Stocks to buy

I hypothesize that retail investors don’t spend much time considering country-specific exchange traded funds (ETFs) to buy.  I don’t have empirical data to back up this assertion. However, it seems logical that most smaller investors are looking to get more bang for their buck. For example, why buy three or four country-specific emerging markets ETFs

Solar stocks, for the most part, ended 2021 on a weak note. Many investors decided to take money off the table following significant gains seen in alternative energy names. For instance, the Dow Jones U.S. Renewable Energy Equipment Total Stock Market Index was down 24.0% in 2021. Yet, despite the volatility in shares prices of

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) has had a rough several months.

The vehicle electrification trend may be going strong. But lately, that hasn’t meant much when it comes to the performance of electric vehicle (EV) stocks. After the infrastructure bill sent them surging again last fall, these names have since experienced a sharp pullback, as inflation/interest rate worries have led investors to hit the brakes on

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) proves there’s a price that’s too high, even for a good company in a hot niche. I will admit that I was caught off guard.

Last year was a mixed one for Chinese electric vehicle (EV) companies. Even with strong financial performances, stock upsides were capped with regulatory concerns.

“Buy low, sell high” is the mantra for success in the investing world. Consequently, investors are always looking for opportunities to scoop up cheap stocks that could offer incredible value over the long run.

Facebook Inc. did more than a simple name change when it took on the Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) moniker. It also put an emerging trend (the metaverse) on the map.

Perhaps no other market segment besides oil stocks have featured as strong a will-they, won’t-they narrative of pure binary chaos. At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, oil prices slipped to below zero, an unprecedented circumstance as the global economy ground to a halt.

The crypto market has sold off this month, fueling the debate about whether the bull run is coming to a halt. Industry leaders such as Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) have shed a fair share of their values in the past month.

This year’s Santa Claus rally was harder to spot than usual. It wasn’t system wide, as there are still giant pockets of weakness. The bifurcation is strange, and I don’t remember seeing this much disparity before. But this means that there are dozens of stocks to buy on discount. Investors have been punishing them relentlessly
