Elon Musk wagered a huge bet on Donald Trump winning the White House – and that bet is already paying off. Musk spent about $130 million on the Trump campaign and related conservative efforts. And ever since it became clear that Trump won a second term in the White House, Tesla (TSLA) stock has surged

Keeping with the theme of the week, stocks’ fast-and-furious rally continued again today. Indeed, it was a really, really good day for the markets. Sure, at the headline level, the Nasdaq only climbed about 1.5%, while the S&P 500 rose just 0.7%. That’s a pretty normal “good day” for Wall Street; nothing to write home
Let’s skip right to what you came here for: the type of stocks to buy under Trump’s second term. Many investors expect a Trump administration to have significant implications for the stock market and various sectors of the economy. Indeed, the markets are buzzing with certainty for the near-term, but is that accurate? And how
When it comes to making money in the stock market, I’ve found that one of the best approaches is to invest in problem-solving businesses. After all, companies that figure out how to solve a widespread problem can generate sustainable demand, revenues, and profits. And that should all lead to higher stock prices. By that logic,
For the past several months, talk of an ‘AI bubble’ has been a media mainstay. I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines – ‘Will AI Be a Bust? A Wall Street Skeptic Rings the Alarm,’ ‘The Thrill of AI Is Fading,’ ‘Wall Street Sounds AI Bubble Alarm.’ But the truth is, the AI Boom remains alive
For the past several weeks, amid a flurry of positive developments in the self-driving industry, we have been pounding the table on autonomous vehicle stocks. Indeed, just consider: Waymo is already delivering 100,000-plus autonomous rides per week throughout Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. And it’s set to expand to Austin, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia
When a revolutionary new product launches, what’s the best way to invest in its success? By buying that product-maker’s stock… right? Maybe not. Just consider: ever since Apple (AAPL) launched the first iPhone in June 2007, Apple stock has taken off like a rocket ship. It has risen more than 6,000% in value since that
Self-driving cars – they’ve hogged a large portion of the news cycle lately. Indeed, earlier this week, Gov. Gavin Newsom made headlines when he vetoed a bill that would have banned autonomous vehicles (AVs) from operating in the state of California. Then, just yesterday, Waymo started offering driverless rides to some folks in Austin, Texas.
About a month ago, I flew home from a work trip into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. It was late. My wife and kids were asleep. So, I fetched a ride from a ride-hailing app. The car arrived. It took me to my home in the suburbs. Dropped me off. It was a typical ride-hailing
For the past several months – really, since ChatGPT’s launch in late 2022 – we’ve been laser-focused on all things artificial intelligence. And of course, the AI Boom that’s unfolding right now presents a lot of opportunities as well as risks. I mean, just imagine. This powerful tech could do things like help researchers develop
Today, stocks are rallying to fresh record highs. Though, that’s not necessarily news; it’s been happening all year long. But I’d argue that today is much more than just your average “good day” on Wall Street. In fact, this could be the Street’s best day of 2024. Now, that’s not because stocks are posting their
Wall Street loves artificial intelligence no matter what flavor it comes in. After intelligent voice leader SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) reported second-quarter earnings on August 8, analysts engaged in a round of raising their price targets on SOUN stock. They now have a $7.08 per share consensus view for the stock, which implies a 42% upside
Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock is a company to watch as it heads into its earnings season for the third quarter. My recommendation for investors to hold this stock. Palantir stock continues to show strong revenue growth. I have concerns about the firm’s valuation and its ability to improve profitability. The third quarter will be an important
Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) might be the least loved Magnificent Seven member. Oddly enough, Tesla is either a pioneer or a pariah, depending on whom you ask about it. The best way to sum up Tesla’s current situation is: “It’s complicated.” Therefore, if you intend to buy Tesla stock, only purchase a few shares and have
Is there an artificial intelligence (AI) stock bubble that’s only starting to burst, or is the latest sell-off nothing more than a healthy, much-needed correction? That’s the big question on investors’ minds as they contemplate buying the dip in previously heated growth plays that are starting to show signs of bottoming out. Of course, only
A lot of analysts have been discussing the potential of Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock from the lens of the company’s slowly declining innovative edge. After all, 2023 marked the first year that Apple’s sales for devices like the Mac and iPad dipped substantially from the year prior. Whether it was a lack of innovation or declining
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has long been a powerhouse in both e-commerce and cloud computing, captivating investors with its growth potential. However, recent market dynamics have led to question marks as to how Amazon stock may behave in the rest of 2024. After its latest earnings report, AMZN shares declined around 10%, exacerbated by a broader market
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has been living in the shadow of its larger rival, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), for quite some time now. In less than a year, AMD has gone from being seen as a peer to Nvidia to more of a “Nvidia-lite” in the eyes of many investors. The stock tends to move in tandem
Always pay close attention to new stock price targets from firms, like Needham. While the firm won’t always get it right, price upgrades are still worth paying attention to. Perhaps they’re seeing favorable industry trends that are impacting a covered stock. Maybe the financial health of a stock based on earnings or guidance is improving.
Every investor is well aware of the volatility sweeping the markets over the past few weeks. The same investors are trying to understand whether a market meltdown or massive opportunity is ahead.
