Stocks to buy

It’s not exactly easy for investors out there right now. For starters, there’s the current market turmoil surrounding the collapse of a number of regional banks. As if we needed that on top of the uncertainty over the direction of the broader economy and Federal Reserve interest rate policy. The recent volatility makes good stock

When we talk about a diversified portfolio, it would be a big mistake to ignore geographical diversification. In general, emerging markets will grow faster than developed markets through the decade. This will translate into relatively higher returns from an emerging market stock portfolio. Besides blue-chip stocks, there are several attractive emerging market penny stocks to consider. Several penny

The concept of buy and hold may seem out of fashion given the state of the market in 2023. But if the threat of higher interest rates hasn’t sent you to the sidelines, blue-chip stocks offer an opportunity to get a total return that can beat inflation. Today, we’ll look at seven of the best

With market uncertainty weighing on investor sentiment, market participants may want to concentrate on high-potential real estate investment trusts or REITs to buy. Primarily, this financial vehicle attracts buyers due to their typically strong yields. That’s because legal frameworks require REITs to pay 90% of their annual income as shareholder dividends. Another advantage to REITs

It feels strange to write an article about the best penny stock to buy on the same day Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell upended equity markets. In his testimony before the U.S. Congress, the Fed chairman reiterated that there would be no “Powell pivot” on interest rates. But he also said the Fed might have

The stock market continues to be volatile. After a strong rally in January, all major U.S. indices retreated in February, with the benchmark S&P 500 falling 2.6% during the month. While the ongoing churn is no doubt frustrating to investors, it presents a great time to buy undervalued stocks. There are bargains to be found

Although the overall stock market continues to be affected by macro uncertainties, some of the best penny stocks have already been off to a good start thus far in 2023. In fact, some of the names covered in past penny stock coverage have made their exit from penny stock territory. For instance, Comstock (NASDAQ:CHCI), a

Editor’s note: “Buy Psychedelics Stocks as the ‘Shroom Boom’ Takes Off” was previously published in July 2021. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available. Remember when marijuana used to be taboo? Back in 1970, President Richard Nixon passed the Controlled Substances Act as part of his “War on Drugs.” In

When it comes to penny stocks, a diligent look at fundamentals and insider activity should be key to your research. After all, penny stocks with strong insider buying can potentially be strong opportunities. How so? If an insider, such as a C-suite executive or board member, is buying additional shares with their own capital, it’s a

With the Federal Reserve perhaps poised to raise benchmark interest rates again, a temptation exists to avoid long-term growth stocks altogether.
