Tesla 's (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock has had an up-and-down year, but its shares were surging higher following its third-quarter earnings report and upbeat forecast for future deliveries. Having recouped the negative returns in the first half of 2024, the stock is currently around breakeven for the year.

When I was young and dumb, I was always impressed by finance people who used jargon and overcomplicated things.

In the tech sector, the general sentiment for 2023 and 2024 has been that if it's not involved in artificial intelligence (AI), it gets ignored. I'm just as guilty of this as others, which has caused me to miss one of 2024's best-performing stocks: Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX).

Generous dividend yields can be dangerous. Double-digit dividend yields often show a company is in deep trouble, where a stalwart series of boosted payouts couldn't drive stock prices higher. At the same time, cash-machine businesses can power their payouts from excessive cash flows, resulting in a strong yield that can last for many years. Fortunately, a couple of perfectly healthy high-yield dividend stocks are on fire sale right now.
