Stocks to buy

Most investors typically value precious metals as safe havens in times of an economic downturn. Due to the novel coronavirus-led market slowdown, several investors have turned to precious metals in protecting their investments. For example, gold prices have risen over 27% in the past year compared to 19% growth in the S&P 500 index. However,

The market has been on a raging rebound since late March. A lot of stocks have seen tremendous returns, but it’s challenging to jump on a moving train. But worry not, because there are some great stocks that have benefited from quarantine trends but are also rising on their own merits — well managed and

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is a no-brainer buy. Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com Back in November 2019, I was amazed that at $1,752, AMZN stock still was “cheap.” At the moment, the stock is up to $3,340 and could easily hit $4,000 a share by 2021. For one, it’s Amazon.com. Nothing can stop its sales growth. Two,

Editor’s note: “9 Stocks to Buy This Month” was originally published July 9, 2020. It is updated monthly to reflect the current state of the markets and best stocks to buy for that month. With the presidential election just over two weeks away, the case for stocks to buy this month couldn’t be more tense.

This past weekend I celebrated Thanksgiving with a tiny, Covid-acceptable group of friends in the annual ritual Canadians celebrate a month earlier than our American neighbors. As I spent the holiday Monday dwelling on the markets, I reflected on an article I wrote back in December 2018 that recommended seven Canadian stocks to buy despite

Over the past two months — on the heels of an apocalyptic post-earnings wipeout — I’ve been saying time and time again that Alteryx (NASDAQ:AYX) isn’t just a great buy, but one of the best stocks to buy in the whole market for the fourth quarter of 2020! That’s based on the idea that management’s

NIO (NYSE:NIO) stock has been absolutely on fire over the past year, and the rally simply refuses to stop. Over the last twelve months, NIO stock has soared more than 1,500%, including a recent 20%-plus pop to fresh all time highs in October on the back of a big upgrade from JP Morgan, who hiked

A lot of promising companies have burst onto Wall Street’s scene over the past few months via reverse mergers with special purpose acquisitions companies (SPACs), but few have made as flashy of a debut as electric trucking company Hyliion (NASDAQ:HYLN) stock, which went public through blank-check company Tortoise Acquisition Corp.

When I last wrote about Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock in early September, its stock had just hit its all-time high of $3,552. “Buy Amazon only if ‘good’ is good enough for you,” I wrote, calling the valuations “nosebleed.” Source: Sundry Photography / Shutterstock.com Since then, AMZN stock has slid 10% from its peak. While still not

When it comes to the burgeoning luxury EV market, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) gets all the love on Wall Street — and reasonably so. Elon Musk and company pioneered the space, dominate the space and continue to make the market’s best and most desirable vehicles. But in this market traditionally dominated by Tesla, it’s time to start

Landcadia Holdings’ (NASDAQ:LCA) merger with Golden Nugget Online Gaming provides an attractive entry into the booming online market, at a price significantly lower than its peers’ valuations.

The old guard brick-and-mortar retail industry is under duress. In the first half of 2020, 18 retailers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection while the number of store closures hit another record. All the while, Walmart (NYSE:WMT) is thriving. WMT stock is up 18.55% year-to-date, topping the S&P Retail Select Industry Index by 300 basis

If you only have a certain amount of money to invest, don’t be thrown off by high-priced stocks. Bear in mind, there’s a difference between high-priced and expensive. The former simply means the stock may trade at a three- or four-digit price, rather than a single- or double-digit price. Expensive stocks are those trading at

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is having its best year yet. The novel coronavirus pandemic led to an unprecedented surge in online shopping, which was a big win for the e-commerce giant. With Prime Day just around the corner, investors are hoping for some big gains in the coming weeks. AMZN stock is up 62% to date, and

We are witnessing a new age of medicine with the increasing acceptance of people’s right to what goes inside their bodies. Over the past decade, several researches have come out supporting psychedelic-inspired medicines in treating conditions including addiction, depression, and ADHD.

Internet of Things stocks continue to see strong growth when it comes to market size. But from my observation, neither investors nor consumers have grasped just how large this market will become.

Canopy Growth (NYSE:CGC) has been — to be frank — a disappointment to CGC stock holders for several years.

But none of that has happened. Yet.

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) went public almost seven years ago. After the first day of trading back in 2013, Twitter stock closed just shy of $45. As I write this, it’s trading a bit below $46.

In 2020, the stock market crashed on fears that the Covid-19 pandemic was a “world-ender.” Then markets rebounded sharply as those fears proved overstated.
