With the Nasdaq Composite Index in record territory, you might be thinking that most stocks are also near their all-time highs. But this just isn’t the case. Take Shopify (NYSE: SHOP). As of May 15, the leading e-commerce platform’s shares are currently 65% below their peak, which was established in November 2021. It doesn’t help […]
Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) made headlines a couple of months ago that investors appear to be cheering for these days.

Investors probably view this as a key catalyst that could send shares of this restaurant enterprise to new heights […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the biggest tailwind in the technology sector right now. Generative AI has myriad applications, and mega-cap-tech behemoths are leading innovation efforts across the industry. One of the subtle growth opportunities in AI is data centers. In fact, Statista estimates that network infrastructure, storage, and server solutions will be a $439 billion […]
Anyone familiar with Warren Buffett knows the famous investor likes Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL). He has called the company a better business than any of Berkshire Hathaway‘s subsidiaries and better than longtime Berkshire holdings American Express and Coca-Cola. However, another company is attracting Buffett’s attention even more these days: Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY). Could Buffett like this stock […]
When Ken Griffin, founder and chief executive officer of Citadel, makes an investment decision, everyone stands up and takes notice. That’s because this investing giant has produced show-stopping results over time, with Citadel bringing in about $74 billion in returns since its 1990 launch. That makes it the most successful hedge fund ever. So it’s […]
Investors should realize that some of the best-performing stocks historically can come from all different industries. O’Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ: ORLY) proves this. In the past decade, this boring retail stock has soared 581%. That gain is well ahead of the 224% total return of the S&P 500 index. But more recently, it’s been a story […]
The “Magnificent Seven” stocks are no stranger to artificial intelligence (AI). These leaders in technology have been investing in the area to either improve their internal processes or to develop products. The “Magnificent Seven,” a reference to the 1960 Western, led the Nasdaq and S&P 500’s gains last year, and most continue to soar higher […]
We all want to own winning stocks that can produce strong portfolio returns. But the reality is that not all investments perform as you hope. Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) is one example. In just the last two years, this top auto stock has fallen 16% — and this was during a time that saw […]
In the five years leading up to its all-time high in January 2018, Carnival (NYSE: CCL) was a winning investment. Its shares jumped 86% during that time. It’s been a different story since then, though. This cruise stock currently sits 80% below its peak price. That’s even after shares soared 76% since the start of […]
I disagree with the adage that “opportunity only knocks once.” At least, I don’t think it’s always true with investing. That said, there are inflection points for some stocks after which things will never be the same. Looking for these kinds of once-in-a-generation investment opportunities? Here are three magnificent stocks to buy right now. 1. […]
Due to the temporary closures of gyms and other public spaces enacted to slow the spread of COVID-19, Planet Fitness (NYSE: PLNT) took a big financial hit during the early stages of the pandemic. But shares eventually recovered before hitting a new peak in November 2021. It’s been a difficult ride for shareholders in this […]
Like millions of Americans, I watched the moon eclipse the sun on Monday (which ironically stems from the phrase “moon’s day”). The next full solar eclipse visible throughout much of the U.S. won’t happen until 2045. When such rare opportunities arise, take advantage of them. I think that’s what Warren Buffett is doing — from […]
