Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) completed a 10-for-1 stock split in October 2024, and Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) completed a 4-for-1 stock split in December 2024. Interestingly, neither stock has beaten the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) since the splits were announced, which is somewhat atypical. Since 1980, stocks that split have outperformed the benchmark index by an average of 13 percentage points during the year following the announcement.

For most aging Americans, Social Security income isn't something they can make do without. Based on 23 years of annual surveys from national pollster Gallup, 80% to 90% of retirees rely on their monthly Social Security check to cover some portion of their expenses. Taking into account how vital this income is to the financial well-being of our nation's retired workers, perhaps it's no surprise that many wait on pins and needles for the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) reveal from the Soci

Warren Buffett, the legendary capital allocator who has headed up Berkshire Hathaway for decades, helped popularize value investing. This strategy involves buying companies at a discount to their intrinsic worth, with the hope that the market will bid up their shares over time. Even in today's market environment, in which valuations are at historically high levels, there are still opportunities to follow the Oracle of Omaha's successful investment philosophy.

The last month has been tough for stock investors. The benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index fell four weeks straight starting in mid-February, pushing it briefly into correction territory.

By Bryce Sanders As a financial advisor, you may encounter estate planning roadblocks with clients. The client may say something like, I dont need to write a will. Everything I have will go to my spouse and vice versa. Or they might say, My estate is not large enough to create estate tax issues. The thinking behind these types of statements is that the client is only considering what happens if they die with only the assets they have now.

The recent volatility in the S&P 500 compels me to reshare one of my core investing beliefs: Dividend stocks aren't just for income investors. Regardless of the investing strategy you follow, you can't go wrong owning some dividend-paying stocks that can earn you a steady stream of income even during volatile times. Over time, stocks that pay regular dividends and grow their payouts consistently often also turn out to be multibaggers.

If we knew a recession was coming, most investors would stop putting money into the stock market. To be fair, most stocks would likely fall -- at least a little -- if a recession were to arrive in the United States. First, a recession is coming. The only question is whether one happens soon, or at some point in the future. Historically, a recession happens in the United States every six to seven years and is a normal part of the economic cycle.
