buy, I don’t know what is.  In fact, according to the IEA, most of the increased demand for electricity over the next three years will

For this column, I will define “hot gaming stocks” as companies in the gambling and video-game sectors that have positive momentum. In the U.S., gambling stocks are generally poised to generate strong results.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is more than a graphics processing unit maker for video game consoles. The company is also deeply involved in the artificial intelligence space. Even if you believe that NVDA stock has gone too high and can’t keep going, think again. A fresh upgrade indicates that Nvidia’s shareholders may enjoy more gains before the year is

Demand for electric vehicles. There are plenty of factors driving this demand, which has led to surging valuations among top EV stocks. However, it’s clear that governments and investors are focused on electrification as a key toward creating a greener and cleaner future. While Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is a leader in the industry and already enjoys a first-mover advantage,

What if there was a “miracle drug” out there that could entirely eradicate mental illness?  I’m talking gut-wrenching and tough-to-treat diseases like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, substance abuse, and more.  Those illnesses are a serious problem. Nearly 1 billion suffer from a mental illness at any given time. That’s over 10% of the

The market’s winds have changed direction over the past few weeks. Up until recently, growth stocks were in the doghouse as investors fretted about falling revenue growth rates and mounting layoffs in the technology industry. But now, Wall Street’s worries have turned to the banking sector. A series of major banking failures in March have

Investing in the best lithium stocks to buy can prove to be incredibly lucrative. The electric vehicles sector, in particular, is expected to be a focal point in driving long-term growth in the space.

The tech industry continues to hand out pink slips to employees as the threat of a recession grows every day. Yet, despite the clouds in the distance, investors continue to debate whether it’s wiser to buy stocks that are poised for growth or ones brimming with value.  As CNBC contributor Bob Pisani sees it, value

Sometimes, bad news is good news. History says that’s the case for the recent string of high-profile bank failures.  Over the past two weeks, the banking sector has imploded.  Silicon Valley Bank failed first. Days later, Signature Bank collapsed. Those were the second- and the third-largest bank failures in U.S. history. Then a week later,

There are plenty of reasons why investors believe a major recession could be on the horizon. Sticky and persistent inflation has continued to put pressure on low- and middle-income workers. The impressive rate-hiking cycles by the Federal Reserve and other global central banks have attempted to tamp down economic activity to constrain rising prices. These

Stock market investors have been on a rollercoaster ride over the past year. The Federal Reserve continues to be hawkish in controlling inflation. All while the global economic backdrop is marred by China and the Russia/Ukraine War. Therefore, investing in defensive investment options, such as the best healthcare stocks to buy, is perhaps a more

While it’s always a good idea to balance your portfolio with defensive stocks, the present chaos dramatically incentivizes this subsegment. As you’ve no doubt heard, the U.S. and the rest of the world presently reel from two major banks failing. Moreover, the main concern centers on the contagion spreading to other components of the global

With market anxieties rising to the forefront, investors inherently seek protection, which bodes well for gold stocks to buy. To be fair, the yellow metal historically garnered criticism because, at the end of the day, it’s just a commodity. Gold doesn’t hire workers, it doesn’t generate earnings and most importantly, it has a yield (passive

If a tech-related trend is hotter than artificial intelligence (AI), I’d love to know what it is. Everyone seems to be developing something AI-related, which is why investors have gotten excited about artificial intelligence ETFs. Why try to pick the next developer of a ChatGPT-like product when you can invest in a collection of AI-related businesses

The sooner we join the transition towards Electric vehicles (EVs), the better it is for the environment. Whether you like it or not, countries are taking significant steps to ensure the efficient adoption and penetration of EVs. Besides government policies and subsidies, increased consumer interest continues to power the valuations of top EV stocks. The

It’s the best time for investors to look for Chinese stocks to buy, as the country starts to reopen fully. Many Chinese companies were hit hard last year due to strict zero-COVID policies, which substantially decreased domestic demand.

When it comes to finding good pharma stocks to buy, I try to focus on companies that are developing drugs that can help huge numbers of people.
