The artificial intelligence (AI) market exploded in 2023 and shows no signs of slowing. The debut of ChatGPT reignited interest in the sector and forced many to rethink what they thought was currently possible with the technology. As a result, countless companies pivoted their businesses to developing the industry. Data from Grand View Research shows the AI market is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 37% through 2030.

I think MSC Industrial (NYSE: MSM) , Freeport-McMoRan (NYSE: FCX) , and On Semiconductor (NASDAQ: ON) are three names worth looking at closely. They are all companies with excellent megatrends behind them and look set for long-term growth.

Some people go from working full-time to kicking off retirement and not working at all. That "hard stop" approach might work for some folks. But for others, easing into retirement with a part-time work schedule ends up being a better bet. And then there are also those who opt to continue working in retirement, whether to keep busy or supplement their senior income.

Yes, $1 trillion is a huge amount of money. It can, however, be hard to grasp exactly how big it is. So, here's an example: Imagine that $1 million was deposited into your bank account. Nice, right? Now, imagine deposits continued every hour, on the hour, every day and continued -- nonstop -- for 50 years. After all that time, you'd have $438 billion, a gargantuan amount of money.
