I’m intrigued by stocks that have the ability to soar while the broader market sinks. Stocks that go up regardless of action in the broader market! Here are three that are suspiciously strong in the face of seriously headwinds. This article appeared at Dividend Stocks Research.
Sentiment for the cannabis sector has yet to rebound from its last peak in late 2020/early 2021, but that doesn’t mean you need to skip out on 420 stocks. Even Forbes recently argued that full U.S. legalization of marijuana remains (at least) a decade away. Why? For one, although political leaders still appear unwilling to approve a sweeping overhaul of…
The term “AI,” or Artificial Intelligence, is a buzzword that’s been gaining traction over the past few years. But what is it, really? At its core, AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines. With the advancements in AI technology, there’s been a surge of interest in AI stocks. Given the potential of AI to revolutionize industries…
As always, there have been hits and misses in the last earnings season. Irrespective of long-term fundamentals, markets tend to react to quarterly results. For medium-term investors, the results provide an opportunity for quick gains by trading in stocks that have delivered positive surprises. There are also cases where the rally is on the back of the revised guidance rather…
Sometimes, the old saying goes, you gotta pull the bat back and swing for the fences. After all, “ya gotta take chances.” Babe Ruth not only hit the most home runs but also struck out more than most people who played the game. The inference is that you can risk it all on mammoth swings and settle for an all-or-nothing…
Is there still a chance to buy the bank dip? You bet—with nifty yields up to 9.4%! We’re going to avoid the regional lenders, which pains me to say because I love banking with the small guys. But I’m not looking to own them as the economy slows down. No, nothing personal, but I’ll take the banking behemoths. None of…
With a rally of almost 20% in the S&P 500 index, investors need to be cautious. It makes sense to wait for a correction in blue-chip or growth stocks that have skyrocketed. At the same time, there are several names that haven’t participated in the rally or remain attractively valued even after an upside. This column focuses on such undervalued…
Generally, companies that provide passive income for stakeholders represent a balanced approach but for safe dividend stocks for 2023. The underlying concept has taken on greater importance. Fundamentally, investors really have no idea what might transpire over the second half. By virtue of providing payouts to shareholders, companies must have profits to draw from. This framework implies that such enterprises enjoy established,…
Investing in undervalued stocks has its good and bad sides. The good side is these stocks give a safety margin, meaning they can grow before reaching their true worth. This means you could earn a lot if the market price adjusts to the real worth. Also, since they’re already cheaper, these stocks might not be as affected by big market…
In a not exactly unexpected development, the Federal Reserve last week announced that it raised its key interest rate by a quarter percentage point, which then inherently bolsters the case for stocks to buy after a rate hike. For one thing, a Bloomberg report noted that the central bank left the door open for more rate hikes. This framework too isn’t all that surprising. While…
