A Great Stock For Back-To-School Season
I just dropped my kids off for their first day back at school. Many parents are doing the same. Back-to-school shopping is always an adventure. But I started thinking about whether any of these companies trade on the stock market. And one really jumped out at me. There’s no company more tied to education and […]
The Fed Crashes The Stock Market!
Interest rates are back on everyone’s mind. The Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) met last Wednesday to discuss what to do with interest rates. It was a very important meeting because the Fed has a new chairman. Kevin Warsh replaced Jerome Powell at the end of May, and last week’s Fed decision was the first […]
Tech Stock Goes On Sale After Earnings
We’re in the middle of earnings season and Wednesday was a big day for tech stocks. In particular, it was a huge day for one major tech company. Alphabet Inc. (ticker: GOOGL) reported earnings and blew everyone away. It reported a 23% increase in revenue as well as an almost 300% increase in earnings per […]
Semiconductor Stocks Crash
Semiconductor stocks have been the darlings of the stock market in 2026. For the first 6 months, the industry had more than doubled and really drove a lot of the stock market gains. It makes sense since semiconductor chips are in high demand to develop artificial intelligence (AI). However, once the calendar flipped to July, […]
A FAANG Stock Is Dirt Cheap Right Now

Is A Beaten-Down Behemoth A Buy?
The stock market has been charging ahead over the last few months. Since the end of March, the S&P 500 has surged almost 15% and reached a new all-time high in early June. But not every stock is doing so well. Nike (ticker: NKE) is one of the top brands in the apparel industry. However, […]
A New King In Coffee?
People love their coffee. I’m not one of them, but I can spot a trend when I see one. Our area just got a new coffee shop a few months ago, and it’s packed. We needed police officers directing traffic because it was so popular! Months have passed, and it’s still jammed with customers. There’s […]
Inflation Is Great News For These Stocks
Last week there was some big inflation news… and it wasn’t good. Inflation measures how much prices rose over the past year. And prices jumped 4.2% in May, the highest percentage increase in over 3 years. The inflation report caused the Dow to drop almost 1,000 points after its release. Higher inflation is bad for […]
Huge IPO Is Just Around The Corner
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are an exciting time for investors. A new company is going public and will start trading on the stock market. IPOs create a lot of buzz. And a huge one is coming up.
