Stocks to buy

I’ve had my eye on Nio (NYSE:NIO) for a while now. I first bought NIO stock in June 2020 when it was less than $8 per share. I sold a little more than a year later when it was close to $50. Source: xiaorui / Shutterstock.com Sure, Nio was already off its all-time high at

We had another mixed day on Wall Street on Wednesday, suggesting a lack of commitment. The Nasdaq rose 0.4%, while the small caps fell twice as much. Meanwhile, the CBOE Volatility index (VIX) fell 4%, which suggests that sentiment is normalizing. Meanwhile, investors are flip-flopping with the slightest of headlines. Therefore, finding stocks to buy

Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ:UPST) was one of the big investment growth stories of 2021. At least, until last October. At that point, UPST stock crashed and it also became a cautionary tale about the downside of meme stocks. Upstart shares are now trading at around $120, which is right about where they were last June. They’re

It’s the start of a new year, and what better time to consider adding to your investment portfolio? After the holiday shopping season, big purchases may not be in the cards, though. So I’ve put together a list of stocks to buy that come in under $10 a share. One of the advantages of stocks

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) emerged as one of the biggest stock market winners last year. NVDA stock generated over 120% returns for its investors in the past 12-months. Though its share price has gotten slightly ahead of itself, the chipmakers glowing reports justify its lofty valuation. Moreover, there’s still plenty of upside remaining with Nvidia, with it

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) has been falling for the past several months. This might make it appealing to value seekers. AMC stock is now down $22.78 per share as of Jan. 10. But this is down from its recent peak of $51.69 on Sept. 13. That gives it a tumble of 55% from the peak. Source: QualityHD

Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) is making great progress in manufacturing and generating orders for its battery-electric and hydrogen heavy-duty commercial trucks. With businesses and governments seeking to reduce carbon emissions in the U.S. and Europe, Nikola’s status as a first-mover in environmentally friendly semi-trucks should enable it to post great financial results over the longer term. Consequently,

Remember the days when Ford (NYSE:F) was the poster child of relatively safe, but ultra-slow investments? Those days are long gone, as F stock has provided jaw-dropping returns over the past year and a half.

There seems to be a shift in the market. Speculative growth stocks and cryptocurrency, among other hot 2021 trends, have slumped in recent months. Meanwhile, more defensive stocks such as energy, utilities, industrials and food and beverage companies are rising. Amid these shifting sectoral winds, it’s time to take a look at infrastructure stocks. Infrastructure

Ah, the joys of the content publication stream! During the time that this story about potential entertainment stocks jumping higher due to consumers wanting out of novel coronavirus-related restrictions was initially researched, the omicron variant dominated headlines. But recently, infectious disease experts identified a new variant in France. Are we on the verge of yet

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. Since Oct. 26, when the company released its third quarter results, HOOD stock has fallen from $39.57 to, as of Jan. 7, $15.75. That represents a decline of just over 60%.

Opening at $2735.27 on Friday, Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares dropped 4.7% on Thursday. That put GOOG stock off to a decidedly different start to 2022 than might have been expected.

AT&T (NYSE:T) released an update on Jan. 5 concerning its telecom and media subscriber growth with no financial figures. The update from Pascal Desroches, AT&T’s CFO, gives shareholders encouraging news on the company’s telecom and media growth prospects. As a result, T stock has been rising as investors are able to see through the fog

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. After watching NET stock continue to rise despite selling at 50 times revenue, I took a small position in December and am down double digits. Source: IgorGolovniov /

Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock trades very closely with the price of Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD). At first glance this might make sense. However, in reality, it is ridiculous. The price of the asset should not affect the price of the stock marketplace. A trading platform stock price is not vulnerable to drops in the prices of stocks. In

Last year was a mixed one for Chinese electric vehicle (EV) companies. Even with strong financial performances, stock upsides were capped with regulatory concerns. Additionally, chip shortages broadly impacted EV stock sentiments. However, I believe that Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is among the top EV stocks to consider for 2022 and beyond. Source: Robert Way

My favorite part of mathematics? The numbers never lie. See for yourself with the following electric vehicle (EV) delivery numbers… Source: Shutterstock What do they say about the state of the EV Revolution in 2022?

Semiconductor firms remain as important as ever. Investors have come to realize that names like Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and AMD stock represent a vitally important industry.

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) is a pioneer in commission-free investing model that has recently become popular among online brokers.

If the opinion of the analyst community means anything, then SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is a strong buy for 2022. At present, SOFI stock is over 60% less than its consensus price target of $24.63.

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. With much of the world citizenry sheltering in place, there was

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. However, there have been a few anomalies, of which Ethereum’s aggregator Polygon  (CCC:MATIC-USD) takes the cake. With

With enterprise artificial intelligence software company C3.ai (NYSE:AI) adding impressive customers and growing its revenue at a fairly rapid pace, I continue to believe the company can become the “Microsoft of AI.” Just as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) developed tools that made it easy for businesses to develop documents and perform complex calculations, C3.ai has created products

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.

It may have been the hottest investing trend of 2021. But as the new year beckons, it’s tough to be bullish on meme stocks. With numerous uncertainties clouding the market, the top names in this category, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and GameStop (NYSE:GME), have been trending lower in recent weeks. The same thing has happened for
