Stocks To Buy

The technology sector is hardly worried about the persistent slowdown in smartphone and computer demand. Even though these sectors are mature, the need for more storage, computing power, and connectivity among all devices will still increase. Meanwhile, the ever-increasing computing power in automobiles gives technology companies newfound growth opportunities. As automobiles add more features powered

Usually when we think of defense stocks, we think of the major players that win the deals to build next generation fighters, or our newest aircraft carriers. Those companies are doing well, but they’re in a different place than the stocks I want to talk about today. These are the second and third-tier players that

Given the ongoing trade war and the lawsuits surrounding Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) stock, recommending buying QCOM stock may seem like a strange call. Also making the call look strange is that, from a chart perspective, Qualcomm stock has offered little to excite investors. QCOM stock is at roughly the same level as it was four months

A bad quarter sent Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) shares down nearly $100. The shares opened Oct. 25 at $1,697.55 after closing Oct. 24 at $1,780.78.

5G is here. If you don’t know what that is yet, it’s the next generation of wireless protocols. And if it hasn’t already, it’s going to change your life … dramatically. Think about the difference between the world before the internet and after. Or the difference between America now and before we had electricity. Or

Many investors believe that the ongoing U.S.-China trade war is pressuring Chinese stocks. If that’s the case, there should be no shortage of stocks to buy on hopes the dispute is resolved. To be honest, I’m somewhat skeptical that the trade war has had the impact some investors believe. It’s true that after the dispute

With a market cap of $340 billion, Walmart (NYSE:WMT) hardly needs an introduction.  The retail giant is expected to report earnings on Nov. 14. Between now and that date, there might be some profit taking in Walmart stock. However, long-term investors may regard any weakness in stock price to go long Walmart shares. Here’s why.

There are two ways to look at Aphria (NYSE:APHA) stock at the moment. The first is to argue that Aphria stock is absurdly cheap. In a sector where plunging names often still trade at 10 times sales, APHA seems like a bargain. Excluding net cash, the company is valued at less than 1 times its

[Editor’s note: “3 Medical Marijuana Stocks to Buy” was previously published in September 2019. It has since been updated to include the most relevant information available.] Often, when analysts or bloggers talk up the potential of marijuana stocks, the focus is on the consumer side of the industry.

I recently read an article celebrating Alphabet’s (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) 21st birthday.

It is worth noting that Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) has traded sideways for almost eight months. I see this as a golden opportunity to accumulate the stock.

Gaming is a fast-growing industry, but that doesn’t mean that it’s growing every single month. As it turns out, September wasn’t a great month for the video-game market, but the lull could actually present an opportunity to get into Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) at a fair price.

Earnings can be tricky, to say the least. Fortunately for investors, sometimes the aftermath can offer a stronger risk-adjusted buy decision. And right now large-cap stocks JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) have paved the way towards this end both off and on the price chart. It’s no secret that holding a

Investors holding software stocks must demand growth from them. After all, software companies hold nothing physically tangible. They may have important intellectual property, but their value comes from the solutions and services their programs offer. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) or International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) are easy choices for investors who do not want to spend too much

On Thursday, Oct. 17, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock gained 0.85%. For a stock as volatile as Tesla, that’s not much and volume in shares of the electric carmaker on that particular day was well below average.

Cloud security company Okta (NASDAQ:OKTA) had a tremendous couple of years. Since trading at just $22.60 in early 2017, it quickly became a crowd favorite, soaring as high as $141.85.  Since then, OKTA has crashed 34% off those highs. However, the plunge in OKTA stock has created a long-term buying opportunity. Source: Sundry Photography /
