At its GTC conference, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) gave investors 1 trillion potential reasons to buy its stock. That came in the form of CEO Jensen Huang projecting that data center infrastructure capital expenditure (capex) would hit $1 trillion or more by 2028. Investors, nonetheless, largely shrugged off the robust forecast and other upbeat news from the event.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has opened up terrific growth opportunities for companies in several industries. That's not surprising given the rapid adoption of AI in hopes of capturing long-term productivity gains. Ernst & Young's global strategy consulting arm estimates that generative AI could lift the global gross domestic product (GDP) by as much as $2.4 trillion over the next decade thanks to stronger productivity.

The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has only delivered back-to-back annual gains of 25% or more (including dividends) on two occasions in its history dating back to 1957: during the dot-com internet boom in 1997 and 1998, and during the artificial intelligence (AI) boom in 2023 and 2024. The gains over the last two years have been driven by some of the largest companies in the index, including multitrillion-dollar giants like Nvidia , Amazon , Apple , and Microsoft.

Many older Americans today would not be able to get by without Social Security. The Federal Reserve puts median retirement savings among 65- to 74-year-olds at just $200,000 as of 2022. That's not a lot of money to spread out over what could be 20 years of retirement or more. So naturally, people without much savings commonly end up falling back on Social Security to cover the bulk of their bills.

It's not much of an exaggeration to say there would be no generative artificial intelligence (AI) industry today without Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). The chipmaker's hardware was crucial for training and running the first large language model (LLM), ChatGPT. And investors have been richly rewarded with shares up by over 360% over the previous three years (at the time of this writing).

It's no secret that artificial intelligence (AI)-related stocks have sold off in the recent market correction. It's partly due to investors locking in gains, competitive concerns relating to Chinese start-up DeepSeek, and, most notably, valuation concerns. Consequently, focusing on companies with relatively secure market positions that trade on tempting valuations makes sense if you want to buy on the dip.

There are few businesses that have taken care of investors the way Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has. Since the company's initial public offering in 2002, shares have skyrocketed, rising 80,080% (as of March 19). This means that if you invested a small sum of just $1,250 back then, you would be sitting on a seven-figure balance today from this single investment.

Ideally, income seeking investors want to receive the maximum amount of dividends for the price they pay for one share of a dividend paying business. In investing parlance, this means seeking out stocks with higher dividend, or distribution, yields, or higher forward 12-month dividends per share for the current price of one share. However, should higher yields alone drive your investment decisions?

Like many other start-ups that went public by merging with special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) in recent years, QuantumScape overpromised and underdelivered. QuantumScape originally claimed it could commercialize its first batteries by 2024, but it still hasn't sold a single battery yet.

The silver lining to any stock market correction is that many excellent businesses trading at lofty valuations quickly become more palatable price-wise.

Millions of older adults depend on Social Security to make ends meet, and age 62 is the earliest most people can begin taking retirement benefits. The age you file will directly impact your monthly payments. Filing earlier than your full retirement age -- which is between ages 66 and 67 depending on your birth year -- will reduce your checks. If you file after your full retirement age, up to age 70, you'll collect a bonus each month on top of your full benefit.
