Historical data is a guiding light for investors during uncertain times. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index was established in 1957, so its 66 years of performance history can be helpful in predicting the stock market's next move. For example, the S&P 500 suffered a brutal drop in 2022, but the odds were in favor of a comeback in 2023 because consecutive annual losses are incredibly rare.

Image source: Getty Images It's a good time to buy an electric vehicle (EV). Never before have EVs had longer battery ranges, impressive 0-60 mph times, sleek styling, and enough tech wizardry to convert any last remaining Luddites. But there's still one small problem for EVs: many are expensive. The average transaction cost of a vehicle powered by electric motors and batteries is more than $51,700, according to Kelley Blue Book.

What comes to mind when you hear the term "value stock"? Few investors would immediately think of any electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, not to mention an unprofitable one like Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN). Yet in an industry that's still growing and evolving, value seekers might choose to cut Rivian some slack. Defining "value stock" in the EV space may require an extra measure of flexibility, with the bull case for Rivian stock contingent on progress rather than perfection.

Doubling your money is good; tripling it is even better. But catching the proverbial 10-bagger is something altogether different. It's the sort of game-changing investment that can help set someone up for life. And while generating 10x returns isn't common, it's far from unheard of. Take Microsoft , for example. That stock has generated a total return (price appreciation plus dividend payments) of 1,100% over the last 10 years.

That means the other 97 did better than that. These three stocks also delivered some of the best gains of 2023, and a slight dip in the last month might give investors the opportunity to buy.

When a stock pundit increases their price target on a company's shares, they tend to rise at least modestly in price. Unfortunately for stockholders of storied tech hardware company Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) , the opposite occurred on Thursday -- their company lost 0.4% of its market value following the move. That, however, more or less matched the drop of the S&P 500 index that trading session.
