Top 4 Undervalued S&P 500 Stocks to Have on your Radar

1 2 This is an interesting time to look at value investing opportunities. Earnings trends have been difficult and the potential for a “value trap” is high.

1 2 One of the biggest changes that may be coming in a post COVID-19 world is in healthcare.

The disruptive potential in artificial intelligence (AI) technology is huge and it seems to be hitting at a just the right time. When things normalize, it’s possible that the medical profession will have to streamline and it’s possible that they will be more inclined than ever to seek out technology as a mea...

This was the Most Bought Stock by Insiders Last Week

5 Undervalued Tech Stocks to Buy Now

1 2 The technology sector has been a huge outperformer for well over a year. If you were to take a ratio of the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 to the S&P 500, you would see the trend in the relative strength highly favor the Nasdaq since the December 2018 low. It’s not exactly unusual to see technology lead in a bull market, but that’s not exactly what we’ve been experiencing. However, the predominance of a handful of tech names have weighed heavily on the market and has led to this dynamic. As you break down the Nasdaq, you can look at the percentage of stocks above their 20-day, 50-da...

3 Retail Stocks with High Short Interest to Buy

1 2 As many parts of the country look to partially reopen after May 1, the opportunity appears to be filtering down to the retail space that has been hit hard.

However, like many stocks, the market oftentimes looks at the change in expectations as a reason to buy, and opening stores sooner rather than later may change near-term expectations. As you...

3 Low Debt, High Cash Mid Cap Value Stocks to Buy

1 2 As you look at the major market indices, the movement is being dominated by a handful of stocks. You can probably reel off their names by heart because you probably use their devices, software, shopping platform or social media app. These behemoths are the market, and so when the market goes down, these stocks will likely lead it lower. As a result, trying to look behind the scenes at companies that don’t drive the market can be significant. Since indices typically use market capitalization as a measure to weight the individual stock weight, you can use market cap to find smaller ...

5 Healthcare REITs to Buy Now as the US Now Leads the World in COVID-19 Cases

1 2 A real estate investment trust is a company that owns, operates or finances real estate. The corporate structure is a pass-through entity for tax purposes as investors pay taxes and not the company. One requirement of the REIT to keep this status is that they have to pass through 90% of the company’s taxable income as dividends. This feature is attractive for investors seeking current income and it helps the REIT attract capital for investment in real estate projects or other investments. Like stocks, REITs fall into different sectors of the economy, but are all classified as REIT...
