Stocks to buy

For decades, major energy firm BP (NYSE:BP) was known as a relatively stable company to invest in. Granted, the name did hit troubled waters with its 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but BP stock was able to recover and go back to business as usual.

Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:RIDE) is looking like a winner, as RIDE stock has risen 21.5% since Oct. 26 when its SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) merger closed. Source: SevenMaps/ShitterStock.com Moreover, in my last article, I wrote that the stock was worth $26.61 per share. As of Friday, Dec. 4, almost a month later RIDE stock has risen

Do you drive an electric car? Chances are that the answer is “no.” After all, only 2.1 million new electric vehicles were sold in 2019, amounting to a measly 3.3% of global new car sales. Basically, if you gathered 100 people into a room and asked each of them if they drive an electric car,

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), the largest U.S. company by market capitalization, continues to impress, but following a 67.66% gain through the first 11-plus months of this year, AAPL stock could be in for a more modest showing in 2021.

Analysts and investors were rightfully worried about the health of the economy as the novel coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in early spring. Yet as we get ready to finish the year, the Street has a different story to tell. In recent days, many stocks and indices have hit 52-week or even all-time highs. And

Cannabis stocks have been on fire ever since Election Day 2020, with the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (NASDAQ:MJ) rallying 45% since early November on the idea that a Joe Biden Presidency will pave the path for federal decriminalization and legalization of cannabis in the all important U.S. market. Leading this rally, of course, has been

Back in July, I recommended seven of the best stocks to buy for 2021 and beyond. As a group, they’ve done very well over the past three months. For instance, Livongo Health was acquired by Teladoc Health (NYSE:TDOC) on Oct. 30 for $11.33 per share in cash and 0.592 times shares in Teladoc.  But looking for a

Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) is having one of the best years on Wall Street. Pinterest stock is up more than 260% year-to-date, as the social media company has managed to avoid messy controversies that affect other social media stocks.

Data suggests that a person is more likely to be hit by lightning than catch Covid-19 in an aircraft. For people looking to travel during the holiday season, this data is indeed encouraging. Further, this is not the only good news for airline stocks. Anthony Fauci recently reached out with a message for those suffering

Investing in cheap stocks can seem fail-proof. And to be sure, the underlying logic is sound. Early investors should seek out equities that are fundamentally undervalued, and others will follow as the strength of said equities becomes more apparent. Then the underlying equity rises in price concurrently with demand and investors benefit via price appreciation. 

The electric vehicle (EV) boom is accelerating, which means that electric vehicle stocks are soaring. In fact, over the past several weeks: Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) ran from $200 to $590 Nio (NYSE:NIO) ran from $10 to $57 Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) ran from $15 to $47 Workhorse Group (NASDAQ:WKHS) ran from $4 to $29 Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA)

Over the last six months, I have seen several altcoins surging by 1000%. So, when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs) Nio (NYSE:NIO) has been no less than that in my opinion — a top alternative to Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), the bitcoin of the EV industry. Nio stock has surged by 1001% in the last six

Investors in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) have had a strong 2020. Right now, NVDA stock is up over over 130% year-to-date (YTD). However, after hitting an all-time high of just over $589 on Sept. 2, the shares came under pressure and fell as low as $468 on Sept. 8. Now in early December, they are currently around

With very few avenues remaining for the Trump administration to contest the 2020 election results, Joe Biden will become the 46th President of the United States. While there are myriad implications of the incoming administration, one of them is the reinvigorated push toward clean energy. Naturally, this should serve Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) very well. And

It’s been a solid year for Ericsson (NYSE:ERIC), with shares of Ericsson stock going from $8.80 to $12.21, which is near a 52-week high. Consider that the shares have not been at this level since over a decade. Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com With the emergence of the novel coronavirus pandemic earlier in the year, there

If investors were pressed to name the go-to stock for the novel coronavirus, many would answer Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM). And rightfully so. Zoom stock barely flinched when volatility cranked up in February. And it outright soared in March while the rest of the market was getting crushed.

InvestorPlace contributor David Moadel recently suggested that BP’s (NYSE:BP) move away from fossil fuels to renewable energy was controversial. Well, if that’s controversial, I say back the truck up and buy all the BP stock you can muster. Source: JuliusKielaitis / Shutterstock.com Why? Because traditional energy investors are going to continue to get their hats

Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE:CGC), the Canadian cannabis and CBD products company, seems to be experiencing a turnaround. It wasn’t that long ago that CGC stock was in the doldrums and its outlook was quite dark.

E-commerce giant Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) is often considered the Chinese equivalent to America’s Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). The two companies even have comparable sales mega-events. Whereas Amazon had Prime Day (which was actually two days) on Oct. 13 and 14, Alibaba stock holders waited with bated breath for the results of Singles’ Day on Nov. 11.

Gambling stocks have been on fire since March’s novel coronavirus crash. When the pandemic first hit, investors feared the worst for the gaming sector. But, with social distancing having less impact than expected — along with the continued sports-betting megatrend — names in this industry made a tremendous recovery. However, as Covid-19 cases begin to
