This unique indicator has correctly forecast the direction the benchmark S&P 500 would move 18 out of 18 times since the start of 1945. For well over a century, Wall Street has been a wealth-creating machine. Though other asset classes have been successful in helping investors grow their nominal wealth, including real estate, bonds, and commodities such as gold and oil, nothing has come remotely close to matching the annualized returns of stocks over extended periods. But just because Wall Street is unmatched in the annualized return column over the long run, it doesn’t mean stocks aren’t susceptible to periods…
Up until 2025, FuboTV (FUBO 1.17%) was something of an also-ran in the streaming wars. It was attempting to build an independent streaming service even as content giants like Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) were building their own services. FuboTV has posted a lot of red ink and has less than 1.7 million customers to show for it. But things are likely to change materially now that FuboTV and Disney have inked a deal around Hulu. But what exactly will FuboTV look like in three years? What has FuboTV achieved? To be completely fair, FuboTV has actually done something pretty impressive.…
It’s not a fluke. Gold has trounced the broader market over the past 25 years. Gold’s value dates back to humankind’s earliest years. It remains a safe-haven asset to this day. The heightened uncertainty in the stock market has caused a literal gold rush. Gold, priced in U.S. dollars, has soared nearly 24% over the past year. But zoom out, and gold is up over 900% since 2000, trouncing the S&P 500 index’s 489% over that stretch. Newmont Corporation (NEM -3.20%), the world’s largest gold mining company, has surged over 40% year-to-date. Should you invest in Newmont Corporation today, or…

This streaming video giant may have more room to run. Shares of Netflix (NFLX 0.40%) soared to a record high after its first-quarter earnings report exceeded Wall Street expectations. For the period ending March 31, the streaming giant posted a 13% year-over-year revenue increase. Its earnings per share (EPS) reached an all-time high of $6.61, up 25% from the prior-year quarter. With the stock price up 71% over the past year as of this writing, some investors might assume it’s too late to buy Netflix. However, this thinking risks overlooking the big picture, as the company’s outlook is bolstered by several…
These real estate investment trusts (REITs) yield 4% or more and offer double-digit growth in some cases. Buy them, hold them, and reinvest the dividends. Real estate is the oldest asset class in the book — it’s timeless. But most individual investors lack the connections, knowledge, and financial resources to invest in commercial properties. That’s where real estate investment trusts (REITs) come in. These publicly traded companies acquire and lease real estate. They distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders as nonqualified dividends. It makes REITs fantastic choices for dividend investors. Here are three world-class REITs covering…

If you listen to the general narrative in the automotive industry, it’s a dire one that warns of highly affordable and advanced Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) sweeping the globe in dominating fashion. There’s certainly a lot of truth to that narrative, but many promising EV companies in China are busy battling themselves amid a brutal price war. Nio (NIO -3.47%) is included, and despite the ongoing Chinese price war, the company has a couple of reasons for investors to remain optimistic. Profitable battery swaps?
