Stocks to buy

Stock picking is not easy. However, if done right, investors can reap plenty of riches. A well-timed investment can make people millionaires. Consider that $1,000 invested in Google parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG/NASDAQ:GOOGL) during its August 2004 initial public offering (IPO) would be worth $1.2 million today, and you get an idea of the benefits that

Following what billionaires and investing gurus are doing isn’t a bad strategy.

In June, annual inflation (from the most recent data) slipped to 3%, which on paper clashes with the concept of stocks to beat inflation. After all, NPR pointed out that the aforementioned statistic represented the lowest point since March 2021.

While the underlying concept of portfolio gold stocks might appear anachronistic as all heck, these days, shifting your attention to precious metals makes increasingly more sense.

Many investors aim to achieve passive income for comfortable retirements. This requires careful planning and financial discipline. One strategy is to invest in dependable dividend-paying stocks that have a history of stability and consistent payouts. Of course, not all dividend stocks are created equal.

The stock market has rebounded in 2023 following a year marked by rate hikes that pulled everything much lower. Leading indexes fell dramatically with the S&P 500 shedding 18.25% of its value.
