Sometimes, you may inadvertently catch a falling knife. Ultimately, it’s still worth purchasing bounce-back stocks with potential.   While the overall stock market indices are booming, some laggards are near 52-week lows. These stocks have

Identifying reliable dividend stocks can be challenging, but they offer potential long-term investment opportunities. Companies with a track record of consistent dividend growth in stable or growing industries are particularly attractive.

I recruited Google’s Bard AI tool to help me to find 3 dividend stocks for the month of July. I might be imagining it, but Bard seems to have a bias toward tech. Take that to mean what you will but I’ve noticed that Bard certainly appreciates tech firms.  All of the stocks recommended are

Artificial intelligence technology is transforming many industries and creating new opportunities for businesses and consumers. But as an investor, how can you benefit from this powerful technology?

Currently, analysts and industry data are reporting that the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market is not growing fast enough. Unsold EVs are stacking up at automaker’s dealerships and price cuts are short-term pauses towards the market growth. In fact, according to Cox data, U.S. dealers have more than 92,000 EVs in stock. This number represents

Lately, I’ve been spending a few hours each day conducting macro market research with various artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

The tailwinds behind energy stocks are greater than the purported headwinds because the demand for oil and gas is so large. The global under-investment in fossil fuel production over the past 10-plus years has put the industry in a unique position. Although the economics for more oil and gas exploration didn’t always make sense, it’s

It’s a shame that so many financial traders have never even considered China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock. That’s fine, though, as LI stock could be a secret weapon in your portfolio. After all, you’re bound to be impressed with Li Auto’s delivery figures.
