While many, if not most investors, appear bullish about the market’s prospects this year, it’s never a bad time to consider long-term dividend stocks.

Following the remarkable ascent of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) last year, it’s only natural for investors to consider the top tech stocks to buy for 2024. Yeah, I suppose that NVDA could again be a winner. It’s off to a great start and the underlying generative artificial intelligence sector should only blossom from here. Still, it’s risky

While avoiding a recession last year boosted sentiment for 2024, concerned investors may still want to consider stable stocks. You just don’t know what might happen next.

“The Dogs of the Dow” system involves purchasing the index’s 10 stocks with the highest dividend yields at the end of each year. Using the technique has a few major advantages.

Right around this time last year, InvestorPlace analyst Luke Lango made 10 big predictions for the stock market. His boldest included forecasting that 2023 would be one of the best years for stocks in history. Nine of the 10 predictions came true!

As we enter into the new year, we need to start looking into how we can make changes to our portfolio. One thing is unlikely to change from last year though. AI will likely continue to be at the forefront of the market. 2023 was the year of ChatGPT with AI exploding into the mainstream

Safety is never guaranteed in the financial markets. However, it’s a reasonably safe bet that Mastercard (NYSE:MA) will continue to reward its loyal investors with dividend distributions, quarter after quarter. Mastercard is a premier, blue-chip company that respects its shareholders, so my top dividend-grower pick for this year is MA stock. At the same time,

The streaming industry continues to struggle. The race to develop content and gain market share has left many companies overstretched and unprofitable.

Few things better represent stability than the ability of a company to pay

Cybersecurity stocks continue to be one of the hottest parts of the technology trade. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been getting all of the attention in the business press over the last year, most cybersecurity stocks have more than doubled in that time, trouncing the returns of the broader market. Best of all, analysts see

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD), commonly known as just AMD, put the critics in their place last year as AMD stock provided stellar gains for investors. As the company continues to develop high-demand artificial intelligence chips, there’s no compelling reason to dump your AMD shares in 2024. Of course, the skeptics will always find excuses to worry

Like other high-profile growth stocks, last month’s Santa Claus rally morphed into a New Year’s sell-off for SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI). The market’s general direction is not the only factor contributing to the weakness of SOFI stock. The fintech firm/neobank has been affected by an analyst downgrade. Despite recent focus on the bear case for SoFi,
