Those holding REITs have seen their portfolios lag behind in recent years, with the sector struggling under the weight of rising interest rates. The current economic climate has been particularly harsh on REITs, which are feeling the strain from increased borrowing costs and a shift in investor preference towards safer fixed-income assets. In particular, with

The stock market is currently in a rotation. Traders are moving capital from aggressive growth and technology names to find safety in other sectors of the market.

U.S. stock markets are rising back again, but is it prudent to let loose bet on a risky play like GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock?

As the markets continue to change and more economic indicators cross their yield, signaling turbulence ahead, it is time to review your investment portfolio. Due to bad conditions, it may be a good idea to reassess holdings in communication, technology, and consumer discretionary sectors. Despite all the recent clutter on AI and other innovations, technology

Suddenly we’re headed for a recession. Or so it seems on Wall Street. Weak jobs and manufacturing data raised fears that the economy is slowing more rapidly than expected. This has led to an acceleration of the stock market selloff that began in July, with the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite index officially entering a correction, defined

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has been one of the hottest stocks of 2024, with shares nearly doubling year-to-date on the wave of artificial-intelligence (AI) hype.

There’s more to come, according to the earnings release. Third quarter revenue was estimated

Earnings season for this year’s second quarter rolls on. And while the results have been largely better than expected, some prints have been real doozies. Certain companies have seen their share price fall by 15% or more in a single day after they delivered financial results and guidance than fell short of Wall Street expectations.

During his brief tenure as a Senator for the state of Ohio, Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance introduced the Drive American Act, which was intended to eliminate over $100 billion in existing electric vehicle (EV) subsidies and replace them with the America First Vehicle Credit to promote gas-powered vehicles made in the United States.

Index funds that follow popular benchmarks like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite have delivered impressive returns for long-term investors. However, the Russell 2000 is a different story. To be fair, this index hasn’t exactly lost money. It’s up by 12% year-to-date due to a July rally bringing it up from breakeven. However, the

Things are getting difficult for technology stocks. The rotation of investor capital out of the mega-cap tech names that led the market rally in the year’s first half is accelerating.
