Stock Market

Ashish Kyal, Waves Strategy AdvisorsMarketIf you look at the overall, broader market, I think Nifty Bank has consolidated since it formed a high around 23rd April, and then from there onwards, for almost a month, it has been consolidating in a range, which is more like a time correction rather than a price correction. Prior to that, we saw a spectacular rise from 49,000-odd levels to 56,000 that was a very sharp move in just five days of time and a one-month correction. And that’s a very healthy sign, because...

Positive domestic sentiment and favorable global cues played a significant role in lifting the market throughout the day.

The RSI is above 60, indicating strong momentum. On lower time frames, the stock has broken out of a falling wedge channel, which further confirms the bullish setup and suggests a potential rally in the...

Many of today's top growth stocks are trailing the market this year as investors worry about tariffs. Even though the U.S. and China earlier this month announced a deal that postponed the larger part of President Donald Trump's 145% tariffs on Chinese imports (and China's reciprocal 125% tariffs on U.S. goods) for 90 days, the tariff overhang remains. That deal left most Chinese imports into the U.S. facing a still-hefty 30% tariff, and imports from most other nations are still under their new tariff regimes. Many of those countries have...

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM -2.02%) is currently one of my top stock picks. Although there are concerns about Taiwan's geographical location, the company is taking steps to ease them. While it's doing that, there's a massive demand for chips, and TSMC is rolling out new technology later this year and next to meet that need. If you weren't aware already, TSMC makes the actual chips for most all the biggest semiconductor companies. Because of that neutral stance in the chip world, I think it's one of the best ways to...

It takes money to make money. The good news is that if you have a big chunk of money to invest, you can potentially make a lot of money on that investment. That's if you chose the right investment. Realty Income (O 0.63%) has been a great investment over the years. The real estate investment trust (REIT) has steadily grown its earnings and dividend during its three decades as a public company. That has enabled it to create a lot of value for its shareholders. The REIT is in an...

Though stocks are a bona fide long-term wealth creator, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite don't move from Point A to Point B in a straight line. Numerous catalysts -- including President Donald Trump's ever-changing tariff and trade policy -- whipsawed Wall Street in April. An exceptionally rare period of outsize gains for the benchmark S&P 500 bodes extremely well for future stock returns, based on what history has to say. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › For well over a century,...

With the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) showing signs of rolling over again, potentially revisiting their April lows, many investors are frozen. But this isn’t a time to panic. It’s a time to sharpen your edge. And in this market, fundamentals won’t help you. Earnings season has made one thing clear: CEOs and CFOs have no idea what’s coming in the next six to twelve months. Macro uncertainty is off the charts, and the data is changing daily. That’s why I keep hammering the same point: now is...

The stock market is a fantastic arena that allows the average person to generate life-altering wealth. The broader indexes have done well. However, investors who want to supercharge their returns can certainly look to identify individual businesses that have what it takes to boost portfolio gains. In the past decade, this one category-creating enterprise has seen its shares soar 1,250% (as of May 20). This rise would've turned a $1,000 investment back then into $13,500 today. Anyone would be pleased with this kind of result. Continue reading to learn more about...
