Warren Buffett isn’t known for his tech investing — even less so, artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. But right now, Buffett’s holding company has bet nearly $2 billion on a business that sits at the center of the AI revolution. Most investors don’t realize this well-known company is an AI giant, making the stock a solid…

That’s because it’s these sorts of emerging companies that can supercharge a stock portfolio — delivering outsized returns that change lives.

Diversification is crucial for dividend investors. You don’t want to depend on only a few companies for your dividend income, because it can be painful if something goes wrong.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shareholders haven’t had the best year. While the market (as measured by the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index) is essentially flat for the year, Apple’s stock has dropped by 20%. Additionally, it’s by far the worst-performing “Magnificent Seven” stock. With the stock underperforming both the market and its peers, there are two…
