Stocks to buy

Recently a number of reports emerged, including a Jan. 5 article in Barron’s magazine, that Charlie Munger has “doubled down” into shares of Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:BABA). In the past, I have written why BABA stock looks cheap. But I wanted to write about why he might see Alibaba as a worthwhile investment to buy

Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) is making great progress in manufacturing and generating orders for its battery-electric and hydrogen heavy-duty commercial trucks. With businesses and governments seeking to reduce carbon emissions in the U.S. and Europe, Nikola’s status as a first-mover in environmentally friendly semi-trucks should enable it to post great financial results over the longer term. Consequently,

CES 2022 — the consumer electronics industry’s most important annual event — has just wrapped up in Las Vegas. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

There seems to be a shift in the market. Speculative growth stocks and cryptocurrency, among other hot 2021 trends, have slumped in recent months. Meanwhile, more defensive stocks such as energy, utilities, industrials and food and beverage companies are rising. Amid these shifting sectoral winds, it’s time to take a look at infrastructure stocks. Infrastructure

Ah, the joys of the content publication stream! During the time that this story about potential entertainment stocks jumping higher due to consumers wanting out of novel coronavirus-related restrictions was initially researched, the omicron variant dominated headlines. But recently, infectious disease experts identified a new variant in France. Are we on the verge of yet

I hypothesize that retail investors don’t spend much time considering country-specific exchange traded funds (ETFs) to buy.  I don’t have empirical data to back up this assertion. However, it seems logical that most smaller investors are looking to get more bang for their buck. For example, why buy three or four country-specific emerging markets ETFs

Solar stocks, for the most part, ended 2021 on a weak note. Many investors decided to take money off the table following significant gains seen in alternative energy names. For instance, the Dow Jones U.S. Renewable Energy Equipment Total Stock Market Index was down 24.0% in 2021. Yet, despite the volatility in shares prices of

Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) has had a rough several months. Since Oct. 26, when the company released its third quarter results, HOOD stock has fallen from $39.57 to, as of Jan. 7, $15.75. That represents a decline of just over 60%.

The markets finished 2021 on a strong note for a variety of plays, including safe stocks. That isn’t too surprising, given that most of the big players at Wall Street trading firms and financial institutions make a lot of their money from their year-end bonuses. Those bonuses are made up of fund managers increasing assets

Advanced Micro Devices’ (NASDAQ:AMD) chief executive officer Dr. Lisa Su recently told CNBC that AMD sees “extremely strong” demand for PCs and its semiconductor chips.

In the last 12 months, PayPal’s (NASDAQ:PYPL) performance has been disappointing. During this period, PYPL stock has declined by around 19%.

Additionally, it was clear that the company’s rumored acquisition of Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) will not be happening. On the valuation

Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) proves there’s a price that’s too high, even for a good company in a hot niche. I will admit that I was caught off guard. After watching NET stock continue to rise despite selling at 50 times revenue, I took a small position in December and am down double digits. Source: IgorGolovniov /

Before we address the fundamental opportunity within ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) stock, we should assess the electric vehicle (EV) market in general.

This almost guarantees exponential demand growth on EV

Last year was a mixed one for Chinese electric vehicle (EV) companies. Even with strong financial performances, stock upsides were capped with regulatory concerns. Additionally, chip shortages broadly impacted EV stock sentiments. However, I believe that Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock is among the top EV stocks to consider for 2022 and beyond. Source: Robert Way

It’s no secret that Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock had a tough year in the markets. When the dust finally settled, PLTR shares had fallen by 20% over the course of 2021.

Semiconductor firms remain as important as ever. Investors have come to realize that names like Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and AMD stock represent a vitally important industry. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve learned the importance of semiconductors — and how their supply can have serious effects on the economy. Source: flowgraph / Shutterstock.com That aside, though,

Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST) has tumbled over the last few weeks. Meanwhile, as UPST stock has fallen, the macro picture for growth stocks has improved.

Consequently, I recommend that long-term investors buy shares of Upstart

Facebook Inc. did more than a simple name change when it took on the Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) moniker. It also put an emerging trend (the metaverse) on the map. Doing so didn’t give FB stock much of a boost. Source: Blue Planet Studio / Shutterstock.com It did help spark enthusiasm for several more speculative cryptos and stocks, as

If the opinion of the analyst community means anything, then SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is a strong buy for 2022. At present, SOFI stock is over 60% less than its consensus price target of $24.63.

Perhaps no other market segment besides oil stocks have featured as strong a will-they, won’t-they narrative of pure binary chaos. At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, oil prices slipped to below zero, an unprecedented circumstance as the global economy ground to a halt.
