I entered the workforce in 2005. That means I’ve been working in the investment business for 20 years now. The longer I’m in the money management business the more there is to learn but these are some of the things I’ve learned thus far: 1. Experiences shape your perception of risk. Your ability and need to take risk should be based on your stage in life, time horizon, financial circumstances and goals.

However, the reality is that things can and usually do get in the way. Unfortunately, two huge issues are steamrolling toward a collision with America's senior citizens.

By Elizabeth M. Dipp Metzger, CFP, MSFS In working with the affluent — clients with a net worth between $5 million to $250 million — I’ve found they value simplicity, especially when they have complex financial planning issues. Sometimes they have complicated financial plans or wills and trusts that an attorney wrote for them, and yet the clients don’t necessarily understand them.

Famed investor Warren Buffett is known for finding quality businesses at a good value and holding them over time.

You're a very happy investor if you've owned Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) or Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) over the past year. Since the start of 2023, Nvidia's stock is up 530%, while Supermicro's has risen an astounding 1,300%. In other words, if you invested $10,000 in each company on Jan. 1, 2023, you'd have nearly $205,000.

Social Security can make or break retirement for many older adults. Just over 20% of U.S. adults age 50 and older have no other retirement income outside of their benefits, according to a 2023 survey from the Nationwide Retirement Institute, so it's wise to squeeze every penny out of your monthly checks. Retirement benefits are the most common form of Social Security, and you generally become eligible for them once you've worked and paid Social Security taxes for at least 10 years.

Energy is a very difficult sector for dividend investors to invest in because of the dramatic swings in oil and natural gas prices. There are a few energy producers, like ExxonMobil and Chevron , that have managed to reward investors with reliable dividend growth through the cycle, but they are the exception and not the norm. For more conservative income investors a better energy option is the midstream niche of the energy sector, where giants Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) and Enbridg

Smart investors are always looking for stocks to buy that can be held for the very long term. This is important because the holding period matters. The stock market goes up more years than it goes down, meaning the longer a stock is held, the better its chances of benefiting from the overall market's movements. However, only some stocks go up over time, which is why investing in the right companies also matters.
