Successful investing involves looking beyond short-term headlines to find a strategy that endures. When looking for the best growth stocks for the next 10 years, investors should leverage fundamental analysis to find companies that have durable competitive advantages and consistent expansion in revenue and profits. The following nine stocks have established scale and a great long-term track record. Some are…
Most investors spend the majority of their time worrying about things they can’t control. Interest rates. Elections. Recessions. Oil prices. Inflation. Geopolitics. Whatever the financial media is focused on that day. The problem is straightforward. None of those forces care what we think. Markets move with or without our permission, and they often move in ways that defy even the…
Investors tend to move in groups, like lemmings. Sometimes that pushes stocks to unsustainable heights. Other times, it leaves good companies with deeply unloved stocks. Bubbles are a huge risk, but down-and-out stocks can be a huge opportunity for long-term investors if you do your research. That’s why you should dig into these three stocks today. Here’s why each one could be…
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to create a new kind of retirement account, expanding access to retirement plans for workers who aren’t offered one through their employers. Trump first mentioned this plan in February during his State of the Union address. Under the plan, these new retirement accounts will utilize the so-called “Saver’s Match,” 2022 legislation that mandates the federal government…
Some people assume that successful investing is all about finding the perfect stock at the perfect moment. It’s an appealing idea. The notion that one brilliant pick can change your financial trajectory. And yes, a great stock can certainly help. But after decades of watching how real investors behave, and how real portfolios grow (or don’t), I’ve become convinced that…
Whenever there’s a change in the CEO position, there’s the potential for big changes in how a company is run. And that can put investors on edge, especially for a business that’s been doing well. Apple (AAPL) is one of the most valuable companies in the world, with a market cap of around $4 trillion. Despite its already large value, the stock…
Nvidia (NVDA) built a near-monopoly on AI compute. For the past three years, every major AI company— Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT) — has relied on its GPUs to train and run models at scale. That worked — until the economics changed. So Big Tech isn’t just buying chips anymore. They’re building their own. This post originally appeared at InvestorPlace.
Defensive-minded investors looking for income will often gravitate toward high-dividend, low-volatility stocks. These are companies that offer above-average payouts relative to a benchmark like the S&P 500, while also exhibiting lower beta, a measure of how sensitive a stock is to broader market movements. Specifically, investors can review the underlying index methodology of passive ETFs to understand exactly how holdings are…
Investors recognized artificial intelligence’s (AI) potential to transform industries, supercharging many tech stocks in recent years. That enthusiasm shifted to alarm in 2026. AI’s transformational potential includes agentic AI that can independently execute tasks previously handled by software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies, leading to a massive sell-off in SaaS stocks. This “SaaSpocalypse” extended to the cybersecurity sector after AI giant Anthropic released artificial intelligence…
If AI can generate content, write code, analyze data, and automate workflows at near-zero marginal cost, it’s easy to imagine a world where abundance becomes the norm. But that narrative overlooks something fundamental. AI doesn’t run on ideas. It runs on infrastructure. Behind every AI model is a massive physical system—data centers consuming enormous amounts of electricity, chips that take…
