Cathie Wood Just Bought More of These 2 AI Stocks

2025-10-14 20:23:45 By Jennifer Jones

Cathie Wood had yet another helping to some of her favorite large-cap AI stocks over the past month. Indeed, as interest rates fall and Donald Trump makes his return to the White House, I see Cathie Wood and her line of Ark Invest funds standing out as major winners. Undoubtedly, the stage may very well be set up for Cathie Wood to make another rise to fame — something I predicted in my prior pieces. The big question is whether another frenzy will start in the new year, as investors opt to take on more of a risk-on appetite by going for growth.

Over the past month, the flagshipARK Innovation ETF(NYSEARCA:ARKK) soared almost 20%, a remarkable comeback move that could act as some sort of turning point for Cathie Wood and disruptive tech at large. In this piece, we’ll look at two of the more recent Cathie Wood buys and spoiler alert: they’re both relatively cheap AI plays.

Key Points About This Article

  • Cathie Wood’s portfolio could thrive under the Trump era as deregulation and low rates take hold.
  • AMD and Meta stand out as timely AI stocks Cathie Wood has been buying up of late.
  • If you’re looking for some stocks with huge potential, make sure to grab a free copy of ourbrand-new “The Next NVIDIA” report. It features a software stock we’re confident has 10X potential.

Advanced Micro Devices

Advanced Micro Devices(NASDAQ:AMD) stock may very well be Cathie Wood’s new favorite way to play the semiconductors. Undoubtedly, AMD has the grand ambition to catch up to the greatNvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA), a firm that’s picking up the pace today but could be in for a slowdown at any point over the next five years. Should Nvidia experience a relative slowing of pace, AMD is the firm that stands to profit.

In a prior piece, I referred to AMD as an underdog with a shot at going after Nvidia with its new line of 2025 chip launches. The price of the stock may have changed, but my viewpoint has not. With Wood hiking ARK Invest’s stake in the name by around $15.7 million on the latest dip, I’d argue it’s a good time to consider doing the same if you’re keen on placing a bet on an AI juggernaut that we cannot count out of the AI race here or likely ever. Further, if AMD stock keeps retreating lower from here, I’d not be surprised if Wood had yet another helping to shares.

While AMD’s recent outlook, which followed a decent Q3 number, may have fallen short of expectations, I view the latest plunge in the stock as way overdone! Shares have lost nearly 33% of their value from peak levels while mostly sitting out on the latest market-wide Trump bump (or Trump rally). To make matters worse, some may view the company’s latest plan to cut jobs (by about 4%) as a potential concern.

Shouldn’t AI firms put their foot on the gas rather than cut back?

Despite the surprising cuts, I don’t think the growth profile will be slowed down in the slightest. CEO Lisa Su knows what’s on the line, and she’s ready to put up a fight to gain ground in chips.

Meta Platforms

Meta Platforms(NASDAQ:META) may one day become Wood’s new favorite Magnificent Seven stock, given she took profits onTesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) stock while adding to Ark Invest’s META position. With a hip new wardrobe, a song with T-Pain, and the same aggressive growth plans, CEO Mark Zuckerberg seems like a man on a mission.

It should be obvious why Meta is one of the newest apples of Cathie Wood’s eye — it’s investing heavily in growth, but, perhaps most importantly, the company has a pretty solid batting average. It’s these two traits that may one day crown META as the world’s largest company.

Take Threads as an example of an innovation quietly evolving into another money-maker for Meta. Looking ahead, Threads will begin serving ads, adding another potential cash cow to its social-media family of apps, which is the cash engine behind Meta’s more ambitious long-term bets.

Also, with Trump coming back to the White House and tech deregulation potentially on the horizon, I’d argue that nothing can slow the firm down as it looks to become a more aggressive grower in 2025 and beyond. Indeed, Meta received quite a bit of flack in the past for buying up rivals like Instagram.

If Trump’s administration is more conducive to mega-cap M&A, I’d look at Meta as a firm that could really benefit from more dealmaking. It has a cash-producing business that can feed its seemingly insatiable appetite to invest in growth. And with Trump in the White House, I think Meta will have a pass to feast.

Sure, Wood isn’t exactly what you’d consider a deep-value investor. However, with META shares going for just north of 23 times forward price-to-earnings (P/E), I view the Magnificent Seven titan as incredibly undervalued, even if not all of its growth projects end up hitting the spot.

Prediction: Tesla Stock Will Hit $2 Trillion By 2025

Tesla’s(NASDAQ:TSLA) stock continues to surge, as investors continue to price in a much better competitive environment for the EV maker relative to its peers. Impressively, Tesla stock is up around 45% on the year, but 55% over the past month alone. That means that the stock has not only made up its earlier losses on a year-to-date basis over the past month, but is now pushing toward a fresh all-time high.nextstayCCSettingsOffArabicChineseEnglishFrenchGermanHindiPortugueseSpanishFont ColorwhiteFont Opacity100%Font Size100%Font FamilyArialText ShadownoneBackground ColorblackBackground Opacity50%Window ColorblackWindow Opacity0%WhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan100%75%50%25%200%175%150%125%100%75%50%ArialGeorgiaGaramondCourier NewTahomaTimes New RomanTrebuchet MSVerdanaNoneRaisedDepressedUniformDrop ShadowWhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan100%75%50%25%0%WhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan100%75%50%25%0%I’m not sure if Tesla will have enough momentum to hit a new all-time high this year.

The potential removal of tax incentives for new EV purchases will likely impact the sector disparately, with Tesla’s cost advantage over its peers and its already-profitable operating business insulating the company from this key headwinds.The general view in the market right now is that Tesla is the cleanest shirt in the pile. And if competitors are forced out of business due to their vehicles becoming too expensive for the average car buyer, Tesla’s market share advantage could grow in the U.S. This potential catalyst, alongside Trump’s likely additional tariffs against China, could essentially turn the U.S. market into a monopoly of sorts for Tesla over time, which some believe could lead to much higher future profits as previous Tesla owners trade in their used vehicles for newer models.We’ll see. But it’s clear that Donald Trump’s relationship with Tesla CEO Elon Musk is generally perceived to be a good thing. And whether Elon Musk is able to achieve the rather incredible $2 trillion savings target he’s set out to hit with his so-called “Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” or not, reduced tax credits and increased tariffs could be a boon for business when it comes to Tesla.Wall Street Believes in Tesla’s PotentialA street sign showing the corner of Wall Street and Broad Street in New YorkThe important thing to note about Tesla’s recent move is that it’s not just retail investors who are piling onto one side of the boat. Rather, Wall Street analysts have grown increasingly bullish on the EV maker of late. Amid the stock’s impressive rise, Bank of America analyst John Murphy maintained his buy rating on the company while raising his price target to $350 for Tesla stock. At the time of writing, this price target increase amounts to a bump of less than 5%, though this price target did reflect roughly 18% upside at the time the call was issued. That’s just how fast Tesla stock is moving right now.Tesla perma-bull Dan Ives increased his  buy rating on the stock to a target of $400. Both analysts appear to be bullish on the company’s positioning in the market with the changing tax incentive and tariff structure, but both also have pointed to the potential for the Trump administration to be much more friendly toward Tesla’s future “Full Self Driving” (FSD) applications to regulators over the coming year as a key reason to own this stock.Not to be outdone, Cathie Wood and her team recently set a rather incredible (and partly unbelievable) $2,600 price target on Tesla stock based on the Cybercab’s success, implying upside of more than 700% from current levels. I think this price target is crazy, but crazier things have happened. We’ll see.A $2 Trillion Could Be Only the BeginningA ticker chart showing prices and a green arrow heading higherIf we’ve learned anything about Tesla and its investor base, it’s that there are more Cathie Wood-like investors out there than bears. That sort of eternal optimism around the ability of Tesla (and Elon Musk) to continue to find a way to create outsized shareholder capital with the resources they have available is what makes this stock and this story so incredible to watch.Given the company’s recent momentum, and Musk’s positioning in aligning himself closely to Donald Trump, there are key fundamental political drivers behind this stock which could buoy Tesla for some time to come. If everything lines up the way many expect, a $2 trillion valuation could certainly be in the cards next year."The Next NVIDIA" Could Change Your LifeNVIDIA has returned 250-fold in the past 10 years as artificial intelligence took off.But if you missed out on NVIDIA's historic run, your chance to see life-changing profits from AI isn't over.The 24/7 Wall Street Analyst who first called NVIDIA's AI-fueled rise in 2009 just published a brand-new research report named "The Next NVIDIA".The report outlines key breakthroughs in AI and the stocks ready to dominate the next wave of growth.

Forget Amazon: Buy These 2 ETFs Instead

Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is on fire heading into the second half of November. On Nov. 13, it hit an all-time high of $215.09, up 43% in 2024.

Both are actively managed and charge a reasonable 0.35% or $35 per $10,000 invested. One possible solution to your Amazon dilemma is to take the amount you intended to invest in Amazon and invest half of it in JEPQ, which has AMZN stock in its top 10 holdings with a 4.4% weighting. The other half would be invested in the second ETF named below. JEPQ is the more recent of the two JPM ETFs. As of Sept. 30, it had $16.8 billion in net assets. The top 10 holdings accounted for 44% of its net assets.Apple(NASDAQ:AAPL) is the top holding, at 7.7%. The ETF’s managers seek to generate income by selling options and investing in U.S. large-cap growth stocks. It pays a monthly distribution that yields 9.35%, comprised of dividends and options premium income. Ultimately, it wants to deliver a similar return to theNasdaq 100 Indexwith less volatility. The other possibility is to buy some JEPI, the older of the two JPM ETFs. It seeks to achieve the same things as JEPQ, only it looks to deliver a similar return to theS&P 500with less volatility. Morningstar rates it five stars. Amazon is the seventh-largest holding in the ETF’s top 10, accounting for 1.5% of its $36.0 billion in net assets. It yields  7.06%, about 6x the index’s current yield.    Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF (VCR)To boost your Amazon holdings while maintaining a diversified portfolio, you would invest the second half of the amount you intended to invest directly in AMZN stock in theVanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF(NYSEARCA:VCR). As its name suggests, VCR looks to invest in consumer discretionary stocks, tracking the performance of theMSCI US IMI ConsDiscretionary25/50 Index. The index is 302 large, mid, and small-cap U.S. consumer discretionary stocks.  The 25/50 represents caps on the ETF and index. The 25 means it can invest no more than 25% of the net assets in one stock, and the sum of the weights of stocks with 5% or more should not exceed 50% of the ETF’s net assets. That’s in place to protect diversification.The top three sub-sectors by weight are Broadline Retail (24.60%), automobile manufacturers (14.90%), and restaurants (11.0%). The median market cap of the holdings is $142 billion, with approximately 65% of the holdings being large-cap stocks. The top 10 holdings account for 58% of the net assets, with Amazon the top holding at 21.67%. Based on Amazon’s share price, three shares of VCR would be equivalent to one share of AMZN.VCR charges just 0.10%.  "The Next NVIDIA" Could Change Your LifeNVIDIA has returned 250-fold in the past 10 years as artificial intelligence took off.But if you missed out on NVIDIA's historic run, your chance to see life-changing profits from AI isn't over.The 24/7 Wall Street Analyst who first called NVIDIA's AI-fueled rise in 2009 just published a brand-new research report named "The Next NVIDIA".The report outlines key breakthroughs in AI and the stocks ready to dominate the next wave of growth.

Getting Fit with Wii Fit

Why does a video game console worth a mention in Fashionese Daily? That is, because us ladies (and gents), are considering to incorporate some exercise into our routines. I personally stopped striving to be a size 2 (of which I’m not). I do, however, strive to have more energy during the day, so I don’t feel like needing to take a nap at 3pm. But then again, we always find excuses on why we can’t find the time to exercise for all the silly reasons (my favorite excuse: I’m too lazy to find parking at the gym).What is Wii Fit?Wii Fit is an exercise game in Nintendo Wii, using a proprietary tool called “Wii Balance Board”. It is called the Balance Board because the main theme of the Wii Fit is to improve overall fitness by way of developing better posture and balance.How does it work?The main component of the Wii Balance Board is the four sensors located in the four corners of the Balance Board. Inside these sensors is a strain gauge. Oversimplifying terms, the strain gauge works like a very thin stretch band (aka.“karet gelang”). The slightest pressure would strain the band (bayangkan menarik karet gelang), and a micrometer movement in the strain gauge will then be translated into how many kilograms of weight shifted. Uhm, yeah, something like that. Next!(more…)

Trump has promised to lower corporate taxes and press for deregulating the banking industry. The corporate tax rate will be cut to as low as 15% for companies that produce goods and services in the U.S. from its current level, and he promised to eliminate 10 regulations for every new one created.Reform of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) could also give a boost to the financial technology sector and to SoFi Technologies in particular. Proposed rules on customer data collection and underwriting standards would be especially onerous for fintechs and banks have lobbied for them to be scrapped. The regulatory body also has been investigating the payments industry, but the biggest pain for SoFi was the Biden administration’s student loan forgiveness programs. While he was thwarted by the Supreme Court in expanding his forgiveness efforts, Biden still canceled more than $175 billion in student loans for 5 million people. That’s equivalent to 11% of all outstanding student loan debt.SoFi has said any additional forgiveness efforts could have a material impact on its operations as student loan refinancing within its lending operations is its largest segment. It would “materially and adversely” impact its profitability, financial condition, and future business prospects.Trump has harshly criticized Biden’s efforts and has vowed to dismantle the Department of Education.Better positions to capitalize on new opportunitiesSoFi Technologies stock has been on the move higher since August and has doubled in value from that low point. Primarily as a result of moving away from its roots in the student loan business, it has added more customers and grown its deposit base. Over the past two years, SoFi’s deposits have more than tripled to $24.4 billion at the end of the third quarter.As the Federal Reserve enters a new rate-easing cycle, SoFi stock should be able to navigate the lower interest rate environment. While its net interest income grew 66% last quarter to $154 million, noninterest income surged 235% to $84 million. Coupled with an improved regulatory and corporate tax environment during Trump’s presidency, the fintech stock’s earnings should widen. Rising profits should easily lift SOFI stock and allow it to hit $22 per share over the next four years."The Next NVIDIA" Could Change Your LifeNVIDIA has returned 250-fold in the past 10 years as artificial intelligence took off.But if you missed out on NVIDIA's historic run, your chance to see life-changing profits from AI isn't over.The 24/7 Wall Street Analyst who first called NVIDIA's AI-fueled rise in 2009 just published a brand-new research report named "The Next NVIDIA".The report outlines key breakthroughs in AI and the stocks ready to dominate the next wave of growth.

That’s a slight increase from a measurement of 2.4% in September. While that headline might sound bad, its worth noting that the 2.6% increase is inline with estimates, which is why markets have largely shrugged off this CPI reading. .ntv-moap { position: relative; padding: 10px 0; background-color: #fff; border-top: 1px solid #ddd; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; overflow: hidden; margin: 20px auto; width: 100%; } .ntv-moap a { border-bottom: none !important; text-decoration: none !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img { position: relative; width: 42%; float: left; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img img { width: 100%; height: auto; } .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 42%; line-height: 0; text-align: left !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-disc { color: var(--slick-site-color, #777); text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 700; } .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 22px; line-height: 24px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: none; margin: 8px 0; color: #111; clear: none !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-byline { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 700; color: #777; margin: 0; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img { line-height: 0; } .ntv-moap .ntvAdChoicesImg { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 16px !important; height: 16px !important; z-index: 2; } @media screen and (max-width: 600px) { .ntv-moap .ntv-img { width: 100%; float: none; } .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { margin: 0; padding-left: 0; padding-top: 5px; } .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 19px; margin: 4px 0; } } /* recipe section and sidebar */ .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap .ntv-img, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap .ntv-img { width: 100%; float: none; } .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap .ntv-txt, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { margin: 0; padding-left: 0; padding-top: 5px; } .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap h3, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 19px; margin: 4px 0; } /* extra css to ensure iframe is hidden */ .ntv-moap + [id^="google_ads_iframe_"] { display: none !important; }Sponsored ContentStrategic Alternatives Podcast: RBC Experts on M&A, Healthcare, and MoreBy RBC Capital MarketsWhat prices are soaring? The price of eggs rose a whopping 30.4%! Other food items that are still seeing inflation include juices and drinks (13.9%), oranges (7.2%), butter (5.1%), and instant coffee (3.5%). Overall, food prices at home increased only 1.1% from last year, which is below the overall inflation measure. Food prices away from home increased 3.8%, which might be why dining out feels more expensive. Items not including food and energy saw a 3.3% increase. Motor vehicle insurance was up 14%, gardening and lawncare were up 8.1%, and vehicle repair was up 7.3%. In short, if the price of labor is a major factor in the services you’re spending money on, their cost is likely rising more than overall inflation. Stocks Rising TodayStocks rising today include ones that could potentially benefit from a government focus on efficiency. Last night Donald Trump announced a ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE), that will be managed by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. It’s unclear what authority the department would have, but investors are placing bets on companies like Palantir (NYSE: PLTR), CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), and Axon (Nasdaq: AXON) seeing more business if the government cuts jobs and relies more on technology. "The Next NVIDIA" Could Change Your LifeNVIDIA has returned 250-fold in the past 10 years as artificial intelligence took off.But if you missed out on NVIDIA's historic run, your chance to see life-changing profits from AI isn't over.The 24/7 Wall Street Analyst who first called NVIDIA's AI-fueled rise in 2009 just published a brand-new research report named "The Next NVIDIA".The report outlines key breakthroughs in AI and the stocks ready to dominate the next wave of growth.

The iPhone!!

It was launched last Friday, June 29th at 6 PM. Did you get yours yet??…A lot of people camped outside of the Apple store 3.5 days in advance just to get their hands on this gadget. Little did they know that they could actually just walk in and out the store in 3 minutes for that. Only Steve Jobs can make people wait in line for something that they didn’t need to wait in line for…:DYupe, turned out The iPhone is not a sell-out, they still have plenty in stocks as I type this. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Apple enthusiast probably say that Steve Jobs did a good job of making sure there’s enough supply to meet demands. The anti-Apple crowd probably think the demand is not there to begin with. Many of those who stood in line were eBayers who hoped to make a quick buck. I bet they were (and so was I) disappointed when they found out that there were 9500 listings for iPhone alone on eBay..:D. But at least I didn’t have to wait in line….I managed to buy 5 at the Apple store in Woodfield Mall, Chicago, hoping I could resell them…but then return them the next morning because why would anyone buy them on eBay when there’s plenty of stocks at the store?!.. Hiks..There goes my extra shopping allowance…=(But hey, at least I contributed in bloating the iPhone sales hoping that AT&T stock that has been in hold mode for the past few weeks waiting for the iPhone release, will go up. Reports says over 500.000 iPhones were sold in the past 3 days, but I truly believe that at least 50.000 of them are bought by people speculating to sell on eBay. With “phantom” record sales reported this morning and a strong start in Wall Street, I *still* manage to sell all my AT&T stocks to gain some quick extra cash before it dives back …. 🙂Anyway, according to its website, iPhone combines three amazing products—a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod and a breakthrough Internet device—into one small, lightweight, hand-held device with the best email ever on a mobile phone, full-screen web browsing, multi-touch screen, and applications such as Google Maps.Steve Jobs said that this is one of the most important products Apple has ever launched, technology-wise. It took 5 years to develop the phone, and it sure will set the standard and revolutionize the cell phone industry.Th 8 GB cost $599, set to launch end of this year in Europe and early 2008 in Asia.So, what do you think about the iPhone??

Over 60? These 2 Dividend Stocks are a Better Bet Than T-Bills

The appetite for high-risk investments really increased following Donald Trump’s presidential victory. Indeed, gold — a risk-off asset — took a hit while risk assets (most notably stocks and crypto) began heating up. Some high-growth tech stocks have been melting up lately, and hopes could stay high as investors hope for a Santa rally to come to town to help close off what’s been an outstanding year for markets.nextstayCCSettingsOffArabicChineseEnglishFrenchGermanHindiPortugueseSpanishFont ColorwhiteFont Opacity100%Font Size100%Font FamilyArialText ShadownoneBackground ColorblackBackground Opacity50%Window ColorblackWindow Opacity0%WhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan100%75%50%25%200%175%150%125%100%75%50%ArialGeorgiaGaramondCourier NewTahomaTimes New RomanTrebuchet MSVerdanaNoneRaisedDepressedUniformDrop ShadowWhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan100%75%50%25%0%WhiteBlackRedGreenBlueYellowMagentaCyan100%75%50%25%0%If you’re over 60 and gearing up for retirement, chasing the risk-on assets may not be the best of ideas, especially as some notable figures on Wall Street take a slight step back. Notably, Warren Buffett has not shied away from taking some profits from his firm’s winning bets.Key Points About This ArticleT-Bills are great to hold, but there is such a thing as being too conservatively positioned.Solid, low-cost dividend plays like PFE and MCD are worth watching on the recent dip.If you’re looking for some stocks with huge potential, make sure to grab a free copy of ourbrand-new “The Next NVIDIA” report. It features a software stock we’re confident has 10X potential.Timing stock markets isn’t a good idea, no matter your age.While Buffett believes that timing the market is “impossible” and even “stupid,” it’s hard to ignore the Oracle of Omaha when he backs up the truck on risk-free assets. Though I don’t view Buffett as a market timer, I do think his share sales speak to the lack of bargains out there today. With the Trump stock rally gaining speed, valuations have only gotten heftier in recent weeks.Now, that’s not to say a steep market correction is around the corner. Remember that modest overvaluation or (over-) extended rallies do not necessarily mean it’s time to be an aggressive seller of stocks.Instead, being cautious with cheaper, more defensive dividend payers can prove wise, especially if you’re a retiree (or are almost one) who can’t withstand extreme volatility the way a younger investor can..ntv-moap { position: relative; padding: 10px 0; background-color: #fff; border-top: 1px solid #ddd; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; overflow: hidden; margin: 20px auto; width: 100%; } .ntv-moap a { border-bottom: none !important; text-decoration: none !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img { position: relative; width: 42%; float: left; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img img { width: 100%; height: auto; } .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 42%; line-height: 0; text-align: left !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-disc { color: var(--slick-site-color, #777); text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 700; } .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 22px; line-height: 24px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: none; margin: 8px 0; color: #111; clear: none !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-byline { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 700; color: #777; margin: 0; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img { line-height: 0; } .ntv-moap .ntvAdChoicesImg { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 16px !important; height: 16px !important; z-index: 2; } @media screen and (max-width: 600px) { .ntv-moap .ntv-img { width: 100%; float: none; } .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { margin: 0; padding-left: 0; padding-top: 5px; } .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 19px; margin: 4px 0; } } /* recipe section and sidebar */ .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap .ntv-img, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap .ntv-img { width: 100%; float: none; } .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap .ntv-txt, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { margin: 0; padding-left: 0; padding-top: 5px; } .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap h3, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 19px; margin: 4px 0; } /* extra css to ensure iframe is hidden */ .ntv-moap + [id^="google_ads_iframe_"] { display: none !important; }Sponsored ContentStrategic Alternatives Podcast: RBC Experts on M&A, Healthcare, and MoreBy RBC Capital MarketsT-Bills are great in this environment. But dividend stocks may still be better for the long haul.While Buffett’sBerkshire Hathaway(NYSE:BRK-B) has been a heavy holder of U.S. Treasury Bills (T-Bills), I’d not be surprised if he’s looking to put some of it to work on value stocks after his latest stock sales.Here are three intriguing dividend stocks that may be a better bet than T-Bills over the long term. Of course, no stock, no matter how steady, will be a T-Bill on the safety front.Undoubtedly, T-Bills are risk-free assets, and while they may not be the most bountiful of passive income investments, they are still worth holding in the most defensive parts of one’s portfolio in case the market weather worsens..ntv-moap { position: relative; padding: 10px 0; background-color: #fff; border-top: 1px solid #ddd; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; overflow: hidden; margin: 20px auto; width: 100%; } .ntv-moap a { border-bottom: none !important; text-decoration: none !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img { position: relative; width: 42%; float: left; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img img { width: 100%; height: auto; } .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 42%; line-height: 0; text-align: left !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-disc { color: var(--slick-site-color, #777); text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 700; } .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 22px; line-height: 24px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: none; margin: 8px 0; color: #111; clear: none !important; } .ntv-moap .ntv-byline { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 700; color: #777; margin: 0; } .ntv-moap .ntv-img { line-height: 0; } .ntv-moap .ntvAdChoicesImg { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 16px !important; height: 16px !important; z-index: 2; } @media screen and (max-width: 600px) { .ntv-moap .ntv-img { width: 100%; float: none; } .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { margin: 0; padding-left: 0; padding-top: 5px; } .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 19px; margin: 4px 0; } } /* recipe section and sidebar */ .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap .ntv-img, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap .ntv-img { width: 100%; float: none; } .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap .ntv-txt, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap .ntv-txt { margin: 0; padding-left: 0; padding-top: 5px; } .adthrive-recipe .ntv-moap h3, .adthrive-sidebar .ntv-moap h3 { font-size: 19px; margin: 4px 0; } /* extra css to ensure iframe is hidden */ .ntv-moap + [id^="google_ads_iframe_"] { display: none !important; }Sponsored ContentStrategic Alternatives Podcast: RBC Experts on M&A, Healthcare, and MoreBy RBC Capital MarketsPfizerPfizer(NYSE:PFE) stock got slammed after President-elect Donald Trump picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the job of secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Undoubtedly, the man we know as RFK Jr. is known by some to be a vaccine skeptic. For the major vaccine plays, like Pfizer, that’s a heavy blow to the gut for a firm that’s already in a really tough spot.The stock is now down more than 58% from its late 2021 all-time high. And the dividend yield, currently at 6.77%, could exceed the 7% mark as the shares plunge to new multi-year depths. Indeed, Pfizer is a falling knife, but it does have levers it can pull to turn the tide.While shares look to be entering the danger zone as they tank below $25 per share, I view them as more of a deep-value play at 8.3 times forward price-to-earnings (P/E). Though I wouldn’t be too aggressive of a buyer here, I would certainly add the name to a watchlist on this latest dip.McDonald’sMcDonald’s(NYSE:MCD) isn’t risk-free; that much is clear following the recent E.Coli scare, which, I believe, has already run its course on the stock. The company reportedly invested $100 million to get back on its feet after the E.Coli outbreak. As the company shifts gears from crisis mode and back to winning the value menu wars, I do view MCD stock as a fantastic place to park (and grow) one’s wealth.The stock is still down just over 8% from its all-time highs, thanks to an E.Coli outbreak that I think is now well behind the firm. At 25.6 times trailing P/E, with a nice 2.42% dividend yield, investors over 60 may wish to watch the name very closely as it flirts with a correction (10% drop).At the end of the day, McDonald’s is one of the best defensive dividend plays to hold if you have any doubts about the economy."The Next NVIDIA" Could Change Your LifeNVIDIA has returned 250-fold in the past 10 years as artificial intelligence took off.But if you missed out on NVIDIA's historic run, your chance to see life-changing profits from AI isn't over.The 24/7 Wall Street Analyst who first called NVIDIA's AI-fueled rise in 2009 just published a brand-new research report named "The Next NVIDIA".The report outlines key breakthroughs in AI and the stocks ready to dominate the next wave of growth.

Masih Mau Yang KW1?

Sebagai perempuan modern, kita kadang-kadang sering terjebak dengan pemikiran bahwa yang cepat, praktis apalagi murah itu pasti lebih baik.

Parfum andalan habis? Cari refillnya aja kali yaaa, kan lebih murah! Casing handphone udah mulai keliatan lusuh? Ya ganti aja pake yang palsu, bentar lagi juga ganti handphone kok!
