    History Says Predicting a Recession Is Risky. Here's What to Do Instead.

    Despite recent stock market declines in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, the U.S. economy continues to grow at 2.2% GDP with forecasts of 2.1-2.4% growth through 2029, indicating no imminent recession. The article advises long-term investors to maintain diversified portfolios in high-quality stocks rather than attempt to time the market, noting that the S&P 500 has historically delivered 9.98% average annual returns since 1928 despite major crashes and recessions.

    If I Were Brand New to Investing, This Is the 1 Surefire ETF I'd Buy and Hold for the Next 30 Years

    The article recommends the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) as an ideal long-term investment for beginners and experienced investors alike. The fund tracks 500 of America's largest companies, comprises about 80% of total U.S. stock market value, charges an ultra-low 0.03% expense ratio, and offers broad diversification across industries. While acknowledging concentration risk in top holdings, the author argues the heavy weighting of large tech stocks reflects their strong performance and that the index is actively managed with regular updates.

    AI Spending Is Nearing $1 Trillion Annually. These 2 Stocks Are Most at Risk If It Slows.

    Nvidia and Micron have benefited significantly from the AI infrastructure spending boom, with record revenues driven by demand for AI chips and memory. However, both stocks face substantial downside risk if tech giants reduce their AI investments. Nvidia's growth is heavily dependent on continued data center spending, while Micron operates in a cyclical memory business vulnerable to supply-demand imbalances. If AI spending slows, Nvidia appears better positioned to weather the downturn.

    Should You Buy AMD Stock Before Nov. 3?

    AMD stock has surged 164% in 2026 ahead of its Nov. 3 earnings report, but the author cautions against buying before the announcement. While AMD's AI accelerators and data center business show strong growth, the stock's 35x forward P/E ratio leaves no room for disappointment. The author recommends a gradual buying approach rather than a large position before earnings, noting that much of the easy gains have already been made.
