Top 5 stocks you should considerย ย
A great profit quarter for a company will mean a sigh of relief for anxious investors. By contrast, a poor quarter could be the final nail in the proverbial recession coffin. Throughout 2022, many of the worldโs biggest companies have had mixed earnings signaling how damaging the effect of high-interest rates and inflation have been on performance.ย ย ย
From eCommerce giant Amazon focusing on new industries, to semiconductor manufacturer MRVL (Marvell Technology Inc) making waves in the tech sector, 2022 has seen some interesting developments in the global stock market.ย ย ย ย

ย Top 5 stocks to consider:ย ย
- AMZN (Amazon)ย
Roslyakov said: โAmazon is a leader in two markets set to grow in the double-digits this decade – e-commerce and cloud computing. Though the stock has slipped nearly 40% so far in 2022, the long-term picture remains bright. Amazon has the market position and financial resources to weather these times. The company’s revenue still is growing.ย ย ย
โAmazon shares are trading at its cheapest, in comparison to sales in the past six years. So, the best deal this holiday season and into the future may be Amazon shares.โย ย

Roslyakov said: โBAC is one of Berkshire Hathawayโs largest equity holdings and itโs cheap with a forward P/E ratio of 11.ย ย ย
โThe necessity and importance of banks in the worldโs global financial markets are imperative. Banks are at their cheapest prices in two decades. With looming fears of a global recession, the first to profit from this will be banks and financial institutions.ย ย ย
โThe importance of the banking sector in our global financial structure makes these stocks a huge attraction to investors and traders alike.โย ย

- MRVL (Marvell Technology Inc)ย
Roslyakov said: โMarvell Technology Inc is a leading provider of semiconductors used in a variety of sectors including enterprise, cloud, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets.

โInvestors in Marvell can expect to benefit from the companyโs strong market position, diversified product portfolio, and history of innovation. At the close of Q2 2022, 63 hedge funds held stakes worth $1.59 billion in the company.ย ย
