Have You Made Your First Trade?

People always hope for a good start, as it brings more confidence to face what comes next. In the stock market, there’s a saying that a strong January performance often signals a higher chance of market gains for the entire year. Conversely, if January ends in the red, there’s a higher likelihood of a down year overall. ---------------------- On the first trading day of the new year, do you think the market will close up or down? Will the market achieve the hoped-for positive start?

This Stock Has Dropped Over 60%—Is It a Hidden Gem? Hi everyone, and welcome to 2025! Let’s kick off the year with an intriguing topic.

Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares (SOXS)

SOXS, the Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares, is a highly leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to provide three times the inverse performance of the semiconductor sector. While it may seem appealing to traders looking to profit from the downturn of semiconductor stocks, SOXS is definitely not for the faint of heart. Today, for example, SOXS saw a sharp decline of over 10% as semiconductor stocks experienced a rally. This volatility can be both exciting and terrifying for investors, especially those with limited experience or tolerance for risk. It serves as a reminder of how leveraged ETFs like SOXS can be both a blessing and a curse, with potential for large gains as well as steep losses. Price Volatility and Risk Looking at SOXS's 52-week range of $17.73 to $70.70, it

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is well-positioned for long-term growth, benefiting from its leadership in AI and big data analytics.

The top 3 performers in the S&P 500 for year 2024 are all about AI. These 3 stocks, $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$, $Vistra Energy Corp.(VST)$ and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ are still hot on the investors’s list for year 2025. We also focus on new opportunities in the fresh year ahead. The share prices of $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ have entered attractive price zones with their recent market dip.
