In many respects, social impact bonds (SIBs)Footnote 1 can be understood as…

Energy stocks often experience cyclical swings, but the top stocks tend to be strong long-term investments because the world will continually consume more energy. But instead of sticking with the classic oil and gas stocks to profit from that trend, investors should consider buying some higher-growth plays in the solar and nuclear energy markets. Both of those growing markets should benefit from global decarbonization initiatives, making them more resilient investments than the top fossil fuel stocks. If you want to profit from that shift, you should invest in these two higher-growth energy stocks: Nextpower (NASDAQ: NXT) in the solar market…

The Great Rotation in equities is underway, with the U.S. large-cap tech sector losing its dominance as other sectors, markets, and asset classes take over. And dominance it is: Nvidia Corp.

But this was barely half of the international markets (per MSCI World ex-US Index) while specific long-ignored asset classes came to the fore: copper equities rose 82% while gold and silver…
