Motley Fool senior analyst Maria Gallagher discusses:

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) just had a great quarter, and its stock is rising as a result. Although shares are still down 16% year to date, Wall Street expects the e-commerce giant to keep growing because its business model seems to show resilience even during recessionary times.

Maintaining a portfolio of multiple stocks is just a smart idea. Diversification reduces the risk of unexpected developments and provides more opportunities for upside while also limiting the overall impact of stock-specific setbacks. The Motley Fool recommends building your port

When the Nasdaq Composite took a nosedive to start the year, it took many tech stocks down with it. Some of the worst-hit names were cloud computing stocks.

With two consecutive quarters of negative GDP, it's becoming more clear that the U.S. economy is slowing. While there is some disagreement about whether we are in a recession (recessions aren't official until the National Bureau of Economic Research says so), The sustained negati

It's not terribly difficult to find a good growth stock these days -- plenty of companies are plugged into red-hot trends. And it's just as easy to identify "forever" stocks: established leaders in markets that will last in perpetuity, like food and healthcare.

When you buy shares in a company, it's worth keeping in mind the possibility that it could fail, and you could lose your money. But on a lighter note, a good company can see its share price rise well over 100%. For instance, the price of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) sto
