Top ten stocks that will always be populat

Today I want to write an unusual article because I am not sharing the financial models or discussing fundamentals or risk management. I want to devote this article to the ten exciting stocks that will be popular among investors. I don’t like to write this kind of article because the stocks that you will choose will depend on your risk appetite and investment goals, but the reason why I am writing this article is to show you how I approach the initial stock selection stage and maybe you will learn something new. But always remember Everything I discuss and write here is only my subjective opinion and can differ from your trading/investing goals. You can use this article as an alternative opinion to your existing point of view but not as the main element to building your investment strategy.

The second point I wanted to make is that I will not analyze financial statements and will not talk about valuations to make this article less boring. I will only speak about the initial stock selection stage and why some stocks deserve the right to be very popular among investors. If you are interested in stock fundamentals and trade recommendations, you can always try this fantastic iOS stock market application that will provide you with trade recommendations based on three critical indicators. You can also try the “stock target price” application to calculate the stock target price, define the right time to trade stocks, and extract investment ideas. And always remember that even the best company’s stocks can cost 0 at some point. No one can give you guarantees, but if you buy a value stock, companies with a solid future, you have greater changes, doubling or tripling the value of your investment portfolio. I will talk about good short-term and long-term stocks. Let’s start.

AAPL. I would not buy this stock for the short term. But this is a great stock for the long term. And here is why. Apple stocks are not experiencing great monet now, not only due to the inflation pressure. They make the same products yearly and have no element of surprise. Moreover, the rebellions in the factories reflect the high cost of production. But on the other side, Apple devices are getting more popular. Based on the analysis of the user’s devices that attend my website, I can say this. Windows and android users held a 60% share among website attendees one year ago. This percentage dropped to 45%, and 55% of users are macOS and iOS users. Apple products are user-friendly, convenient, and fast (especially with the new M1 and M2). Moreover, the AppStore has a very strong app policy and checks all the latest applications that come to the store. It increases security and ensures that AppStore will be populated with quality apps. Long story short, apple still has a lot of space to grow, slowly taking android and windows market share. These factors can positively affect the company’s fundamentals in the long run.

NVDA. Yes, the demand for video cards may be worse than it was a couple of years ago due to the crypto prices decrease, and the production cost of the chips is getting higher due to increased raw material and transportation costs. Moreover, people are not buying video cards or other equipment often, probably once in 4–5 years. Add the tough money market conditions, and you can conclude that the stock will be of little popularity in the short run. However, the stock has great potential for the long run, as the consumers are increasingly demanding, the company has plenty of space to improve and present new great products. The IT industry is developing with giant steps with the Meta verse and artificial intelligence. Moreover, the media industry demands more and more sophisticated products yearly. With the NVDA being the leader in its industry, I believe that the demand for processors and video cards will be very high in the long run. The costs will get lower in the long run as the inflation pressure will ease, and the profit margins will increase, making the NVDA more attractive.

V. With the increasing MM rates, the Visa company will benefit as the rising cost of money will be reflected in the percentage income. When the market booms, the V shares will also be popular, as when the inflation pressure eases, the consumers will be willing to spend more, increasing the V services usage.

CROX. It is an American footwear company. The stock wouldn’t be able to rebound quickly, and the stock dynamics depend on the economic cycles. But this stock is a good buying opportunity for the long run. The valuations tell me that the stock is undervalued and trading cheaper based on its competitors. That is why the stock has a good upside potential when the economic tensions decrease.

F. Ford is a great company. The stock price is trading close to the bottom and will not rebound quickly; they will likely experience higher costs in the short and mid-run (1–5 years) because they are switching to green cars and moving their production and facilities to other countries. It will result in higher costs. But the stock is fundamentally very attractive, and I believe the company would benefit from current high capital spending in the long run.

RENT. I like the concept of this company and its service. They rent the clothes to the customers based on the subscription plans. I think the ideas are unique, and the company has a promising future. It has a cheap stock price. I would not recommend investing much into that stock, as it is highly volatile, but I believe it can surprise you in the long run. However, short-term investors can also benefit from the stock’s volatility if they learn how to feel the stock’s movements.

BABA. It is a Chinese company Alibaba. They specialize in E-commerce. It is a big company with very strong fundamentals. However, this stock has a huge political risk. The Chinese government is regularly imposing strict regulations on the market. These regulations can negatively affect the stock’s price and cause a significant share price drop within a short time frame. If you cannot analyze political regulations, you can avoid this stock. Also, this stock can represent a great interest among short-term traders as this stock tend to rebound very quickly after a sharp decline.

ADBE. This stock is trading on its 3-year minimum level. I believe it can be a good guy opportunity because the company has consistent financials and a lot of space to grow. According to the management report, the company has ten times more revenue increase perspective (based on the total obtainable market) from its current levels. Moreover, the ABDE services are connected closely to web and mobile development because developers need UI/UX-friendly applications. Because the IT industry is developing rapidly, it creates an excellent space to grow for ADBE. However, I don’t believe that the stock can rebound quickly and start rising again in the short term, and I don’t think it could be a good buy opportunity for short-term traders.

WMT. No matter what happens to the economy, people will always want food and essential everyday life products. That is why the Walmart company is a good buy idea for the long run. In the short run, I don’t think the company has great upside potential, but the good thing is that the company’s stock tends to rebound fast after rapid declines. It can be a good opportunity for short-term traders.

BUD. It is a multinational drink and brewing company. The stock is an excellent choice during economic stress because people consume many alcoholic beverages when they experience tough times. Moreover, the company seems attractive compared to its peers (based on ratios). This stock can also be a good buying opportunity for short-term traders as the stock tend to rise rapidly.

I discussed ten of the most interesting stocks, in my opinion. Please keep in mind that this is only my vision. In this article, I only described the initial stock selection stage, the basic analysis of the company’s product or service.
