Stocks to buy

Investing under normal conditions carries risk — that’s why there is a reward. But these days, that concept stretches to the extreme from all kinds of weird angles. I’ve been trading for decades, and this is by far is the most interesting market I’ve ever seen — and by interesting I really mean completely without

After the meteoric jump of Lemonade (NYSE:LMND) stock in December and earlier this month, many bears are piling on the name, declaring that the shares are overvalued and overbought.

Back in 2011, Morgan Stanley’s head auto analyst Adam Jonas made a bold call which made many other analysts on Wall Street chuckle. He said that the nascent and largely unproven electric vehicle market – which, at the time, accounted for less than 0.1% of global passenger car sales – was going to explode higher

You might not have room on your list of special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) for one more.

Going into 2021, it seems like a really bad idea to bet against Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).

With the world still in the throes of the coronavirus pandemic, digital payment apps like PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) continue to remain a key trend this year.

Last month, ahead of the release of its novel coronavirus vaccine to combat the coronavirus, Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) traded as high as $178.50. Frantic buying and selling rewarded momentum traders.

In June 2012, the world changed forever. You probably didn’t even notice. It was in that month’s issue of the Science journal that U.C. Berkeley professor Jennifer Doudna and Umea University professor Emmanuelle Charpentier unveiled what the scientific community has since labeled the “scientific breakthrough of the century.” The breakthrough: CRISPR-Cas9 genetic editing systems.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has done quite well over the last year. This is despite the fact that in the last three to six months the stock has not done that well.

Psychedelic stocks could have another “far out” year ahead. For one, the U.S. FDA supports its use, calling drugs, like psilocybin a “breakthrough therapy” in the treatment of severe depression.  In fact, according to New York University, psilocybin helped produce substantial, and sustained improvements in anxiety and depression.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. That could be the mantra for investors in the early days of 2021. Long-term investments may look a little shaky. Which could make now an ideal time to look for short-term stocks to buy. As I write this, the market is in a sell-off that

Remember 3D printing stocks? Back in 2013, they were all the rage on Wall Street … for a few months. But the “factory in every home” dream was short-circuited by the reality that 3D printing is a complex, costly, laborious and time-consuming process.

Before we discuss the opportunity in Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock, we should spend a few minutes describing the landscape.
