When thinking about US stocks for Australian investors, it is easy to just name the Magnificent Seven and be done with it, but that'd be lazy.
The NYSE and NASDAQ are major exchanges with tonnes of companies other than the Magnificent Seven. The Dow Jones is home to 30 companies - a list that only includes…

What is the best US tech stock to buy now if you're an investor? Or perhaps the best Magnificent Seven stock? We think it is Alphabet (NDQ:GOOGL), which is the parent company of Google. With a US$2.1tn market cap, you might think any company of that size can't get any bigger - but we would…
Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) was in the SaaS/cloud space so long ago that back at that time (in the early 2000s) it was not even a thing. Most in our Australian audience will have heard of this company and used its software, which since 2021 has included Slack. They may also know it has a 55-storey office…
Investors asking themselves, 'Should I buy Apple shares from Australia,' are not just considering buying shares any company, but the world's largest. Capped at over $3tn, the Silicon Valley-based tech (and arguably luxury) company has risen to spectacular new heights since the departure and death of Steve Jobs, surpassing $1tn in August 2018, $2tn in…
Ventia Services (ASX:VNT) listed on the ASX in November 2021 at $1.5bn and is now capitalised at $4bn. Since listing it has recorded persistent revenue and profit growth. There is very little to complain about from a financial perspective, and it may still be undervalued. However, things aren't completely perfect for it.
Overview of Ventia…
Have some sympathy for Nufarm (ASX:NUF). Companies capped at over $1bn rarely plunge 30% after reporting results unless the results (or the outlook) were bad enough to warrant it, and this is just what happened earlier this week.
Introduction to Nufarm (ASX:NUF)
Nufarm is an agricultural chemical supplier and manufacturer - its most important is omega-3…
'The investor who says, "This time is different," when in fact it’s virtually a repeat of an earlier situation, has uttered among the four most costly words in the annals of investing'. This quote was said by John Templeton’s in his work '16 rules for Investment Success'.
Why Templeton thought 'This Time is Different' was…
Amazon (NDQ:AMZN) ... the Everything Store. That was the title of journalist Brad Stone's biography of the company as well as an accurate description of what the Magnificent Seven company does.
There's little not to like about the company. The dominant market position in existing markets, the ability (the employee brains and capital) to go after…
The Amanda Bardwell era at Woolworths (ASX:WOW) began in September 2024 after 8 years of Brad Banducci.
Several months into it and things do not appear to be much better for the Fresh Food People. But are things about to change?
Introduction to Woolworths
OK, it doesn't need an introduction. It is a chain of Australian supermarkets…
How will stocks be impacted by tariffs?
Its a long story, but few stocks can say that there'll be no impact. Even companies which could arguably be beneficiaries (like ship builder Austal (ASX:ASB)) are benefiting because of the tariffs.
Stocks that do business in the USA could be impacted, particularly if they manufacture and ship goods…
