Forget Dogecoin, Buy These 3 Tech Stocks Instead
Despite its history as a cryptocurrency that started as a meme and was built with the intention of mocking the concept of Bitcoin, Dogecoin has gained fame recently. However, its wild rally has raised the specter of a price bubble and filled investors with apprehension. As such, we think Dogecoin should be treated as a digital currency that lacks the differentiation and utility to be meaningful. Instead, we point to technology stocks Intel (INTC), HP (HPQ), and Fujitsu (FJTSY) that have the potential to outperform the market even in the post-pandemic world, and as such deserve far more attention. Let’s discuss.
3 Stocks Benefiting from Rising Iron Ore Prices
High demand, primarily from China, has been driving a rise in iron ore prices.

3 Stocks Likely to Keep Trending Higher After Strong Earnings Reports
Solid first-quarter corporate earnings have so far proved to be a bright spot in the U.S. economy, which is still emerging from the brutal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sizable fiscal stimulus, continued monetary policy support, improved demand and recovering production capacity are some of the factors that have aided better-than-expected corporate earnings. After reporting impressive earnings, shares of International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), Goldman Sachs (GS), and The Blackstone Group (BX) have moved higher, and we believe they should continue gaining. Let’s discuss.
Forget Castor Maritime, Buy These 3 Shipping Stocks Instead
The shipping industry—the backbone of global trade—was impacted severely by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with a gradual economic recovery and an improving international supply chain, the industry has witnessed a quick rebound. But an established player in the sector, Castor Maritime (CTRM), is still reeling from the pandemic’s effects. So, we think investors looking to benefit from the industry’s recovery should instead bet on Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NPNYY), Costamare Inc. (CMRE), and Danaos Corporation (DAC) because they are fundamentally stronger companies.
2 Must-Own Nasdaq Stocks
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite has been outperforming the other popular indexes over the past month.

Two prominent stocks in the index, Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) and Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD), are expected to perform extremely well in the coming months because of their ability to capitalize on their respective industry tailwinds. So, let’s take a closer look at these names’ prospects.

Avoid These 3 Overvalued Stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Even though the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) rallied to record a high earlier this month, investors’ discomfort with President Biden’s proposal to raise the capital gains tax has caused a pullback in the index. In addition, the resurgence of COVID-19 cases could push the DJIA into a downtrend in the near term. Against this backdrop, we think it's best to avoid relatively overvalued DJIA stocks, such as The Walt Disney Company (DIS), Chevron Corporation (CVX), and The Boeing Company (BA).
