One of the last times I tried recommending stocks to buy for 100% returns was at the beginning of 2022. I selected seven names I believed had the stuff to double for a second consecutive year. None of the seven managed to pull off a two-peat. The worst part was that five of the seven
Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) is among the key eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft companies in the market. For those looking to bet on flying cars, ACHR stock remains one of the key ways to do so.

Call me boring but I love to pick stocks that have a strong history and solid balance sheet that keep rewarding investors. Who doesn’t enjoy passive income? If you are a risk-averse investor and looking to invest for the long term, there are a few qualities you need to look for in the stocks you
Investors tend to buy gold stocks as a hedge against broad economic fear. Markets remain volatile and fears of a recession or worse remain elevated. Those are the exact conditions that have historically made gold shares a good investment. Gold tends to underperform the broader stock market in the long term but outperforms in conditions
Bankruptcy filings are on the rise. As the economic good times of the past few years are seemingly drawing to a close, it’s creating trouble for many publicly traded companies. This has led to the rise of bankruptcy predictions in this article. Retail companies have been particularly hard hit. Firms such as Bed Bath &
SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is well known for being among the leading student loan financing companies in the market. However, as I’ve pointed out in recent pieces, SoFi stock is evolving into more than a one-dimensional player. This company is now a one-stop financial solution provider, with a strong focus on student loan refinancing. There’s a
The U.S. Federal Reserve Building in Washington, D.C. Win Mcnamee | Reuters Forecasters have been really wrong on the economy recently, but it’s nothing new: They’ve always been wrong. I was amused yesterday to hear that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was shocked — shocked! — that the economic forecasts of the major Wall Street
This is a strange time as an investor. On one hand, there is inflation and weak consumer spending and on the other, the earnings season and strong market movement. But the best way to take a position during this time is to invest in undervalued blue-chip stocks that look promising and have an impressive balance
Safe stocks are a misnomer. All investments come with risk, and stocks are inherently riskier than fixed-income alternatives — for example. But stocks with a low beta are safe havens compared to the wider market. Beta measures volatility, or how wildly a stock swings compared to the overall market. The market, measured by an index
With effectively no revenue and burning through nearly a third of a billion dollars just last quarter alone, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) is the poster child of an ultra-high-risk, speculative stock. The company has achieved no truly meaningful milestones or tangible results thus far, instead existing solely on the back of investor cash injections. Of course,
A few weeks back, I wrote an (admittedly early) earnings preview for QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). I argued that while a post-earnings surge for QS stock was possible in theory, shares would not spike. It’s too late to lay out another prediction for how the stock could perform in response to earnings, much less place a pre-earnings
The cannabis business sector is undoubtedly a sector with great growth potential. As technology and its application in health advances, more and more discoveries happen within this potential sector, with incredible results that encourage consumption and demonstrate all its benefits. Maybe we are in the early stages of this sector, but right now is the
It’s hard to admit it when your bullish thesis was wrong. Yet, it’s never too late to bail on a terrible stock. Electric vehicle charging station manufacturer ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) proudly touted its latest product ramp-up. Still, CHPT stock gets an “F” rating and will probably continue to lose value. It’s easy to find red flags for
PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) may tempt contrarian investors. Right now, PYPL stock trades for only 10.8 times earnings. A very low valuation, when compared to their competitors’ valuations. Square and Cash App parent Block (NYSE:SQ), for example, trades at a relatively lofty 25.2 times forward earnings. Other popular fintech names, like SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), have yet

With so much hype baked into compelling innovations such as artificial intelligence, it’s only natural that certain tech stocks exploded higher in the market. However, some of the bravado has been fading for the once-screaming-hot enterprises. As a result, those still interested in the innovation ecosystem should target underappreciated ideas. Because of the dramatic rise of
Several of Wall Street’s biggest names convened in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the kingdom’s annual Future Investment Initiative, during which they weighed in on risks and opportunities for investors and the global economy. Bankers speaking on panel discussions notably stressed headwinds — particularly in the short term — from multiple wars, an economic slowdown and
Metaverse is advanced technology that aims to seamlessly blend physical components with digital ones. You can sit at a conference table and see some people in person, while others are digital. This has spelled big things for the metaverse stocks on the market. This investment opportunity is high-risk, high-reward due to the novelty of the technology.
While balanced market ideas that offer a blend of capital gains and income may be a tricky topic under certain circumstances, at the present juncture, investors ought to consider growth stocks that pay monthly dividends. True, sometimes a compromised approach yields a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none result. Still, compromise is the name of the game right now. Let’s
While symbolizing one of the riskiest mechanisms to acquire profits in the capital markets, targeting short-squeeze stocks can sometimes yield tremendous returns. That’s because these short-squeeze candidates play on the emotion of panic; that is, bullish contrarians attempt to drive prices of heavily targeted securities higher, thus panicking the bears. Traditionally, the way market gamblers
