Stocks to buy

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. Most consumers and businesses felt the limitations of 3D printing were too

What a wild week… The most attention-grabbing thing that happened? The storming of the U.S. Capitol when Congress was in session and in the process of confirming Joe Biden as the next President of the United States. Talk about wild! But – while that event may have dominated the news headlines, and rightly so –

Despite a global pandemic, many marijuana stocks saw a strong rally in 2020 with demand for cannabis on the rise. Some dispensaries were even deemed an essential business during the widespread lockdowns. As the strong momentum of the cannabis sector carries into the new year, investors are hoping for some big gains. The growth of

Before we discuss the opportunity in Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock, we should spend a few minutes describing the landscape. The macroeconomic conditions are pretty bad, yet somehow the equity indices won’t stop making highs. The small caps exploded up 4% earlier this week in spite of a lot of negative headline littering the news feeds. That said,

I’ve been pounding on the table about cannabis stocks and the potential “Blue Wave” catalyst since August. Now, that Blue Wave catalyst — wherein Democrats control the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate — is turning into a reality as it increasingly appears that both Democratic candidates will win their Georgia Senate

Before I get into the details of the opportunity in Lemonade (NYSE:LMND), I want to talk about the entire market. LMND stock has a bright future, but  there’s a lot of extrinsic risk because, astonishingly, Wall Street is thriving while Main Street is struggling.

Back on Nov. 23, I laid out the fundamental bull case for Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV) stock.

And we can’t forget that

Many market participants often flock to the latest 13F filing for the wealthy and well-known investors as they become available each quarter. Investors are often anxious to see what the likes of Warren Buffet and others are buying and selling. While most of us will never know the kinds of wealth that these individuals have,

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) still looks attractive despite its good run during 2020. Google stock rose 31% during 2020, although most of that gain was in Q4 when it rose 19.6%. But that is good since it shows that the market believes the tide is turning in Google’s fundamental business. Source: turtix / Shutterstock.com And don’t be

As longtime readers know, I’m exceptionally bullish on electric vehicle stocks. But not all EV stocks are created equal. And one EV company that stands out from the rest in the best way possible is Canoo (NASDAQ:GOEV), which went public through a merger with Hennessey Capital Acquisition Corp. IV (NASDAQ:HCAC).

Paypal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock suffered a minor blip, losing 5.1% in five trading days in an otherwise stellar year.

Everyone loves a good bargain, right? Well, when the market endured that painful selloff in March, it drove down stock valuations. At the time, though, volatility was so high and there were so many unknowns that it was hard to pile into names. So, are there still cheap stocks to buy now?  The short answer?

XPeng (NYSE:XPEV), the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker is up 100% in the last two months but it’s down 29% in the last month. That is due to the fact that XPEV stock peaked recently on Nov. 23 at $72.17. However, I believe XPEV stock is worth at least 100% more at $82 per share.

2020 is almost over… Finally. What a year it’s been. It all started with a U.S. strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the Commander of Iranian Forces, in January. Less than a month later, NBA legend Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash. Then, about a month after that, Tom Hanks tested positive for Covid-19, and

The market’s fixation with drug manufacturers involved in treating or preventing the novel coronavirus is creating opportunities for value investors.

Now that Fisker (NYSE:FSR) has signed a definitive agreement with Magna International (NYSE:MGA) to make its new Ocean electric SUV, I took another look as what I wrote about this earlier in December. I believe that analysis still stands especially now that the Magna deal is finalized. And, I still believe Fisker stock is likely
