Dividends – cold hard cash paid out by corporates are often seen as an important criterion for a certain group of investors.
These might be 1) folks targeting a steady stream of passive income, 2) retirees looking at dividends as a form of income to fund their day-to-day expenses, or 3) simply more risk-averse investors looking at “value” stocks which are often associated with a high dividend yield.

To be clear, the definition of an earnings recession is a back-to-back decline in earnings. While 4Q22 results are still underway (82% of S&P 500 has reported results), the street is forecasting earnings to have fallen -4.7% from the year-ago period, according to d...

Which industry/industries would you want to invest in if you can rewind time and go back to the start of 2022?
