The phenomenal results of its Covid-19 vaccine has propelled Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) stock since late October, with the gain at about 15%.  Of course, there has been a general rally across the equities markets as well since it looks like the economy will get back on track next year.

The best presents are the ones that you keep for years and that continue to bring pleasant memories and joy each time you see them.

With the growth of digital payments very strong and likely to remain elevated going forward, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL), the runaway leader of the sector, continues to be a very good choice for risk-averse investors looking for a technology name. And going forward, PayPal stock will continue to have many powerful growth catalysts, including network effects and

Editor’s note: This article was updated on Dec. 18 to include the latest available information. With 2021 around the corner, it’s become more important than ever for traders to look for long-term stocks that offer reasonable returns without too much risk. These are what I call “millionaire-maker” stocks — high-potential companies with enough stability to

With strong growth, cloud computing has been one of the key investment themes in the last few years. Further, growth for the industry is far from over. Cloud stocks will therefore remain in the limelight in the coming years. To put things into perspective, the cloud computing industry is expected to grow at a compound

It’s not the sexiest of this year’s initial public offering (IPO) crop, but Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) is adding to the chatter that 2020 is looking a lot like the 2000 dot com bubble. In fact, up almost 187% year-to-date (YTD) and trading at a staggering 44.76 times sales, Palantir stock does little to reject the bubble

One year ago, Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) was a little known supplier of hydrogen fuel cells for forklifts that — much like the broader hydrogen market itself — had a history of false starts and empty promises. PLUG stock was trading hands around $3. Source: petrmalinak / Shutterstock.com A year later, that little known hydrogen fuel

What do you think of when I say, “renewable energy”? Probably wind. Maybe solar. Maybe hydrogen. Those are, after all, the three largest renewable energy sources on the planet. And, in the midst of a global clean energy revolution wherein essentially every country in the world is aggressively working to cut carbon emissions, all three

Pretty soon, if everything works out as planned, Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings II (NYSE:IPOB) will have served its purpose and IPOB stock will cease to exist. However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t own the stock. In fact, I’d consider it a strong buy right now. Source: Shutterstock You see, Social Capital Hedosophia is nothing more

The pandemic has kickstarted growth in many nascent industries. For instance, video conferencing has had an unprecedented boost. Likewise, biotech stocks have exploded. And finally, virtual healthcare has seen a huge increase. Few companies have benefited more from that than Teladoc (NYSE:TDOC). With health now more important than ever, demand for the company’s services boomed. So

A novel coronavirus vaccine was perhaps the most in-demand item throughout 2020. As the world eagerly awaits these vaccines, the market opportunity for the companies that produce them has proven exponential. In this case, even the third or fourth finisher has a lot to gain. Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) may not be at the top as a

I’ll cut straight to the chase here. Arguably one of the best hypergrowth stocks to buy for the next 10 years is FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock. Why? Let me answer that question with another question. Does it not seem odd that, although the streaming TV revolution has forever disrupted the multi-trillion-dollar global entertainment industry, we’ve only

A highly anticipated test flight from space tourism pioneer Virgin Galactic (NASDAQ:SPCE) ended prematurely this weekend after the engine of its SpaceShipTwo vehicle ‘Unity’ did not fully ignite due to a lost connection.

It’s safe to say this hasn’t been a great year for value investors. While names in big tech, electric vehicles (EVs) and other high-growth industries thrived in 2020, old school value stocks struggled to bounce back after March’s crash. Granted, many of these stocks have now returned to pre-pandemic levels. But, some continue to languish

Despite the ravages of the novel coronavirus pandemic, major indices continue to trade near or at all-time highs. But it’s also the types of sectors that are flying that make this dichotomy incredibly perplexing. For instance, the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLK) is nearing 40% gains year-to-date while some state eviction moratoriums are about

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock zoomed from a mere $3 to $28 during the year. The last time the company posted such staggering gains was back in the dot-com boom. But of course, this was short-lived. Plug Power stock would then go into a long-term bear mode. It was horrible. Source: Alexander Kirch / Shutterstock.com So

Among large-cap semiconductor names, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is a story unto itself. Buoyed by the familiar catalysts of data centers and graphics processing units (GPUs), NVDA stock is up over 120% year-to-date (YTD) and is one of the biggest domestic chip manufacturers by market capitalization.

There is something interesting about Pinterest (NYSE:PINS), which has been roasting its way higher lately. In fact, PINS stock is up 217% over the last six months and 462% from the March low.

Space tourism pioneer Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) is generating some excitement as its next manned test flight approaches. Shares of SPCE stock are rising, too.

Switchback Energy (NYSE:SBE) is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), a “blank check” shell corporation designed to take companies public without going through the traditional IPO process.
