With time, I realized that investing in the market is like riding a Tilt-a-Whirl operated by a distracted carnival worker. Like a Tilt-a-Whirl, the market tends to be up and down, then up again (followed by another drop). Historically, it’s worked out for investors over the long term, but that doesn’t mean it’s not scary. It’s tempting to read a… 

When the stock market is doing poorly because of economic uncertainty or worries about geopolitical events, people often buy gold because it has a reputation as a long-term store of value. But before you dive into gold investments, you need to understand the pros and cons of the precious metal in general and the advantages and disadvantages of the different ways… 

Markets got a jolt last week after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled that a rate cut may be coming soon. Speaking at Jackson Hole, Powell noted that “downside risks to employment are rising,” and hinted that monetary policy will need to adjust. Traders took him at his word—the Dow soared over 800 points on the day, and futures markets… 

Investing in the right growth stocks can help you build tremendous wealth. All it takes is patiently holding shares of a business that generates significant growth in revenue and profits over the long term. But there are a lot of solid growth stocks out there. To find the stocks that can deliver massive upside, you want to look for companies that are… 

Most filmgoers will recognize this quote from the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy… You have no power here, Gandalf the Grey. The iconic line is a vivid reminder that even the most powerful figures can seem powerless in certain situations. This year, this trope has jumped from the silver screen to the biopharmaceutical sector, where pharma stocks behave as if President Donald Trump’s… 

Stocks trading under $10 can be attractive for investors looking to scoop up some cheap shares. Unfortunately, quality stocks trading for less than $10 are few and far between. Stock prices at this level can be a red flag for investors that something serious is wrong with a company. Many of these stocks have challenged underlying business models or difficult… 

Most of the headlines about artificial intelligence (AI) focus on the winners—companies building the tools, designing the chips, or leveraging automation to cut costs. But every revolution has two sides, and as investors we need to recognize that while AI will create massive opportunities, it will also disrupt—and in some cases devastate—certain business models. Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and other… 

Disruption isn’t a dirty word for investors. Sure, some companies can fade away as their businesses are rendered obsolete by new technologies. However, others flourish and make smart investors a lot of money over time. I believe we’re currently in the early stages of two massive disruptions. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to transform our world in too many ways to… 

Last week’s launch of ChatGPT-5 was a jaw-dropper — even in an industry where “mind-blowing” has become routine. The new flagship model from OpenAI isn’t just incrementally better than its predecessors. It’s best-in-class on multiple AI intelligence benchmarks while running on surprisingly low compute. Translation: it’s not only smarter than essentially everything else in the market, it’s also faster and cheaper to run.… 

Growth investing can seem deceptively simple on the surface. In a nutshell, it involves identifying a company growing faster than the rest of the market, then betting that someone else will be willing to pay more for each dollar of earnings it generates in the future. The challenge isn’t finding these companies. The real difficulty is twofold: Investors need confidence…
