And that’s why A-rated stocks to buy are key to navigating now and into 2022. Supply chain issues are creating havoc in the global markets

Even though Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has a $2.275 trillion market cap, its massive free cash flow (FCF) could push its value even higher. In fact, my calculations show that MSFT stock could trade between 12.6% to 27% higher. Based on its Oct. 14 closing price of $302.75, that puts its value between $340.90 and $384.80 per

With its drop-off in price since last month’s short-squeeze rally, Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG) may look to many like a “flavor of the month” penny stock.

Since I’ve begun eating Tattooed Chef’s (NASDAQ:TTCF) meals, and since the company made an important deal with Kroger’s (NYSE:KR), I’ve become bullish on TTCF stock.

Overall, one of the main catalysts for President Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory was his stance on the novel coronavirus pandemic. Leading up to the election, former President Donald Trump’s administration made critical errors, primarily flirting with unsubstantiated Covid-19 allegations which undid the good of Operation Warp Speed.
