That’s because most large investors believe that the vast majority of small and medium companies are in great danger of failing due to today’s relatively high interest rates.
The economy faces uncertainty due to decreased consumer spending and a slowing job market. The impact of raising interest rates 11 times from 2022 to 2023 is seen through consumer spending, which saw 0% growth from March to April and a 0.1% decrease when excluding gas and vehicle sales. These statistics don’t account for inflation,
Magnificent 7 stocks have been all the hype in recent quarters, and for good reason. I think most of that hype is more than justified. The market is now mostly driven by AI and the data center boom, and most people in white-collar jobs can attest that AI has greatly improved their productivity. That said,

On-shoring trends are gaining significant momentum as the government looks to companies to build more resilient supply chains closer to home.

The future of electric vehicles (EVs) is starting to sift out the winners and losers. That means you need to be careful when you choose companies in which to invest. That’s particularly true when it comes to EV penny stocks. These are stocks that are trading for $5 or less. A low price isn’t
Investing in renewable energy stocks has become increasingly attractive in the fight against climate change. With advancements in clean technology and growing support from governments, the renewable energy sector is poised for significant growth.

A couple of weeks ago, there was significant activity (particularly in media coverage) regarding the seeming resurgence of meme stocks. The classics of the meme mania, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and GameStop (NYSE:GME), rocketed higher. However, nearly as quickly as excitement for meme stocks regained momentum, the fervor seems to be fading again. Yet this does
Everyone is familiar with Warren Buffett’s track record at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A, BRK-B). Since he became CEO, he has generated returns of 4.38 million percent for investors, a compounded annual growth rate of 19.8%. That’s almost exactly double the returns of the S&P 500. If you really want to reap the rewards, grab some Berkshire
Some of the most obvious opportunities in the world of investing can be among the most difficult decisions to make. Investors may question whether growth will remain robust. How can they discern whether a given company is “too good to be true” (a value trap), or if something will de-rail a ride that appears to
The latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes outlined delayed interest rate cuts. These are an effort to clamp down on inflation, noting “fewer cuts this year than previously thought.” This translates to elevated borrowing costs and increased living costs, a fertile ground for reduced profit margins. In such an economic climate, identifying stocks to
Betting on buyout buzz is high-risk and potentially high-reward. Takeover talk is already swirling around Powerschool Holdings (NYSE:PWSC), and a sell-the-news event could decimate Powerschool stock.

Due to the current state of global tensions and the overall willingness of the U.S. government to continuously increase defense spending budgets, the defense industry is likely not worth betting against in the short term. That being said, despite two active wars, which America is directly supporting, the defense industry has seen somewhat modest gains as a whole. Part of this can be
The e-commerce behemoth Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has already earned a spot in many investors’ portfolios, and for good reason. The stock has gained nearly 19% since the start of the year, built off the back of a good earnings report and the broad tech rally guiding the market upwards. While Amazon has a number of secular
