And per cent has a space for some reason. The Financial Times and The Economist come to mind. The Economist has a new special report with a series of stories about how America is the envy of the world, economically s.

While this doesn't exactly make me the life of the party, it does lead to significant savings when I shop, whether it's finding a flight deal, like-new secondhand clothing, or major grocery savings.

What do the Great Depression, the Great Financial Crisis, the Stagflationary 1970s, and the upcoming 10-years have in common? If you are a strategist at Goldman Sachs , then a lot. At least if you do forecasts for market returns over the next decade (lol), you may see incredible similarities. ICYMI: David Kostin and his team of strategists see a 72% chance the S&P 500 underperforms Treasuries, and a 33% possibility equities return less than inflation.

The U.S. stock market has been on fire of late. But it doesn’t feel like we’ve entered the euphoric phase of investor psychology just yet. In fact, many prognosticators have been lowering expectations. Goldman Sachs put out a research piece that posits the S&P 500 could return just 3% annualized over the next 10 years (just 1% after inflation): These are their baseline assumptions and they offer a range o.

Earlier this week I wrote about how America is the envy of the world.1 There was plenty of pushback. Many Europeans pointed out we have plenty of other problems plus a far worse safety net than they do. Fair enough. There were also a lot of comments on inequality, even though I addressed that in the piece. It is worth noting research shows 40% of the rise in income inequality has been undone since 2020.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been in scintillating form on the stock market in 2024, reaching gains of nearly 180% as of this writing.

The stock's median 12-month price target of $150 -- as per 64 analysts who cover Nvidia -- indicates that there isn't much upside on offer as it points toward gains of just 9%

Buying high-yielding dividend stocks can be scary, even when it's not Halloween. You can be tricked into thinking that a high payout is safe, only to watch management cut it later on. And when those reductions come, not only will your dividend income diminish, but the market will likely bid down the stock price too. But there are some great dividend stocks to buy right now that not only have high yields but are also considered safe and can make for excellent investments for years to come.
