Small-cap stocks got hammered in the market's sell-off earlier this year. That's because Wall Street became convinced that the global growth story was dead.
But the Internet of Everything market is experiencing explosive growth. It's expected to top 50.1 billion connected devices by 2020 and $14.4 trillion in sales by 2022.
Small-cap stocks got hammered in the market's sell-off earlier this year. That's because Wall Street became convinced that the global growth story was dead.
But the Internet of Everything market is experiencing explosive growth. It's expected to top 50.1 billion connected devices by 2020 and $14.4 trillion in sales by 2022.
In just the first six months of 2015, U.S. firms spent more than a quarter of a trillion dollars on share buybacks.
And federal data shows that corporate buybacks, which have been rising for years now, are likely to grow even more between now and 2020.
The really good news for tech stocks is this: Technology companies make up the bulk of firms that are racing to repurchase their stock.
Many Wall Street predictions show tepid returns across all markets for the rest of 2015, so we're recommending a tech investment for the rest of the year.
The play is the SPDR Technology ETF (NYSE Arca: XLK). It's a great stock to buy because it offers a profit play on the entire tech sector.
Here's why we're so bullish on this tech ETF now...
The 51st Bi-Annual Paris Air Show was the event of the year for the Aerospace industry.
Held in Le Bourget Airport in Paris, France, this prestigious air show has brought together industry leaders from across the globe to hunt for new commercial opportunities - and over 2115 exhibitors marketing their latest and greatest projects.
As the largest and longest-running aerospace trade show in the world, the Paris Air Show features companies from over 44 different countries, 285 official delegations, 3,100 international journalists, and nearly 139,000 professionals year after year.
But you don't have to be perusing the Parisian halls of Le Bourget to be a part of the action.
But that is just the tip of the iceberg...
One of the best-performing subsectors in tech can be played with this technology ETF.
Additional gains are expected in this industry in 2015, thanks to growth prospects and M&A activity.
Keep reading for the best tech ETF to buy to play the industry's growth and M&A wave.
The tech sector is bonding: Avago Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: AVGO) recently agreed to pay $37 billion for Broadcom Corp. (Nasdaq: BRCM).
Back in March, NXP Semiconductors NV (Nasdaq: NXPI) said it's making an $11.8 billion acquisition of Freescale Semiconductor Ltd. (NYSE: FSL).
Our 2015 top stock picks show that it's been a good year for information technology and data center solutions.
But we're not as thrilled about companies like International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE: IBM) and its sudden turnaround in stock price.
Here's what we're more excited about this year...
Choosing the right exchange-traded fund for you means searching through a long ETF list of candidates - which is why we cut down the list to three solid picks for you today.
It's a great time to make a pick from this technology ETF list. The Nasdaq is up 6.2% in 2015, which the Dow is up only about 1.3%.
Here are the three tech ETFs we like today...
Today, there are more than 1,600 ETFs. From clean energy to private equity to short-term volatility, there's an ETF for nearly every sector and investment strategy.
We alerted readers to one of tech's newest and best profit opportunities in early February. And seemingly every week, we see another screaming "buy" signal for this top investment.
The investment is a technology ETF that focuses on one of the most important and fast-growing industries today: cybersecurity.
This week's buy signal came when the White House acknowledged that Russian hackers penetrated parts of the White House's computer system in recent months.
If you've ever seen the movie "All the President's Men," then you know that maxim of investigative journalism - Follow the money.
The same idea applies to investing, of course, and today we're going to follow the money CEOs plan to spend over the next half-decade - and then use that knowledge make some cash ourselves.
According to a survey I just read, our nation's top executives plan to spend a lot of money on technology that will help them attract, retain, and understand customers.
That may sound, at first, somewhat vague. After all, there is no "retaining customers" tech sector.
But after digging into the survey - doing a little "investigative investing" - I figured out exactly where those CEOs will be spending their dollars in the next five years.
Despite the tepid forecasts of some media pundits, 2015 is shaping up to be a strong year for stocks - and especially tech stocks. And folks who pick the "right" profit plays can do even better than the market.
Here's how to grab those market-trouncing gains.
When Minghao, a 12-year old Chinese boy, was playing soccer earlier this year, the seemingly healthy player had no idea he was on the cusp of devastating news.
During the game, he headed the ball; it was a simple maneuver regularly seen throughout any match. The next day Minghao (a pseudonym) woke up stiff, sore, and with a severe aching in his neck.
Doctors examined him and, after tests, delivered the type of news that every parent dreads...
Their son had a malignant tumor known as Ewing's sarcoma in the second vertebra of his neck.
Conventional surgery to remove the vertebra was not a promising option. Recovery would be prolonged and the conventional remedy of inserting a titanium tube, held in place by cement and screws, was especially ill-suited for Minghao. As he grew there was a very real chance the bones around the tube would impede and damage it, creating their own dire set of consequences.
What happened next is one of the most exciting breakthroughs I've come across in my career. It's nothing short of revolutionary and, for the companies involved, an equally awe-inducing investment opportunity... Full Story
If you couldn't get a piece of the largest IPO in history a couple of weeks ago, you weren't alone.
The Alibaba IPO will go down as the greatest wealth opportunity of a generation - but only about 4% of the $25 billion worth of stock went to individual investors.
Wearable tech is expected to grow 78.4% through the end of 2018. If we want to get on the road to wealth that tech provides, then this is a sector we must cash in on.
But I don't want us to get hurt by messing with risky stocks.
