Warren Buffett’s warning on Walmart: There are better stocks than retailers
Warren Buffett was a major shareholders in Walmart until 2016, when he sold most of Berkshire Hathaway's stake in the retailer. At that time, Buffett cited Jeff Bezos and Amazon as a threat that made retail stocks a "tough" game.

7 Dividend Growth Stocks to Buy, Including Disney
A funny thing happened between Aug. 16, 2012, when Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) initiated a $2.65 quarterly dividend, its first since 1995, and today — Apple became a dividend stock. Since the company paid that first dividend, Apple’s stock shot up 233% and its dividend has grown by 115%, an annualized growth rate of 14%. A big reason Apple initiated its capital allocation program in the first place was to appease investors who felt its growth was slowing and it wasn’t returning enough money to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

The Dow registered its longest stint in correction territory in nearly 60 years
The Dow Jones Industrial Average notched a dubious distinction on Wednesday, as U.S. equity benchmarks fell firmly lower, and extended it on Thursday despite a powerful rally. The blue-chip benchmark failed to move 10% above the closing low hit earlier in the year, and has now spent the longest period in correction territory — 132 trading sessions (as of Thursday’s close) — since the 223 sessions in 1961, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Some market-technician purists believe that an asset must put in a new high to officially emerge from correction phase.

Why Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu Can Rise 20%
China’s BATs—Baidu Inc. ( BIDU), Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. ( BABA), and Tencent Holdings Ltd. (TCEHY)—are set to fly 15-20% higher after giant pullbacks this year. After climbing 63%, 96%, and 345%, respectively, over the past five years, analyst Ray Wang at Constellation Research thinks the declines of these tech giants will be short lived and that this represents a unique buying opportunity as investors look for safe places to put their money. Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent are virtually protected from foreign competition within China due to China’s great Internet firewall, which restricts access to behemoth internet players like Google, Facebook and YouTube.
