Buying low and selling high is what investing comes down to. Often, however, investors get spooked when prices are low and avoid struggling stocks, thinking that they are destined to go even lower. But when it comes to quality businesses, you should relish the opportunity to buy stocks when their prices are low as it can mean great returns later…
One way to earn excellent returns over a long period is to invest in shares of top companies that are helping drive significant technological (or other) changes. That describes Uber Technologies (UBER) and Fiverr (FVRR) well. These two leaders in disruptive industries have had their share of headwinds, but both could deliver outsized returns to investors who hold onto their stock over the next decade. Let…
Investors rushed to get in on artificial intelligence (AI) stocks over the past two years as it became clear that AI might be the next big thing. The idea was that this newish technology could join the ranks of electricity or the internet, revolutionizing our daily lives and a whole lot more. But recently, the excitement has turned to concern…
Investors have been on such a turbulent roller coaster that it’s easy to forget that the S&P 500 was up slightly through the first two months of the year.

Equity markets have been seesawing for the past two weeks. Stocks fell hard after President Donald Trump announced his tariff plans, then bounced back big once he said he would pause expanded tariffs on imported goods from most countries for 90 days. It’s hard to predict which way major indexes will move next, but amid all this volatility, it helps…
The stock market has been on a wild ride in April. Following President Donald Trump’s tariff announcement on April 2, the S&P 500 had one of its worst two-day performances in 80 years. Uncertainty over future trade policies and other countries’ responses to them has rocked the market, leading many to sell riskier investments like growth stocks. While many stocks have bounced back following…
Markets are going through a period of volatility that we have not seen since early in the pandemic back in 2020 and, before that, the dot-com crash — tariffs, concerns around a slower economy, trade wars, and the list goes on.
