American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s recent Mad Money game plan.

SpaceX is widely expected to be the largest initial public offering (IPO) of all time when it makes its debut on the stock market later this year. Elon Musk’s rocket and satellite technology trailblazer is reportedly seeking to raise as much as $75 billion at a staggering $2 trillion valuation. That would make it more

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:HON) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s recent Mad Money game plan. Cramer noted that while he expects “good numbers” from the company, such numbers do not seem to matter, as he commented: Thursday’s got some big ones. First, there’s Investing Club holding Honeywell. I think this will be a

The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) was one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s recent Mad Money game plan. Cramer said that it is “too soon for a turnaround” as he commented: Finally, on Friday, we hear from Procter & Gamble’s new CEO, and I think the quarter’s going to be weak. The last couple

The Nasdaq Composite index endured a torrid time in the first quarter of this year, shedding just over 7% of its value, with its momentum driven by factors such as the Middle East conflict, higher oil prices, mixed economic data, and the rising odds that the U.S. will soon enter a recession. However, the tech-heavy

The S&P 500 has had a volatile year so far. However, the benchmark is up 4% in 2026 (as of April 17). And in the past three years, it has climbed a notable 72%. But there’s a monster stock that continues to crush the market. Over the past three years, this business has seen its

Rare-earth stocks — that is, companies who mine or process any of the 17 silvery-white heavy metals crucial for tech and green energy — have been some of the market’s biggest winners over the last year. Just consider this: Since April 2025, the VanEck Rare Earth and Strategic Metals ETF, which includes MP Materials, has

The S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.20%) hit a fresh record high on Wednesday, April 15, capping off a spectacular recovery from its recent 9% peak-to-trough decline. Investor sentiment turned positive after the U.S. and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement on April 8, leading to the eventual reopening of the critical Strait of Hormuz waterway which handles

The most successful investors are those who emphasize continual learning. There are always lessons that the stock market is teaching. Just in the past decade, for instance, the S&P 500 index has experienced multiple drawdowns of greater than 10%. The takeaway is that volatility can’t be avoided; it’s just a part of how things work.

What a difference a few weeks can make on Wall Street! As of the closing bell on March 26, the mature-stock-driven Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI +1.79%) and innovation-fueled Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +1.52%) were both in correction territory, with the broad-based S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.20%) one bad day away from joining them. But as of

Some investors might see the S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.20%) sitting at an all-time high and think there’s not a lot of value to be found right now. Bill Ackman is looking at it and asking investors to give him $10 billion to deploy in some of the best opportunities he sees. The hedge fund manager

Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) is one of the most watched AI stocks on the market. It has massive popularity, but has struggled this year. While most of the AI segment of the stock market has rallied in recent weeks, Palantir’s stock continues to fall and is now down 35% from its all-time high. However, on May

If the Iran war is truly “over,” that would be good news for humanity. It would also be good news for stock markets. Investors in U.S. stocks reacted with enthusiasm to last week’s ceasefire in the Middle East — the S&P 500 index and tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 index both reached new all-time highs on Friday. What

It’s no secret that equity investors have a lot of things on their minds. They were already concerned about the overall economy at the start of the year. The Iran war and the potential economic fallout took these worries to a new level. Investors’ most immediate concern is the effect of the rapid rise in

When investors think about the “Magnificent Seven” these days, the conversation usually revolves around artificial intelligence (AI) and the staggering sums of money being spent to support it. And the capital expenditure plans coming from some of the biggest names in tech are truly mind-boggling. Will AI create the world’s first trillionaire? Our team just

If the stock market has (re)taught anything just since the end of February, it’s that it’s still very unpredictable… at least in the short run. The S&P 500‘s sizable 9% pullback in March has since been unwound with an amazing rebound of more than 10% in just four weeks. Nobody really saw either swing coming,

While the market has reversed course in recent weeks, it remains to be seen where the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) will end up at year’s end. Wall Street’s perfomance has been mixed, but in the wake of the Iran war, much of the Street has been slashing its price targets. JPMorgan Chase cut its forecast,

The war in Iran has created a lot of volatility in the markets, and many stocks are experiencing fluctuating prices based on little more than conflicted investor sentiment.
