Substantial progress on the COVID-19 vaccination front and fiscal stimulus packages have raised investors’ confidence in small-cap stocks’ prospects. Consequently, Wall Street expects fuboTV (FUBO) and Gain Therapeutics (GANX) to almost double in value in the coming months. So, let’s take a closer look at these two names.
3 Industrial Stocks to Buy on the Dip
The industrial sector is now leading the U.S. economy’s resurgence after being severely impacted last year. President Biden’s proposed $2 trillion-plus infrastructure spending bill should further boost the sector’s growth.

Stay Away from These 4 CBD Stocks
The cannabis industry has been seeing plenty of new opportunities off late thanks to increasing legalization in the United States and the increasing use of Cannabidiol (CBD). However, growing concerns surrounding the legality of CBD in dietary supplements could negatively affect the sales of CBD producers. This, along with uncertainty surrounding the legalization of marijuana at the federal level in the U.S., makes the prospects bleak for financially weak CBD stocks Canopy Growth (CGC), Village Farms (VFF), Charlotte’s Web Holdings (CWBHF), and Neptune Wellness Solutions (NEPT). Let’s discuss.

The electric vehicle (EV) industry experienced tremendous growth last year. However, a global semiconductor chip shortage and overvaluation concerns have caused EV stocks to retreat this year.

2 Energy Stocks to Buy, 2 to Avoid
The global economic recovery from COVID-19-driven damages is supporting a steady recovery of the energy industry. While some energy stocks are expected to continue riding a wave created by rising oil prices, the initiatives of governments worldwide to transition to an emissions-free future make the prospects bleak for many energy companies.

Hence, analysts recommend buying fundamentally stable consumer goods company The Procter & Gamble (PG). However, the unimpressive recent financials of Unilever (UL) are a concern and analysts recommend avoiding it now. Let’s discuss.
