investmentWith the Market in Turmoil, Is Coca-Cola a Buy, Sell, or Hold?
By Neil Patel – Apr 18, 2026 at 5:15AM ESTKey PointsThe stock market had a choppy start to 2026, which might force investors to look for safer stocks to own. Coca-Cola's sizable profits, rising dividends, and robust brand make it a stable portfolio holding.If investors are chasing higher returns, it's probably best to avoid this industry-leading business. Any investor who thinks stock prices always go up and to the right on a smooth journey got a wake-up call this year. The S&P 500 (^GSPC +1.20%) was down 7% from the start of the year to March 30. Besides persistent economic uncertainty, the Middle East conflict and fears of artificial intelligence (AI) disruption are troubles on everyone's mind. April has brought some positivity. The benchmark has risen nearly 7% through the first two weeks of this month. Nonetheless, investors have no shortage of reasons to worry about what the future will bring. With the market seemingly on the brink of turmoil at any moment, maybe it's time to consider a safe stock for your portfolio. Here's where Coca-Cola (KO +0.74%) deserves some attention. Is it a buy, sell, or hold right now? Image source: Getty Images. Coca-Cola is one of the easiest businesses to own The worst stocks to own are those that require investors to constantly keep up with the latest news, are difficult to understand, and are in weak financial positions. Coca-Cola could not be further from this sort of high-maintenance opportunity. And that's perhaps its best attribute. Coca-Cola is a boring company that's basically been conducting the same operations for decades. It's easy to grasp how it makes money, mainly by selling concentrates and syrups to bottling partners. And it's extremely profitable, with a trailing-five-year average net profit margin of 27%. This supports a robust dividend payout that has increased in 64 straight years. From a consumer's point of view, buying low-cost beverages is something that won't stop even in recessionary times. This means

investmentNvidia's Market Cap Could Reach a Shockingly High Level, According to 1 Metric. But Is This Really Possible?
By Adria Cimino – Apr 18, 2026 at 5:05AM ESTKey PointsNvidia became the world’s biggest company last year, and it’s kept the position.The company dominates the AI chip market.Nvidia (NVDA +1.67%) reached a major milestone last year. The artificial intelligence (AI) chip giant's market value roared past $4 trillion: When it did this, it became the first ever to reach that level, and therefore, it also became the world's biggest company. Nvidia slipped ahead of both Microsoft and Apple, tech giants that have each been No. 1 in terms of market value in recent years. In spite of a lackluster start to the year, Nvidia has managed to keep this lead. This is because its big tech rivals and peers also struggled in the tough market environment. Investors fled growth stocks, particularly AI players, amid general worries -- such as concerns about conflict in Iran -- and as they questioned whether the AI story would indeed be as profitable as expected. As the second quarter begins, however, the path is looking smoother for tech players. They've rebounded amid optimism that leaders will resume negotiations regarding the war in Iran. And investors are focusing on upcoming earnings reports, which may offer certain tech players a lift. So now, as Nvidia begins to climb higher once again, it's a great time to consider the company's future market cap potential. One metric even says Nvidia's market value could reach a shockingly high level -- but is this really possible? Let's find out. Image source: Getty Images. Nvidia's path to $4 trillion First, let's take a look at Nvidia's path to $4 trillion and its growth prospects. The company is the world's leading AI chip designer, and this business has helped revenue increase in the double and triple digits in recent years. Profitability on sales has also been solid, as shown by the company's gross margin of more than 70%. Nvidia hasn't stuck only with chips, and instead has broadened its offering to include complete systems -- from networ

researchNew to Investing? This Financial Stock Is One of the Safest Places to Start
By Neil Patel – Apr 18, 2026 at 5:01AM ESTKey PointsThis trillion-dollar conglomerate benefits from impressive revenue diversification, as it has its hands in numerous end markets.By operating with extreme financial discipline and a large cash cushion, this business helps its shareholders sleep well at night.While complex market strategies might get attention simply because they sound smart, investors shouldn't ignore those opportunities that might seem boring, as they can be less risky. Successful investing is partly about protecting the downside, which can make for a smoother ride to building wealth. If you're new to investing, this financial stock is one of the safest places to start. Image source: Getty Images. Warren Buffett built Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA 0.16%) (BRKB 0.11%) into a gargantuan conglomerate worth $1 trillion. This makes it the largest financial enterprise by market cap, according to research from The Motley Fool. It's difficult to argue that this isn't one of the safest businesses to buy and hold. Berkshire's revenue diversification is notable, as it has exposure to industries ranging from railroads and energy to manufacturing, retail, and insurance. It also has a massive public equities portfolio consisting of high-quality holdings.

investmentHere's How Much Social Security You'll Lose by Claiming 5 Years Early
By James Brumley – Apr 18, 2026 at 4:55AM ESTKey PointsEligible taxpayers can claim Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62.Most people's intended and expected age for filing, however, is well after that point.While the payment reduction isn't insignificant, in some cases it may be worth it.Most people understand that claiming Social Security benefits before reaching your full retirement age (or FRA) results in smaller payments. But how much smaller? It depends on how much earlier you initiate these benefits. If you file at the earliest possible age of 62 rather than this year's FRA of 67, it will reduce the amount of your payments by 30%. In more tangible, relatable terms, claiming five years earlier than your intended age will dial back the typical monthly payment of $2,071 to about $1,450. For most people, that's a difference not to take lightly. In this vein, understand that you can also claim at any point in between those two points in time, with a reduced degree of penalty. Filing when you turn 64, for instance, only reduces your intended benefits payment by 20%. Claiming just two years before you reach your FRA only lowers your monthly benefit by about 14%. Image source: Getty Images. Plenty of people are indeed claiming early, by the way, and simply dealing with the impact of their decision. The Social Security Administration reports while this year's average monthly benefits payment for 67-year-old retirees is just over $2,016, the 606,000 62-year-olds who are already receiving benefits are collecting measurably smaller average payments of $1,424. It also works the opposite way. That is to say, waiting until after reaching your full retirement age to file for Social Security benefits adds to them. Although there's no additional upside to waiting beyond the age of 70 to claim, filing for benefits at the age of 70 will add another 24% to the monthly amount that future retirees will be collecting. Just bear in mind that the earlier you claim, th

investmentNasdaq Rebound: Buy 2 Monster Growth Stocks Up 20% Since Late March
By Trevor Jennewine – Apr 18, 2026 at 4:48AM ESTKey PointsThe Nasdaq entered correction territory in March, but the index has already rebounded to a new record high.Alphabet is monetizing AI across its digital advertising, cloud services, and autonomous driving businesses.Robinhood's popularity with young investors should drive growth as millennials and Gen Z accumulate wealth.The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +1.52%) closed in correction territory on March 26, but the index has historically bounced back quickly. Since 2010, the Nasdaq has returned a median of 25% in the 12 months following its first close in correction territory. Indeed, the index has already recouped its losses and hit a new high. Investors can lean into the Nasdaq rebound by owning shares of Alphabet (GOOGL +1.71%) (GOOG +1.99%) and Robinhood Markets (HOOD +4.55%). The stocks have already advanced 20% and 23%, respectively, since the Nasdaq first closed in correction territory. But I see more upside for patient investors. Here's why. Image source: Getty Images. 1. Alphabet Alphabet earns most of its revenue through digital advertising. The company has a durable competitive moat in its ownership of popular internet properties YouTube and Google Search, and it has reinforced that edge with artificial intelligence (AI) tools that improve targeting and automate campaign creation. Last year, paid clicks climbed 6% and cost per click increased 7%. Alphabet also has a booming cloud computing business. Revenue growth accelerated to 48% in the fourth quarter, outpacing Amazon (24%) and Microsoft (39%), as Google Cloud continued to gain share. Revenue growth has accelerated in three straight quarters due to strong demand for AI products, especially Gemini models and custom AI chips called Tensor Processing Units (TPUs). Meanwhile, Alphabet's autonomous driving subsidiary, Waymo, is expanding quickly. The company now offers ridesharing services in 11 U.S. cities, up from five last year, and plans to launch in abo
