An excellent way to find stocks to buy is by examining the holdings of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on the subject matter you’re interested in. In this case, safe blue-chip stocks. Investopedia defines blue-chip stocks as follows: “These are typically large, well-established, and financially sound companies that have operated for many years and that

The market’s winds have changed direction over the past few weeks. Up until recently, growth stocks were in the doghouse as investors fretted about falling revenue growth rates and mounting layoffs in the technology industry. But now, Wall Street’s worries have turned to the banking sector. A series of major banking failures in March have

The rapid growth of green energy, and, by extension, hydrogen stocks have always seemed to be a case of if, not when. And with the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the entire hydrogen sector just got a big boost.   Specifically, the bill devotes $9.5 billion to the development of green hydrogen. And

The tech industry continues to hand out pink slips to employees as the threat of a recession grows every day. Yet, despite the clouds in the distance, investors continue to debate whether it’s wiser to buy stocks that are poised for growth or ones brimming with value.  As CNBC contributor Bob Pisani sees it, value

There are plenty of drivers of uncertainty in the stock market right now. With high inflation, multiple geopolitical conflicts, and a banking crisis that appears to be spreading, there are plenty of reasons for investors to duck and take cover. In my view, high-quality, blue-chip stocks are among the places that investors may want to

In addition to all the publicly traded companies in this sector, thousands of private companies are in the business of AI. That gives investors a lot to think about when they look

If a tech-related trend is hotter than artificial intelligence (AI), I’d love to know what it is. Everyone seems to be developing something AI-related, which is why investors have gotten excited about artificial intelligence ETFs. Why try to pick the next developer of a ChatGPT-like product when you can invest in a collection of AI-related businesses

The sooner we join the transition towards Electric vehicles (EVs), the better it is for the environment. Whether you like it or not, countries are taking significant steps to ensure the efficient adoption and penetration of EVs.

It’s the best time for investors to look for Chinese stocks to buy, as the country starts to reopen fully. Many Chinese companies were hit hard last year due to strict zero-COVID policies, which substantially decreased domestic demand.

It’s finally time for tech stocks to stage a huge comeback.  We’ve all been waiting for this moment. Ever since tech stocks started crashing in late 2021, we knew that they’d eventually bottom.
