AI stocks and chip companies have been the talk of Wall Street in 2023. Generative AI is the catalyst that has propelled those firms and their shares sharply higher this year.

Biotech stocks may offer some of the most explosive opportunities on the market. For one, we have millions of baby boomers demanding better care.

In 2023, that number is expected to be even higher. That being said, now is a great time to invest in EV stocks with
