Stocks to buy

For nearly a year now, all eyes have been glued to the ‘Magnificent 7’ stocks. These superstar companies have delivered tremendous returns, attracting copious amounts of investment dollars.

At the moment, everything seems perfectly normal so targeting stocks for uncertain times seems a bit extreme.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who’s been mired in controversy ever since he was elected to the country’s highest office in 2016, is on his way to nabbing the Republican Party primary for a second time.

Big tech stocks have carried the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. These corporations produce products and services that have become household names.
