Fool","summary":"You don't have to increase your investment risk to generate substantial returns on Wall Street.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>For the past 15 months, Wall Street has been testing the resolve of investors. In that time, the iconic <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average</strong>, broad-based <strong>S&P 500</strong>, and growth-dependent <strong>Nasdaq Composite</strong> all fell into a bear market.</p><p>Although bear markets can be scary due to the unpredictability and velocity of moves lower, they also offer a phenomenal opportunity for long-term-minded investors to do some shopping. Despite never being able to predict when bear markets will occur or when they'll bottom with any preciseness, we do know that every previous bear market has <em>eventually</em> (key word!) been fully recouped by a bull market rally. Essentially, double-digit declines in the broader market are an open invitation to snag high-quality stocks at a discount.</p><p>However, you don't have to maximize your investment risk to yield substantial rewards. What follows are four time-tested stocks that have the catalysts necessary to safely double your money, inclusive of dividends (where applicable), by 2028.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></h2><p>The first rock-solid company that can help you double your initial investment, inclusive of dividends paid, over the next five years, is payment processor <strong>Visa</strong> (V -0.95%). Even though Visa's yield of 0.8% isn't much to look at, income seekers should be aware that the company's board has increased its quarterly payout by more than 1,600% since 2008. </p><p>What's great about cyclical stocks like Visa is they're able to take advantage of the fact that economic expansions last longer than recessions. As the U.S. and global economy expand over time, Visa will benefit from higher consumer and enterprise spending. As a high-margin, fee-based company, Visa should see its profits climb.</p><p>Visa's operating model also showcases why it's capable of being a breadwinner for patient shareholders. Visa is strictly a payment processor. While it would probably have no trouble becoming a successful lender, doing so would expose the company to the possibility of delinquencies and loan losses during recessions.</p><p>Because it doesn't lend money, Visa doesn't have to set aside capital to cover loan losses during downturns. This subtle but powerful difference from its peers is a big reason why Visa maintains a profit margin north of 50%, and explains its ability to bounce back from recessions faster than most lending institutions.</p><p>Further, Visa's addressable market remains largely untapped. A majority of the world's transactions are still being completed in cash. Aside from holding the lion's share of credit card network purchase volume in the U.S. (nearly 53%, as of 2021), Visa has an opportunity to expand into underbanked regions of the world organically or via acquisition for years, if not decades, to come. </p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PARA\">Paramount Global</a></h2><p>A second time-tested stock that can safely deliver a triple-digit return, with payouts included, by 2028 is media stock <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PARA\">Paramount Global</a></strong>. Paramount's 4.4% yield alone is enough to get investors more than 20% of the way to doubling their money in five years.</p><p>Similar to Visa, being cyclical is a big reason Paramount Global is such a smart buy right now. Though shares have been weighed down in recent quarters by weaker advertising revenue, ad spending tends to ebb and flow in lockstep with the U.S. economy. In other words, the ad industry spends much more time growing than slowing. That's excellent news for Paramount's new and long-term shareholders.</p><p>The big catalyst over the next five years should be the company's streaming services. Paramount ended 2022 with 77 million direct-to-consumer (DTC) subscribers, which represents an increase of 30 million from where things stood at the end of September 2021. Mind you, this includes the loss of nearly 4 million DTC subscribers when the company pulled its services out of Russia last year. This strong subscriber growth suggests the company won't have any trouble raising prices in the future.</p><p>Don't discount free, ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV, either. If a U.S. recession were to occur in the months or years that lie ahead, \"free\" would be an incredibly compelling price point for consumers. This fact isn't lost on advertisers.</p><p>With Paramount Global's film segment on the mend and DTC growth impressing, steady gains are a real possibility.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBA\">Walgreens Boots Alliance</a></h2><p>The third tried-and-true stock that can safely double your money over the next five years, inclusive of dividends, is pharmacy chain <strong>Walgreens Boots Alliance</strong> (WBA -0.94%). Walgreens has raised its dividend in each of the past 47 years and is currently doling out an inflation-fighting 5.36% yield.</p><p>What typically makes healthcare stocks a \"safe\" investment is the simple fact that we don't have any control over when we become ill or what ailment(s) we develop. This is why demand for prescription drugs, healthcare services, and medical devices is relatively consistent in any economic environment.</p><p>However, Walgreens was something of an exception to this rule during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because it generates almost all of its revenue from its physical stores, lockdowns hurt pretty much all aspects of its sales channels. The good news is that the worst of the pandemic looks to be over, and Walgreens' management team has implemented a handful of initiatives geared at boosting organic growth.</p><p>The most exciting change for Walgreens Boots Alliance is its shift to healthcare services. Walgreens and VillageMD -- Walgreens is a majority investor in VillageMD -- have opened 210 physician-staffed, full-service health clinics colocated in Walgreens' stores, as of Feb. 28, 2023. Capable of handling a broad array of ailments, not just vaccines, Walgreens shouldn't have any trouble attracting repeat visitors with these clinics. The plan is to have 1,000 of these clinics open by the end of 2027.</p><p>The other big change is the company's aggressive spending on digital initiatives. Walgreens has revamped its supply chain and spent big bucks to improve its website. Even with its physical stores generating the bulk of net sales, having a more prominent and convenient online presence is key to boosting organic sales and driving repeat business.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.A\">Berkshire Hathaway</a></h2><p>The fourth time-tested stock that can safely double your money by 2028 is conglomerate <strong>Berkshire Hathaway</strong> (BRK.A) (BRK.B). Though Berkshire isn't exactly a household name, its billionaire CEO <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Warren Buffett</a> certainly is.</p><p>One of the benefits of purchasing Berkshire Hathaway stock is getting <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Warren Buffett</a> as your portfolio manager... of sorts. Since <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Buffett</a> became CEO in the mid-1960s, Berkshire Hathaway's Class A shares (BRK.A) have delivered an annualized return of 19.8%. In other words, shareholders have been doubling their money every 3.6 years, on average, for almost six decades. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Buffett</a> outperforming Wall Street has become somewhat the norm.</p><p>One reason Berkshire Hathaway has been such a success for so long is <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Buffett</a>'s long-term thinking. The Oracle of Omaha and his team run a $342 billion investment portfolio and regularly use time as an ally. By purchasing stakes in and/or acquiring cyclical businesses, Berkshire Hathaway is able to take advantage of the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy over long periods. This is probably a good time to mention that Visa and Paramount Global are two holdings within Buffett's portfolio.</p><p>Portfolio concentration has been a key cog in Berkshire Hathaway's outperformance as well. The Oracle of Omaha has long believed that diversification is only necessary for investors who don't know what they're doing. Despite owning stakes in 49 different securities, most of Berkshire's portfolio is tied up in just a few stocks.</p><p>Lastly, Buffett and his investing team have packed Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio with dividend-paying stocks. Companies that pay a regular dividend tend to be profitable on a recurring basis. More importantly, they've crushed nondividend payers in the return column over multiple decades.</p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"/>\n<meta content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\" name=\"viewport\"/>\n<meta content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" name=\"format-detection\"/>\n<title>4 Time-Tested Stocks That Can Safely Double Your Money by 2028</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n4 Time-Tested Stocks That Can Safely Double Your Money by 2028\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-04-10 07:42 GMT+8   <a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/04/09/4-stocks-that-can-safely-double-your-money-by-2028/\"><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>For the past 15 months, Wall Street has been testing the resolve of investors.

The company brought in $35.5 billion in earnings in 2022 and doled out $11 billion in dividends while spending another $11.25 billion in share buybacks.With a dividend yield of 3.5%, CVX stock has a “B” rating in the Portfolio Grader.Coca-Cola Source: MAHATHIR MOHD YASIN / Shutterstock.comFamed soda maker Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) may be one of the best-known consumer brands on the planet. From its headquarters in Atlanta, Coca-Cola has become the world’s biggest non-alcoholic beverage company.That’s helped push Coca-Cola to a market capitalization of $270 billion, selling products in more than 200 countries around the world. But even with that massive footprint, the company believes it has a broad runway for growth. Coca-Cola claims it has a 14% market share in the developed world. But in the much larger developing and emerging world, Coca-Cola has roughly a 7% share.It has a vast arsenal of brands to market to those potential customers, including sodas and carbonated beverages, teas, coffees, water, sports drinks and juices. And it’s recently dipped its toes into alcoholic beverages by offering hard seltzers and canned mixed drinks.Earnings for the fourth quarter were $10.2 billion in revenue, beating analysts’ estimates for $9.93 billion revenue. KO also matched expectations, paying 45 cents in earnings per share.KO stock is up 5% over the last month, providing a dividend yield of nearly 3%. It gets a “B” rating in the Portfolio Grader.Valero Energy Source: JustPixs / Shutterstock.comValero Energy (NYSE:VLO) is another excellent energy stock, but it’s of a different flavor than Chevron. Instead of oil and gas exploration, Valero is a downstream company that is the world’s largest producer of renewable fuels.Besides petroleum refineries, Valero has ethanol plants and offers dry distillers’ grains, ethanol and corn oil to gasoline blenders and refiners.Fourth-quarter earnings included $41.75 billion in revenue, but it missed expectations of $43.32 billion. Earnings per share of $8.45 per share was better than analysts’ expectations of $7.25.VLO stock is up 25% over the last 12 months, pushing its market capitalization to $47.2 billion. It also provides a healthy dividend yield of nearly 3%.VLO stock has an “A” rating in the Portfolio Grader.Starbucks Source: monticello / Shutterstock.comFamed coffee chain Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) is one of the world’s biggest restaurant chains, boasting more than 36,000 stores. But it’s also a company in transition.The company struggled mightily during the Covid-19 pandemic before finally rebounding by mid-2021 to set all-time highs. But since then, Starbucks stock has struggled.Faced with high inflation and unionization issues, interim CEO Howard Schultz stepped down last month to make way for new CEO Laxman Narasimhan. Previously, Narasimhan was CEO of Reckitt Benckiser Group (OTCMKTS:RGBLY) and had executive positions with PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP). Notably, SBUX stock is up 5% since the change in power. Starbucks is a brand constantly tinkering with its menu to develop something new. The most recent offering is oleato coffee, a coffee drink infused with extra virgin olive oil. It will have to continue to evolve if it will be successful under Narasimhan’s watch.With a market cap of $119 billion, SBUX offers a dividend yield of 2%. It currently has a “B” rating in the Portfolio Grader.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":710,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946490754,"gmtCreate":1681011739379,"gmtModify":1681011743380,"author":{"id":"4095377288464890","authorId":"4095377288464890","name":"tehOkosong","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/918e2c68c3b3f972dd6d2e74aef3c5ea","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4095377288464890","authorIdStr":"4095377288464890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oj","listText":"Oj","text":"Oj","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946490754","repostId":"1154925728","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":516,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946490559,"gmtCreate":1681011693471,"gmtModify":1681012917753,"author":{"id":"4095377288464890","authorId":"4095377288464890","name":"tehOkosong","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/918e2c68c3b3f972dd6d2e74aef3c5ea","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4095377288464890","authorIdStr":"4095377288464890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946490559","repostId":"1192379821","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":945,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946490324,"gmtCreate":1681011528269,"gmtModify":1681012917778,"author":{"id":"4095377288464890","authorId":"4095377288464890","name":"tehOkosong","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/918e2c68c3b3f972dd6d2e74aef3c5ea","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4095377288464890","authorIdStr":"4095377288464890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946490324","repostId":"1108890125","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1108890125","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing

Fool","summary":"You don't have to increase your investment risk to generate substantial returns on Wall Street.","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>For the past 15 months, Wall Street has been testing the resolve of investors. In that time, the iconic <strong>Dow Jones Industrial Average</strong>, broad-based <strong>S&P 500</strong>, and growth-dependent <strong>Nasdaq Composite</strong> all fell into a bear market.</p><p>Although bear markets can be scary due to the unpredictability and velocity of moves lower, they also offer a phenomenal opportunity for long-term-minded investors to do some shopping. Despite never being able to predict when bear markets will occur or when they'll bottom with any preciseness, we do know that every previous bear market has <em>eventually</em> (key word!) been fully recouped by a bull market rally. Essentially, double-digit declines in the broader market are an open invitation to snag high-quality stocks at a discount.</p><p>However, you don't have to maximize your investment risk to yield substantial rewards. What follows are four time-tested stocks that have the catalysts necessary to safely double your money, inclusive of dividends (where applicable), by 2028.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/V\">Visa</a></h2><p>The first rock-solid company that can help you double your initial investment, inclusive of dividends paid, over the next five years, is payment processor <strong>Visa</strong> (V -0.95%). Even though Visa's yield of 0.8% isn't much to look at, income seekers should be aware that the company's board has increased its quarterly payout by more than 1,600% since 2008. </p><p>What's great about cyclical stocks like Visa is they're able to take advantage of the fact that economic expansions last longer than recessions. As the U.S. and global economy expand over time, Visa will benefit from higher consumer and enterprise spending. As a high-margin, fee-based company, Visa should see its profits climb.</p><p>Visa's operating model also showcases why it's capable of being a breadwinner for patient shareholders. Visa is strictly a payment processor. While it would probably have no trouble becoming a successful lender, doing so would expose the company to the possibility of delinquencies and loan losses during recessions.</p><p>Because it doesn't lend money, Visa doesn't have to set aside capital to cover loan losses during downturns. This subtle but powerful difference from its peers is a big reason why Visa maintains a profit margin north of 50%, and explains its ability to bounce back from recessions faster than most lending institutions.</p><p>Further, Visa's addressable market remains largely untapped. A majority of the world's transactions are still being completed in cash. Aside from holding the lion's share of credit card network purchase volume in the U.S. (nearly 53%, as of 2021), Visa has an opportunity to expand into underbanked regions of the world organically or via acquisition for years, if not decades, to come. </p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PARA\">Paramount Global</a></h2><p>A second time-tested stock that can safely deliver a triple-digit return, with payouts included, by 2028 is media stock <strong><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PARA\">Paramount Global</a></strong>. Paramount's 4.4% yield alone is enough to get investors more than 20% of the way to doubling their money in five years.</p><p>Similar to Visa, being cyclical is a big reason Paramount Global is such a smart buy right now. Though shares have been weighed down in recent quarters by weaker advertising revenue, ad spending tends to ebb and flow in lockstep with the U.S. economy. In other words, the ad industry spends much more time growing than slowing. That's excellent news for Paramount's new and long-term shareholders.</p><p>The big catalyst over the next five years should be the company's streaming services. Paramount ended 2022 with 77 million direct-to-consumer (DTC) subscribers, which represents an increase of 30 million from where things stood at the end of September 2021. Mind you, this includes the loss of nearly 4 million DTC subscribers when the company pulled its services out of Russia last year. This strong subscriber growth suggests the company won't have any trouble raising prices in the future.</p><p>Don't discount free, ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV, either. If a U.S. recession were to occur in the months or years that lie ahead, \"free\" would be an incredibly compelling price point for consumers. This fact isn't lost on advertisers.</p><p>With Paramount Global's film segment on the mend and DTC growth impressing, steady gains are a real possibility.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WBA\">Walgreens Boots Alliance</a></h2><p>The third tried-and-true stock that can safely double your money over the next five years, inclusive of dividends, is pharmacy chain <strong>Walgreens Boots Alliance</strong> (WBA -0.94%). Walgreens has raised its dividend in each of the past 47 years and is currently doling out an inflation-fighting 5.36% yield.</p><p>What typically makes healthcare stocks a \"safe\" investment is the simple fact that we don't have any control over when we become ill or what ailment(s) we develop. This is why demand for prescription drugs, healthcare services, and medical devices is relatively consistent in any economic environment.</p><p>However, Walgreens was something of an exception to this rule during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because it generates almost all of its revenue from its physical stores, lockdowns hurt pretty much all aspects of its sales channels. The good news is that the worst of the pandemic looks to be over, and Walgreens' management team has implemented a handful of initiatives geared at boosting organic growth.</p><p>The most exciting change for Walgreens Boots Alliance is its shift to healthcare services. Walgreens and VillageMD -- Walgreens is a majority investor in VillageMD -- have opened 210 physician-staffed, full-service health clinics colocated in Walgreens' stores, as of Feb. 28, 2023. Capable of handling a broad array of ailments, not just vaccines, Walgreens shouldn't have any trouble attracting repeat visitors with these clinics. The plan is to have 1,000 of these clinics open by the end of 2027.</p><p>The other big change is the company's aggressive spending on digital initiatives. Walgreens has revamped its supply chain and spent big bucks to improve its website. Even with its physical stores generating the bulk of net sales, having a more prominent and convenient online presence is key to boosting organic sales and driving repeat business.</p><h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BRK.A\">Berkshire Hathaway</a></h2><p>The fourth time-tested stock that can safely double your money by 2028 is conglomerate <strong>Berkshire Hathaway</strong> (BRK.A) (BRK.B). Though Berkshire isn't exactly a household name, its billionaire CEO <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Warren Buffett</a> certainly is.</p><p>One of the benefits of purchasing Berkshire Hathaway stock is getting <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Warren Buffett</a> as your portfolio manager... of sorts. Since <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Buffett</a> became CEO in the mid-1960s, Berkshire Hathaway's Class A shares (BRK.A) have delivered an annualized return of 19.8%. In other words, shareholders have been doubling their money every 3.6 years, on average, for almost six decades. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Buffett</a> outperforming Wall Street has become somewhat the norm.</p><p>One reason Berkshire Hathaway has been such a success for so long is <a class=\"promotion-word\" href=\"https://ttm.financial/U/4180165723785092\">Buffett</a>'s long-term thinking. The Oracle of Omaha and his team run a $342 billion investment portfolio and regularly use time as an ally. By purchasing stakes in and/or acquiring cyclical businesses, Berkshire Hathaway is able to take advantage of the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy over long periods. This is probably a good time to mention that Visa and Paramount Global are two holdings within Buffett's portfolio.</p><p>Portfolio concentration has been a key cog in Berkshire Hathaway's outperformance as well. The Oracle of Omaha has long believed that diversification is only necessary for investors who don't know what they're doing.

In that time, the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average, broad-based S&P 500, and growth-dependent Nasdaq Composite all fell into a bear market.Although bear markets can be scary due to the unpredictability and velocity of moves lower, they also offer a phenomenal opportunity for long-term-minded investors to do some shopping. Despite never being able to predict when bear markets will occur or when they'll bottom with any preciseness, we do know that every previous bear market has eventually (key word!) been fully recouped by a bull market rally. Essentially, double-digit declines in the broader market are an open invitation to snag high-quality stocks at a discount.However, you don't have to maximize your investment risk to yield substantial rewards. What follows are four time-tested stocks that have the catalysts necessary to safely double your money, inclusive of dividends (where applicable), by 2028.VisaThe first rock-solid company that can help you double your initial investment, inclusive of dividends paid, over the next five years, is payment processor Visa (V -0.95%). Even though Visa's yield of 0.8% isn't much to look at, income seekers should be aware that the company's board has increased its quarterly payout by more than 1,600% since 2008. What's great about cyclical stocks like Visa is they're able to take advantage of the fact that economic expansions last longer than recessions. As the U.S. and global economy expand over time, Visa will benefit from higher consumer and enterprise spending. As a high-margin, fee-based company, Visa should see its profits climb.Visa's operating model also showcases why it's capable of being a breadwinner for patient shareholders. Visa is strictly a payment processor. While it would probably have no trouble becoming a successful lender, doing so would expose the company to the possibility of delinquencies and loan losses during recessions.Because it doesn't lend money, Visa doesn't have to set aside capital to cover loan losses during downturns. This subtle but powerful difference from its peers is a big reason why Visa maintains a profit margin north of 50%, and explains its ability to bounce back from recessions faster than most lending institutions.Further, Visa's addressable market remains largely untapped. A majority of the world's transactions are still being completed in cash. Aside from holding the lion's share of credit card network purchase volume in the U.S. (nearly 53%, as of 2021), Visa has an opportunity to expand into underbanked regions of the world organically or via acquisition for years, if not decades, to come. Paramount GlobalA second time-tested stock that can safely deliver a triple-digit return, with payouts included, by 2028 is media stock Paramount Global. Paramount's 4.4% yield alone is enough to get investors more than 20% of the way to doubling their money in five years.Similar to Visa, being cyclical is a big reason Paramount Global is such a smart buy right now. Though shares have been weighed down in recent quarters by weaker advertising revenue, ad spending tends to ebb and flow in lockstep with the U.S. economy. In other words, the ad industry spends much more time growing than slowing. That's excellent news for Paramount's new and long-term shareholders.The big catalyst over the next five years should be the company's streaming services. Paramount ended 2022 with 77 million direct-to-consumer (DTC) subscribers, which represents an increase of 30 million from where things stood at the end of September 2021. Mind you, this includes the loss of nearly 4 million DTC subscribers when the company pulled its services out of Russia last year. This strong subscriber growth suggests the company won't have any trouble raising prices in the future.Don't discount free, ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV, either. If a U.S. recession were to occur in the months or years that lie ahead, \"free\" would be an incredibly compelling price point for consumers. This fact isn't lost on advertisers.With Paramount Global's film segment on the mend and DTC growth impressing, steady gains are a real possibility.Walgreens Boots AllianceThe third tried-and-true stock that can safely double your money over the next five years, inclusive of dividends, is pharmacy chain Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA -0.94%). Walgreens has raised its dividend in each of the past 47 years and is currently doling out an inflation-fighting 5.36% yield.What typically makes healthcare stocks a \"safe\" investment is the simple fact that we don't have any control over when we become ill or what ailment(s) we develop. This is why demand for prescription drugs, healthcare services, and medical devices is relatively consistent in any economic environment.However, Walgreens was something of an exception to this rule during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because it generates almost all of its revenue from its physical stores, lockdowns hurt pretty much all aspects of its sales channels. The good news is that the worst of the pandemic looks to be over, and Walgreens' management team has implemented a handful of initiatives geared at boosting organic growth.The most exciting change for Walgreens Boots Alliance is its shift to healthcare services. Walgreens and VillageMD -- Walgreens is a majority investor in VillageMD -- have opened 210 physician-staffed, full-service health clinics colocated in Walgreens' stores, as of Feb. 28, 2023. Capable of handling a broad array of ailments, not just vaccines, Walgreens shouldn't have any trouble attracting repeat visitors with these clinics. The plan is to have 1,000 of these clinics open by the end of 2027.The other big change is the company's aggressive spending on digital initiatives. Walgreens has revamped its supply chain and spent big bucks to improve its website. Even with its physical stores generating the bulk of net sales, having a more prominent and convenient online presence is key to boosting organic sales and driving repeat business.Berkshire HathawayThe fourth time-tested stock that can safely double your money by 2028 is conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B). Though Berkshire isn't exactly a household name, its billionaire CEO Warren Buffett certainly is.One of the benefits of purchasing Berkshire Hathaway stock is getting Warren Buffett as your portfolio manager... of sorts. Since Buffett became CEO in the mid-1960s, Berkshire Hathaway's Class A shares (BRK.A) have delivered an annualized return of 19.8%. In other words, shareholders have been doubling their money every 3.6 years, on average, for almost six decades. While past performance is no guarantee of future results, Buffett outperforming Wall Street has become somewhat the norm.One reason Berkshire Hathaway has been such a success for so long is Buffett's long-term thinking. The Oracle of Omaha and his team run a $342 billion investment portfolio and regularly use time as an ally. By purchasing stakes in and/or acquiring cyclical businesses, Berkshire Hathaway is able to take advantage of the natural expansion of the U.S. and global economy over long periods. This is probably a good time to mention that Visa and Paramount Global are two holdings within Buffett's portfolio.Portfolio concentration has been a key cog in Berkshire Hathaway's outperformance as well. The Oracle of Omaha has long believed that diversification is only necessary for investors who don't know what they're doing. Despite owning stakes in 49 different securities, most of Berkshire's portfolio is tied up in just a few stocks.Lastly, Buffett and his investing team have packed Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio with dividend-paying stocks. Companies that pay a regular dividend tend to be profitable on a recurring basis. More importantly, they've crushed nondividend payers in the return column over multiple decades.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":894,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":9946490324,"gmtCreate":1681011528269,"gmtModify":1681012917778,"author":{"id":"4095377288464890","authorId":"4095377288464890","name":"tehOkosong","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/918e2c68c3b3f972dd6d2e74aef3c5ea","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4095377288464890","authorIdStr":"4095377288464890"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9946490324","repostId":"1108890125","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1108890125","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1680933081,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1108890125?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2023-04-08 13:51","market":"other","language":"en","title":"Reminder: Holiday Trading Hours during Easter","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1108890125","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Easter is around the corner.Stock Markets in the Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia wil","content":"<html><head></head><body><p>Easter is around the corner.</p><p>Stock Markets in the Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia will be closed on April 10, 2023.</p><p>Please take note of the trading arrangements during the holiday period and make the necessary preparations in advance.</p><p></p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ec5f92be02ccd2490bc6bdc97614f8d5\" tg-height=\"1080\" tg-width=\"1080\" title=\"\"/></p><p></p></body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta content=\"text/html;

That’s because the company pays you to hold your shares when you have a dividend stock. And that’s true of even the biggest of large-cap stocks.Most dividend-paying large-cap stocks issue payouts on a quarterly or monthly basis. If you are a younger investor, putting those payouts back into the stock makes sense to increase your position and grow your portfolio even faster. Once you get that money, it’s yours to do with as you see fit.But if you’re a retiree, you’re probably more inclined to take those payouts as income to supplement your other retirement accounts.Either way works, and I appreciate a company that cares for its shareholders.
