Image source: Getty Images Will we see a stock market crash this month? It’s always possible. Shares can crash at any time, so it makes sense to be prepared. Sometimes, a crash comes out of the blue. That’s pretty much what happened on Black Monday in 1987, when automated trading strategies turned a dip into

There are plenty of strong growth and value stocks available to buy right now. If you’ve got $500 sitting around, there are shares of a few companies that you can scoop up. If you don’t have access to fractional shares at your brokerage, this task may be a bit more difficult. However, all of the

Sandisk stock increased 16x in the past year as demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure led to a severe supply shortage in memory chips and storage devices.

A couple of historical data points are painting a worrisome picture for Wall Street. For the better part of President Donald Trump’s first term in the White House, the stock market was unstoppable.

It’s important for investors to understand the market’s current state. With an historical average annualized total return of 10%, the S&P 500 index (^GSPC 0.43%) has proven itself to be a wonderful tool for people to build wealth. However, its gains in the past decade have been significantly higher than most observers probably would’ve predicted.

These Vanguard funds won’t necessarily keep you from losing money if the market crashes. But they can help cushion the blow. Investors may be getting spoiled. The S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.43%) has delivered double-digit gains for three consecutive years, with returns in two of those years topping 23%. The idea of a stock market crash

Artificial intelligence is still a major market theme in 2026. With the first month of 2026 nearly over, there are some themes starting to take shape.

However, if you paid attention to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing‘s (TSM 2.65%) fourth-quarter results, then you know that

The recent share price drop in Microsoft stock looks like an overreaction. The share price of Microsoft (MSFT 0.74%) sank despite the tech giant reporting strong quarterly results for its fiscal 2026 second quarter. The drop appears to be largely attributed to higher operating expense guidance and its dependence on OpenAI. The stock is now

The market’s focusing on the wrong details of this bold but admittedly expensive acquisition effort. There’s never a bad time to invest in a good company. Stepping in while its stock is down, however, is certainly a better time than the alternative. If you’re looking for a place to put some money to work for

There are several fantastic stocks to buy right now. If you’ve got $5,000 sitting around and are looking for some stocks to invest in, I can find few better options than these three.

Image source: Getty Images Gold soaring over $5,000 suggests investors might be scared of a stock market crash. Silver has reached over $100 an ounce too.
