By that standard, the benchmark index is roughly 10 percentage points away from bull market territory.

Buying shares of great businesses that pay dividends to shareholders can lead to substantial dividend income down the road. A lower share price means you get a higher dividend yield. This means more dividend income to enable buying more shares of your favorite stocks. The snowball effect of earning more dividend income and rolling that into buying more shares can add up tremendously over decades.

Some investing decisions are easier than others. A high-growth stock with increasing profits at a low valuation could be a no-brainer buy. But if you take out the low valuation, it could become a real question. Similarly, investors might struggle to determine if a young, high-growth stock with an uncertain future is a better buy than a mature, lower-growth one that's well-established.

On the surface, 2023 has been a great year for stocks. The Nasdaq Composite is up about 25% year to date, and the S&P 500 is up around 10%. But dig deeper, and many industries and former market darlings have suffered brutal sell-offs. Most of 2023's gains have come from the growth of a relatively small number of big tech stocks. Several growth stocks , especially smaller names, are down big so far this year -- but that could spell opportunity.

If you’ve been following the news, it’s getting hard to sell electric cars. The Big 3, not so big anymore, are slowing development and production. Which is the exact wrong thing to do, because that will only put them further behind when the revolution comes, and it’s inevitable, and it will be gradual, then all at once.

CEO Elon Musk spent most of the earnings call speaking about the company's exploration of artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputing. However, it seems like Wall Street analysts were more concerned with the company's financial health than his comments. The combination of rising interest rates, inflation, and aggressive price cuts have indeed led to meaningful deterioration in Tesla's margins and overall profitabi
