Elon Musk is a predator -- by which I mean to say, he eats competitor profit margins for breakfast. Since setting up SpaceX in 2002 as a launcher of large rockets to compete with Boeing (NYSE: BA) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) , Musk has methodically moved to take over the entire space industry -- or at least its most profitable parts -- piece by piece.

Warren Buffett has never claimed to be able to predict what the stock market would do over the near term. In a 2008 op-ed for The New York Times , he wrote, "I can't predict the short-term movements of the stock market. I haven't the faintest idea as to whether stocks will be higher or lower a month, or a year, from now." However, I suspect the legendary investor could have better predictive abilities than he would ever acknowledge.

There's a huge difference in the maximum retirement benefit of someone claiming as soon as possible at age 62 and someone who waits until their benefits have completely maxed out at age 70.

Is Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock overvalued? This question, while simple on the surface, is extraordinarily hard to answer. Many investors use a valuation metric called a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio. This popular metric is useful because it measures the stock price against a company's profits. And in Nvidia's case, its P/E ratio of 57 certainly looks expensive, considering it's roughly double the P/E ratio for the S&P 500.

I'm a huge fan of dividend stocks. I love to collect the passive income they send me. On top of that, dividend stocks have historically outperformed non-payers by a wide margin (9.2% average-annual total return versus 4.3% since 1973, according to Ned Davis Research and Hartford Funds). Dividend growers have delivered the best returns (10.2%). That's why I focus on companies with excellent histories of dividend growth that seems highly likely to continue.
