Generative AI is all anyone can talk about these days, so we'd expect it to be a massive investment opportunity. Our video looks at who stands to benefit most from generative artificial intelligence, and what some of the use cases might look like. Some of the main beneficiaries of the technology include banking support, high tech coding, and R&D in the life science industry. Interestingly,...

Invitae went bankrupt, and we lost everything. Well, not *everything*. But, we learned some valuable lessons we'll apply going forward. Today's video touches on our tech stock investing methodology, why we purchased NVTA stock in the first place, how we limited our losses, and what we'll do going forward to avoid another situation like this one. Why are we talking about our biggest los...

Blockchain is one of the many disruptive technologies we cover. It's also the only one with an annual "Crime Report". As of March 2024, the biggest application of blockchain technology, Bitcoin, was hitting new highs. With the rise of bitcoin price comes inevitable hype for "blockchain stocks". MicroStrategy MSTR is one such stock. Though the company's actual business i...

Recursion stock has seen quite a bit of hype after NVIDIA announced an ownership stake in the AI drug discovery firm last summer. We happen to like RXRX stock, so we decided to take a look under the hood and see if the company is living up to the hype. What we uncovered is a very capital-intensive business model that has so far been funded by injections from pharma partners like Roche, or by dilut...

AI stocks are all anyone can talk about. The very definition of the term "AI stock" has shifted so much that we're apparently calling Meta and Cloudflare "AI stocks" now. Our mission today is to look at the artificial intelligence hype and determine whether we're in the midst of another dot-com-type bubble, or whether it's actually different this time. To do that, w...

SCHD ETF has attracted a lot of attention from retail investors looking to get exposure to a diversified basket of dividend growth stocks with a low expense ratio. We've analyzed the ETF numerous times and found it to be the most attractive dividend growth ETF out there. But, can our own stock picks beat SCHD? They sure can. Recently, a couple of our BSD analysts put together a very detailed r...

The three-stock portfolio has been a hot topic on our premium Discord server lately, understandably so. This passive portfolio was the work of John Bogle, founder and ex-CEO of Vanguard, known for their low-cost index funds. Bogle's advice is so sound that it's resonated with a community of 120,000 people who call themselves "Bogleheads". The Bogleheads are a group of like-minded...

NVIDIA stock's massive success in the GPU market is thanks to huge generative AI demand. In fact, generative AI currently sits at the top of Gartner's hype cycle. So, what happens when that demand dries up? Will NVDA stock crash? The trough of disillusionment. This is where interest wanes as experiments and implementations fail to deliver. At a certain point, the market is likely to realiz...

Ginkgo Bioworks $DNA released their 2023 results, and it's not pretty. Downstream revenues are drying up, and milestone pool opportunities aren't providing as many growth opportunities as investors had hoped. Cell engineering revenues disappointed with only $144 million in 2023 versus the expected $175 million - flat revenue growth year-over-year. Will Ginkgo be able to turn this ship arou...

Fastly recently reported slowing revenue growth, leading to a -30% decline in share price, and then some. This stock has become very popular, leaving investors wondering whether there is any value to be had here. Today we'll analyze Fastly...

AI stocks are all anyone can talk about these days, so it's no surprise to see a hot new artificial intelligence stock hitting the market via an IPO.

While Rivian isn't likely to go bankrupt tomorrow, they&#39...

LUNR stock price has soared. Again. Intuitive Machines is planning their first private moon landing today, sending shares to the moon. We first covered this space SPAC one year ago when their shares were seeing a level of hype that was detached from reality. We're beginning to see that hype creeping back, so it's time to look at what's going on with LUNR stock and see if our thesis has...

Materials stocks don't get a lot of love from dividend investors because they're often overlooked. While making up only 2.5% of the S&P 500, the Materials sector contains lots of great dividend champions In this video, we discuss five materials stocks that also happen to be dividend aristocrats: Linde LIN, Air Products & Chemicals APD, Sherwin Williams SHW, PPG International PPG, a...

Brainchip stock is full of promise, but lacks execution. The company has achieved roughly $10 million in total revenue over the past decade. That's how much revenue we expect a company to make in a single year before we'd even begin to take a look at it. On top of that, Brainchip exhibits all the red flags we look out for, including press release overload and extensive "customers&quot...

Today we'll analyze NVIDIA stock using our simple valuation ratio as well as the traditional P/E ratio, and we'll do it step-by-...

Everyone is talking about JEPI, few are talking about holding JP Morgan's Equity Premium Income ETF is a bad idea. That's because 80% of the "income" being generated by this active investment strategy comes from selling covered calls. They're not covered calls, they're equity linked notes ELNs, people will say. Correct. JEPI's fund managers don't log into Robinhoo...

Wolfspeed stock keeps hitting new lows as investors ask an important question. Is WOLF stock a good buy or a trap?

Investing in Indian stocks is full of dangerous pitfalls, both for Indian domestic investors and especially foreign investors who are entering a market they know little about. The ugly truth is that Indian business culture has a reputation for scams that are pervasive across financial institutions, banks, startups, fintech, and publicly traded companies. To avoid all the bad apples, you'll nee...

SCHD investors have a lot of questions about dividend taxes, and it doesn't need to be so complicated. We explain in simple terms how qualified vs non qualified dividends are taxed with examples provided by someone else who did the heavy lifting. Does $SCHD offer qualified or non qualified dividends?

PayPal stock $pypl is trading down 20% since the last time we checked in - 18 months ago - at which time we said pypl stock wouldn't be interesting at any price. That's only because we invest in two areas - disruptive growth and dividend growth - and PayPal's days of disruption appear over. The problem PayPal has is trying to resurrect growth as management talks about focusing on curre...

EV stocks have destroyed retail investors with only two names out there worth looking at - BYD and Tesla. Unfortunately, there are some reasons not to invest in both which we discuss. Instead, why not consider investing in the components of electric vehicles - in particular, EV chips. While autonomous driving sensors (like those from Mobileye MBLY) may be a way to invest in autonomy across all veh...

The best dividend growth ETF comes down to SCHD vs DGRO - Charles Schwab vs iShares. That's after we vetted four other dividend ETFs with the lowest expense ratios. SCHD not only charges less than DGRO, they also have twice the assets which means more leeway for future fee reductions. It all comes down to the index each ETF tracks and their underlying methodologies. Performance, especially in...

IBM stock has performed poorly over the years as the company's two key metrics - revenue and free cash flow - stagnate. That's all water under the bridge as IBM has reinvented themselves now with (checks notes) yet another pivot into AI. IBM's AI creation Watson is now watsonx, and that subtle name change is supposed to make us forget about the Watson Health disaster. Based on comments...
