3 Hidden Gems in the Penny Stock Market That You Need to Know About

Investors are attracted to penny stocks because of the small amount of capital needed for a large amount of exposure and upside potential. On the other hand, penny stocks carry a lot of risk for investors. They are some of the most volatile stocks in the market. It’s not uncommon to see over 50% swings in just a single day.

Penny stocks are best in moderation, as a supplementary piece to an overall investment portfolio. This is because of the inherent risk of huge losses that could happen at any time. But, if you can scale a position properly with a penny stock that has tons of momentum, it has the potential of being an extremely profitable investment.

Having some exposure to penny stocks for their growth potential is good, but don’t be too heavily reliant on them. Below are three different hidden gem penny stocks with huge upside potential. Mullen […]

3 shares to buy from the 3 hottest ASX sectors right now

Maybe you are sick of hearing this, but it doesn’t make it any less true: it’s a turbulent time for ASX shares at the moment.

With much of the world still struggling with both high inflation and steep interest rate rises, it’s touch-and-go whether some of the largest economies will fall into recession.

In such a time, Bell Direct market analyst Grady Wulff suggests targeting three specific ASX sectors to buy into: energy , retail and healthcare .

“For energy, there is one specific stock in there that we have a really high outlook on,” Wulff said at the Australian Shareholders Association conference this week.“Investors have fled retail stocks… but there’s value in this space when you look for value shopping.”Healthcare has outperformed the market over the last decade, she added, but there are still “quite a few opportunities” right now.So here are three ASX shares from those industries that Wulff and […]

Uranium makes its return

Though 2023 has been called on more than one occasion “the year for uranium”, it nevertheless remains in public consciousness a commodity of some controversy.

History is dotted with nuclear-related incidents — Chernobyl, Fukushima, the Kyshtym disaster — and it’s these moments that spring to mind when we think of uranium. But that is perhaps a testament more to the rigidity of human memory than anything else.

The reality, in fact, is that technological advancements in recent years have made nuclear energy a viable weapon in the fight for reliable green energy. Give me the elevator pitch

The primary force behind uranium’s surge in recent years is climate change. The ability to produce huge quantities of carbon-free power is something entire countries, like South Korea and Japan, are building into their respective energy mixes.Another factor is the influence of supply and demand. Roughly 200 million pounds of uranium was consumed last […]

Image: Richard de Lisle (pictured), manager of the VT De Lisle America fund Plummeting price to earnings ratios across US consumer cyclicals have created abundant niche opportunities, despite fears of a looming recession.

Richard de Lisle, manager of the VT De Lisle America fund, argued the US market contained various opportunities in niches including boat manufacturers, with Malibu Boats a key pick for the manager.
