There is quite a race going on in terms of market cap. Microsoft , Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) , and Nvidia are battling to find out which company is the largest in the world. Although the lead can change daily, Microsoft currently holds it by about $100 billion over Apple. While that's a massive figure, if Apple's market share increases by $100 billion in a single day, that actually equates to a 3.1% rise in its stock price, which is hard to grasp.

Social Security is an essential lifeline for many retirees. About half of households with someone age 65 or older receive at least 50% of their income from the program, according to data collected by the Social Security Administration. Without Social Security, millions of seniors would be living in poverty. Since many seniors are reliant on Social Security for their living expenses, the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is an important part of their benefits.

Investors who strive for a specific investment return should love dividends because they are concrete returns you can't lose once paid. For example, suppose you want to earn 10% on a stock you own for a year. If that stock pays a dividend yielding 5%, you're already halfway to your goal! You can rest easier knowing you have something to show for your investment and aren't entirely at the mercy of Wall Street's (often irrational) volatility.
