I would never recommend that investors go overboard on high-risk stocks. At the same time, it’s important to remember that millionaires are not made by investing in low-beta stocks. For young investors, there needs to be some brave portfolio allocation that delivers multibagger returns in relatively quick time.Depending on the age of an investor and risk-taking ability, I would recommend 10% to 20% exposure to high-risk stocks. When I talk about risk, it does not imply speculative stocks. The idea is to con ...

With growth stocks under $5, the focal point is rather obvious: putting woodwork on the ball as aggressively as possible. Of course, swinging for the fences comes with significant risks. You can end up missing slightly and ruining a perfectly good opportunity to add in a run or two. Still, the rewards for getting it right are quite enticing.When you’re behind in the ballgame by a big score, you need a big inning. That’s just the reality of the situation. In most other circumstances, you probably should adop ...

I strongly believe that investors need to have a dynamic approach when it comes to the world of modern investing. For sure, long-term investment delivers the best results. However, it makes sense to capitalize on all good opportunities. Be it the meme frenzy, penny stock investing or considering exposure to short-term profit stocks.I personally like the idea of allocating 15% to 20% of my portfolio towards short-term profit taking. First, it becomes a source of some cash inflow on a regular basis. Further, ...

The search for top flying car stocks is on. Growth investors initially piled into this industry last year, with many top players in this potential trillion-dollar industry (by 2040) seeing sharp gains.Unfortunately, many top electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) companies have seen stark declines this year as growth investors eye other high-growth sectors such as AI. That’s how trends work.But for long-term investors looking to grab a piece of this potentially massive space before it explodes, getti ...

The S&P 500 index is trading near all-time highs. Dozens of blue-chip and quality growth stocks have surged higher and trade at rich valuations. With the possibility of rate cuts, it’s likely that the markets will remain in an uptrend and I expect euphoria to strike meme and penny stocks.However, it’s time to be cautiously optimistic given the market valuations. I would stay away from stocks that are purely speculative and represent companies with poor business fundamentals. Instead, the focus should be on ...

Growth stocks have been driving the market for most of its history, but the trends have only accelerated recently. Investors are willing to slap a higher and higher premium on these growth stocks as long as they can beat earnings and keep their growth figures high. Certain growth stocks currently trade at 15-20 times forward sales, and many believe they could go even higher.That said, there are many growth stocks in the market right now that barely trade at a premium. This is mostly due to profitability iss ...

The S&P 500 index is trading near record highs, and the overall outlook for the market is likely to remain bullish. While GDP growth has decelerated, the markets seem to be discounting multiple rate cuts in the next 12 to 18 months.

The euphoria is likely to be broad-based in the coming quarters. Therefore, it’s a good idea to allocate a small part of the ...
