Companies with high dividend yields can imply relatively high risk. However, companies that grow their dividends over time tend to provide fundamental growth that supports such dividend hikes. That’s the primary reason I have so many dividend-paying growth stocks in my portfolio and on my watch list. These companies pay steady dividends, providing a regular

With March Madness just days away, it’s time to look at some of the potential slam dunks. In 2022, investors bet on gambling stocks because 45 million Americans were expected to wager $3.1 billion on the tournament.
