Think Oil Prices are Headed Higher? Buy These 3 Top-Rated Energy Stocks
The oil and gas industry is expected to recover strongly in 2021 amid easing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. But supply levels will likely take much longer to recover given the ESG and climate-change pressures on the U.S. shale industry. As a result, the risk of oil prices spiking in the coming years is substantial.

Avoid These 3 Electric Vehicle Stocks in February
The booming electric vehicle (EV) industry, with rising environmental awareness among people and government incentives, is expected to revolutionize the global automotive sector. However, the industry has become overcrowded, with several new companies causing a retreat in the sector.

3 Natural Gas Stocks to Buy in February: Cabot Oil & Gas, EQT, and Range Resources
The natural gas industry is expected to rebound to pre-pandemic levels this year as economies worldwide resume operations in their manufacturing sectors.

So, stocks like Cabot Oil & Gas (COG), EQT (EQT) and Range Resources (RRC) are well-positioned to ascend in the upcoming months we think. Let’s take a closer look at these names.
2 "Strong Buy" Hydrogen Stocks to Own for a Biden White House
Hydrogen fuel cell technology is one of the key focus areas in the clean energy revolution.

3 "Strong Buy" Tech Stocks with PE Ratios Under 15
The optimism surrounding COVID-19 vaccine development and distribution has slowed the tech rally that powered the stock markets last year. However, increasing dependence on technology along with rising concerns regarding the efficiency of global vaccine deployment should keep this sector’s momentum going in 2021. Because some tech giants are currently facing regulatory scrutiny, and because most big tech companies are trading at sky-high valuations, we believe that betting on reasonably priced companies like Sony (SNE), HP (HPQ) and Amkor (AMKR) should generate significant returns.
