I own exactly two technology stocks, International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) . Technology changes so quickly that I'm reluctant to buy trendy stocks in the sector, but old stalwarts with long histories of rewarding investors with dividend increases are right up my alley. Of the two tech stocks I own, I think IBM is the most misunderstood. Not just today, but from a big-picture perspective. Here's why and why I'm happily buying more shares every time I get a quarterly dividend check. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading
You're pretty new to Social Security, and while you may have gotten a few checks, there are still some things you're not sure about. For example, you know your benefits will get a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) next January, but you don't know what that'll look like. Truth be told, no one does until the Social Security Administration announces the official COLA later this year. But if you unders...

2nd T20i: Eng, 168-5, bt India, 142-9, by 26 runs India’s decision to retire out Bhatia in run chase backfires Freya Kemp smashed an unbeaten 39 from 13 balls as England finally unleashed some batting firepower to post 168 for five and beat India by 26 runs in the second T20 international. Kemp found able support from Dani Gibson as England’s two finishers added 39 from the final two overs to level the series. The pressure told on India’s fielders, who – after earlier offering Sophia Dunkley a life on nought – twice let the ball slip through their fingers, as Kemp and Gibson showed off their athleticism between the wickets. But mostly the runs came courtesy of good placement and huge power hitting, as Kemp in particular let loose her arms, smashing two sixes and four fours down the ground. Continue reading...

magical_light/iStock via Getty Images Income investing appears to be quite straightforward, as an investor needs to simply: Find securities that pay high yields Buy them And then sit back and let the dividends flow The basic concept is indeed simple, and it is part of the beauty of being an income investor. However, there are numerous pitfalls that income investors fall into that can ultimately sabotage their portfolio and lead to very disappointing long-term results. This is why many times investors buy a high-yielding investment that looks perfect on paper, only to later have it slash its distribution and/or see their principal erode significantly. In this article, I'm going to share four common misconceptions that are extremely costly to income investors. Hopefully, you can use the lessons from this article as a diagnostic tool to help you think about your income investment selection process more clearly and hopefully make fewer costly mistakes over time. Misconception #1: High Yield Automatically Means High Income The first common misconception is that high yield automatically means high income. Ultimately, yield is just a ratio, not a measure of the actual durable income. Mistaking a high yield for sustainable income over time is one of the biggest and most expensive mistakes an income investor can make. Keep in mind that just because a stock has a high yield does not mean it is a phenomenal income stock. In fact, many times it means just the opposite. This is because stock yield rises whenever a stock price falls, meaning that many times the higher-yielding stocks are the ones that have seen their stock prices fall the most dramatically recently. Now, this may genuinely reveal a golden buying opportunity, but many times it signals a yield trap where smart money exits a company because it sees that the company has major issues ahead, whether they be balance sheet issues or issues of the actual underlying operating business that it expects will lead to its divid...

Joe Hendrickson What are the best prediction market stocks right now for investors? Seeking Alpha analysts The J Thesis and Caffital Research offer their picks. The J Thesis : Quite honestly, I’d have to go with the biggest names, such as Robinhood ( HOOD ), Interactive Brokers ( IBKR ), and Coinbase ( COIN ). Why? They have the biggest platforms, alongside the largest user bases. I think that’s important and could accelerate prediction market adoption. These platforms also have solid reputations, and that’s significant for new products. Prediction markets are becoming an important tool to forecast the future. I think the segment remains in the early innings, and that’s why adoption remains crucial. I think prediction markets will eventually become an offering to an everything app. That’s why I’d go with the best platforms out there. Caffital Research : I believe that DraftKings ( DKNG ) and Flutter Entertainment ( FLUT ) are the best prediction market stocks. These picks do seem unintuitive on the surface; the current market narrative is that as the two U.S. sports betting leaders, the companies are disadvantaged by competition arising from prediction market platforms. What makes DraftKings and Flutter attractive picks are the companies’ own entries into prediction markets. DraftKings Predictions and FanDuel Predicts increase the companies’ market reach into new states and contract categories while benefiting from the brands’ previous billion-dollar marketing investments that have created widespread brand recognition. For now, disruption from other prediction market platforms has been minimal. Both stocks have been on a sharp downward trend, pricing in the rise of prediction markets as a significant headwind but forgetting the market launches as a potential tailwind.

Since their invention in the 1970s, retirement accounts like the 401(k) and the traditional IRA have been touted as ideal ways to tuck money away for retirement. And in many ways, they live up to the hype. Tax-free growth of tax-deductible contributions to these vehicles really lets you rack up gains without being held back by tax concerns along the way. As with most choices in life, however, this one comes with trade-offs. Although postponing taxes -- and simply managing the taxation of this money -- has its obvious benefits, retirement accounts have their downsides too. To this end, here's a closer look at five reasons why you might not want to keep all of your retirement savings in an IRA or 401(k) . Continue reading

That also means that Backrooms is an incredibly profitable movie, with an estimated $10 million budget. By comparison, the latest Star Wars disappointment cost $165 million and was considered affordable c … Read the full story at The Verge.
