In this article, we will look at the 15 Cheap Stocks Under $50 to Buy Right Now.
On February 26, Ed Yardeni, Yardeni Research president, appeared on CNBC’s ‘Closing Bell’ to talk about his thoughts on the tech trade and the market’s standings. He stated that on December 7th, he rebalanced his recommendation on Mag7 and recommended underweighting them, thinking that there was going to be too much competition as a result of all of the money they were spending on data centers. He also went Overweight on going global instead of staying home. Those things, according to him, turned out pretty well, and there is still a way to go. For him, it is actually very healthy for the continuation of the bull market, but it is not a lot of fun for those who are still overweight by the Mag 7.

Yardeni was further of the opinion that the euphoria on AI was not sustainable, and turned into AI fatigue. Now, it has become AI fear, and is turning into almost an AI derangement syndrome, with people going off on the deep end about how this is going to result in major job losses and all sorts of other dire predictions. He himself considers them extreme reactions and believes AI to be a “great tool”, one that can be used to increase productivity. While he sees that as a positive, the market right now is going through all sorts of mental gymnastics.
