    Cisco Stock Is a Great Equity Buy and a Great Growth Buy

    Despite its long history, Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) may have only just begun. Cisco stock once flew so high that it briefly attained the largest market cap. After the end of the dot-com boom, CSCO languished for years.Source: Shutterstock However, CSCO stock has taken on a new identity as a dividend-paying stock focused more on software and security. As a result, it appears positioned to benefit from the growth of 5G wireless technology.Between the dividend and the emergence of 5G, CSCO appears set to become one of the essential growth and income stocks.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 15 Stocks That May Be Hurt by This Year's Big IPOs Cisco: The Income StockI once had quite a history with Cisco stock. I bought shares in 1997, and I was thrilled when they had risen eightfold in just over two years thanks to the dot-com boom. Depressingly, I then watched most of my gains melt away over the next year and a half before I finally sold for a more modest profit.Much like I have become a different investor, Cisco has become a different company. The old Cisco focused on hardware. Today, the emphasis has shifted to software and security. Moreover, the Cisco of old focused on investments, buying companies, and inspiring a higher stock price. Today's Cisco trades 36% below its record high of 19 years ago and emphasizes its rising dividend.As for the payout, the company will pay out $1.40 to shareholders this year. This places the current yield at almost 2.7%. Moreover, CSCO has hiked the payout every year since the stock began paying dividends in 2011. Those who have held since 2011 earn a double-digit percentage yield. It would surprise me if CSCO stock did not become attain dividend aristocrat status (meaning 25-plus years of dividend hikes) in 17 years. Poised for More GrowthThis does not mean I advocate writing off Cisco stock as a stodgy Dow 30 equity. CSCO will produce necessary products and generate dividends. That said, I do not think Cisco will become more like Dow peers Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) and 3M (NYSE:MMM) than growth stocks such as Square (NYSE:SQ) or Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX).However, I expect Cisco's products to generate more investor enthusiasm, and with that, more growth to add to the income stream. Wall Street forecasts profit increases of 18.1% this year and 10.1% the next. Moreover, CSCO has attained something unimaginable with the old Cisco stock--a low price-to-earnings (PE) ratio. Today, CSCO stock maintains a forward multiple of about 15.4.That appears cheap when considering the role Cisco will play in the 5G space. CSCO has created a "Cloud-to-Client" solution for 5G. This will affect the network at every level. It offers a seamless 5G solution end-to-end that will enhance security while optimizing speed and performance. This should drive profit increases as Cisco stock moves into the next decade--and the next quantum leap in wireless tech. Concluding Thoughts on Cisco StockExpect 5G to turn Cisco into the quintessential growth and income stock. Put simply, this is not the dot-com boom CSCO. This one-time growth stock has morphed into a more conservative, dividend-oriented company. Payouts have increased every year since 2011. With these rising payouts, it could eventually become a dividend aristocrat. Moreover, with its move into 5G, double-digit profit increases have returned.However, the real benefit may come as 5G represents the next great quantum leap in wireless technology. We already know 5G will probably equip every appliance, light fixture, and meter with wireless technology. However, the real power could come from what we do not imagine.Few could have imagined all of the apps that would come about when Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) introduced the iPhone in 2007. Investors should expect the same, surprising level of innovation as 5G becomes more prevalent.I do not know what products will emerge. However, regardless of what creation comes about CSCO could serve as the backbone to that technology. Even beyond the financials, that function could become reason enough to buy Cisco stock.As of this writing, Will Healy did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned stocks.

    Cisco report estimates 10% of global GDP will be stored on blockchains by 2027

    A report from Cisco has estimated that by 2027, 10% of global GDP will likely be stored on blockchain technology. Cisco is a US multinational technology conglomerate headquartered in San Jose, California. It has released a report highlighting the significance of blockchain technology in today’s economy. The report also outlines how the blockchain market is expected to reach $9.7 billion by 2021. The report takes a long-term outlook on the potential of blockchain technology. One insight provided by Cisco is that 83% of executives believe trust is the cornerstone of a digital economy. Trust is an aspect blockchain technology can provide since it is designed to be transparent. Cisco claims that counterfeiting costs US-based semiconductor companies an estimated $7.5 billion per year.

    5 Large-Cap Stocks Pushing Higher

    U.S. equities are extending their bounce higher on Wednesday, moving back over major technical resistance levels as the S&P 500 pushes up and over the 2,800 level it has been toying with since late February and has proved intractable since October.If the bulls can hold above this level, a push to prior highs could be in the cards -- putting a nice end to the impressive rally out of the late December low. While Boeing (NYSE:BA) continues to dominate much of the attention of the markets, with much of the world grounding its 737 MAX jetliner after two crashes within five months of each other, the familiar catalysts of steady corporate buybacks and central bank dovishness are powering the buying. * 15 Stocks Sitting on Huge Piles of Cash With large-caps leading the way, a number of key large-cap stocks are extending to the upside. Here are five Dow Jones stocks rallying hard:InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Large-Cap Stocks: Bank of America (BAC) Click to Enlarge If the major averages are going to keep blitzing higher, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) shares should see a move up and over three-month channel resistance after a long consolidation above its 200-day moving average. Management announced on Feb. 7 that it was increasing its share buyback program by an additional $2.5 billion.The large-cap stock should next report results on April 16 before the bell. Analysts are looking for earnings of 68 cents per share on revenues of $23.6 billion. When the company last reported on Jan. 16, earnings of 70 cents per share beat estimates by seven cents on a 10.7% rise in revenues. American Express (AXP) Click to Enlarge Shares of American Express (NYSE:AXP), which have rallied more than 25% off of the lows seen in late December, are now making a run at the high set in early December. A rally extension would mark a break of triple-top resistance and push to new records. Shares were recently upgraded to "overweight" by analysts at Atlantic Equities. * The 10 Best Stocks to Buy for the Bull Market's Anniversary The large-cap stock should next report results on April 17 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1.99 per share on revenues of $10.5 billion. When the company last reported on Jan. 17, earnings of $1.74 per share missed estimates by six cents on a 7.9% rise in revenues. Cisco Systems (CSCO) Click to Enlarge Shares of Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) are extending their unbroken rally out of the December lows, a run that is already worth more than 25%. The rally takes the stock up and out of a year-long consolidation range that plagued the bulls throughout 2018. Management recently guided revenue above consensus estimates, increased its dividend by 6%, and approved a $15 billion increase to its share buyback program.The large-cap stock should next report results on May 15 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of 77 cents per share on revenues of $12.9 billion. When the company last reported on Feb. 13, earnings of 73 cents per share beat estimates by a penny on a 4.7% rise in revenues. Intel (INTC) Click to Enlarge Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) shares are recovering from a quick test of its 20-day moving average, setting up a run to its prior high of $57-a-share set in the first half of 2018.Semiconductor stocks in general have been hot so far this year, amid hopes of a global manufacturing turnaround and reports of a shortage in processors -- something that is reportedly set to get worse in the second quarter according to Digitimes. * 7 Top Stocks to Buy From Goldman Sachs' Secret Portfolio The company should next report results on April 25 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of 87 cents per share on revenues of $16 billion. When the company last reported on Jan. 24, earnings of $1.28 beat estimates by six cents on a 9.4% rise in revenues. Microsoft (MSFT) Click to Enlarge Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares are on the verge of a new record high, rebounding more than 22% off of their December low to challenge the high set back in October. The multi-month pullback was the first significant bout of weakness for the tech giant since the spring of 2016. So bulls have been aggressively buying this dip amid the company's ongoing success in the cloud.The large-cap stock should next report results on April 25 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1 per share on revenues of $29.9 billion. When the company last reported on Jan. 30, earnings of $1.10 beat estimates by a penny on a 12.3% rise in revenues.As of this writing, William Roth did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

    The 10 Best Stocks to Buy for the Bull Market’s Anniversary

    It may not look like it over the last few days, but the bull market just celebrated its tenth birthday. From a low of 666 points in March 2009, the benchmark S&P 500 has soared over 300%. However, the search for the best stocks to buy today is much more complicated.For starters, the current bull market is the longest one in U.S. history. While that's an enviable position to be in, especially considering global jitters, it's also a target. Prospective investors will likely require more fundamentally positive news to drive equities higher. Otherwise, they might adopt a defensive stance, which might hurt even the best stocks to buy.On the other hand, every investor who's not approaching retirement anytime soon wants some exposure to growth names. Unfortunately, international markets don't provide much joy: ambiguity over the U.S.-China trade war clouds Asia, while European indices have failed to break above their bearish trend channels.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 Top Stocks to Buy From Goldman Sachs' Secret Portfolio If you're looking for the best stocks to buy, or just stocks in general, you'll only find the most reliable names right here in the U.S. Here are ten companies that may spark growth for the next ten years:Source: Shutterstock Nvidia (NVDA)I'm going to go out on a limb and place semiconductor firm Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) at the top of my list of best stocks to buy. Admittedly, it's a scary proposition. Since the beginning of last October, NVDA stock has dropped nearly 47%. This year, shares have gained over 12%, but much work remains.Still, the theme of this gallery isn't about what are the best stocks to advantage right now; instead, we're discussing companies that will not only survive, but thrive over the next decade. Irrespective of whether we continue this bull market or not, I have confidence in the longer-term prospect for NVDA stock.Here's why: Nvidia is deeply involved in multiple industries of tomorrow. From driverless technologies to deep learning and artificial intelligence, the company constantly pushes the envelope. And don't forget about bitcoin: should cryptocurrencies rise again -- and they very well could -- NVDA stock almost surely swings higher.Source: Shutterstock Cisco (CSCO)In terms of relevant, long-term plays, Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) easily represents one of the best stocks to buy. Its dominant position in the networking and telecommunications-equipment sectors makes CSCO stock a reliable, albeit typically boring name.However, Cisco has recently shed its somewhat dull reputation. On a year-to-date basis, CSCO stock has jumped nearly 20%. A few days ago, shares hit a multi-year high. As such, you may want to wait for a pullback before diving in.That said, Cisco isn't mooning without justification. Because of the Huawei controversy and the trade war, the Donald Trump administration has essentially blacklisted the Chinese firm. And despite the fierce rhetoric in Washington, punishing Huawei is a bipartisan priority. * 7 Dow Jones Stocks to Buy That suits Cisco just fine, as Huawei is a prime competitor to its business.Source: Shutterstock AT&T (T)While we're on the subject of telecommunications, we've got to talk about AT&T (NYSE:T). Depending on what camp you fall under, you either believe T stock holds undervalued opportunity, or that it's cheap for a reason.My colleague Vince Martin holds the latter position, and I strongly recommend reading his analysis. Mature investors always want to know the reasons why they should avoid a stock; after all, you've already made a decision why you want to buy it in the first place.To briefly summarize, AT&T has struggled to grow in a saturated sector, and that has reflected poorly on T stock. Plus, with the telecom giant overextending itself with its aggressive acquisitions, obvious questions cloud the investment.At the same time, T stock represents a viable play in the next-generation 5G network. Specifically, AT&T will focus on the business aspect, while Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) attacks the residential market. The burgeoning network should provide ample opportunities for both, making AT&T a risky, but also a somewhat easy choice.Source: Shutterstock Amazon (AMZN)I almost hate mentioning this company because I've mentioned it many times before. However, I can't deny the painfully obvious, so I won't even try. If you want a list of the best stocks to buy for the long haul, you must include Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).Sure, AMZN stock has taken a dive since October of last year, technically making it an undervalued prospect. Furthermore, recent volatility suggests that speculators may get another shot at a generous discount. Considering that Amazon has a long track record of success in the markets, you can certainly buy with confidence.But the biggest argument I offer is the company's disruptive nature. They've upended traditional, brick-and-mortar retail. At the same time, e-commerce trends show that AMZN stock has more growth to extract in this arena. * 9 Trade War Stocks to Sell on U.S.-China Deal News More importantly, management operates with a chip on its shoulder. Always hungry, they'll stop at almost nothing to expand their presence, even if that means stomping on everyone else.Source: Shutterstock Magellan Health (MGLN)Automatically, you'll find healthcare-related companies included in almost any extensive list of best stocks to buy. Naturally, this industry benefits from consistent, almost captive demand. Everyone eventually requires medical attention. Moreover, the rapidly aging baby boomer demographic ensures a robust revenue stream.However, focused plays within this broader category, like Magellan Health (NASDAQ:MGLN) may net significant longer-term profits. Unlike many of its competitors, Magellan incorporates a holistic approach to wellness. As they make clear on their website, this includes behavioral health.Fundamentally, MGLN stock rides a powerful tailwind. According to a report last year from NBC News, major depression is on the rise in every demographic. That fact alone provides immediate legitimacy to Magellan and its holistic health approach.Moreover, mental health concerns have sharply impacted the under-18 crowd. It's a problem that necessitates a response, as Generation Z will soon enter the labor force en masse. Therefore, Magellan's relevancy will definitely rise, as may MGLN stock.Source: Steve Pomeroy via Flickr (Modified) Raytheon (RTN)It's always the hope that problems can be solved nonviolently. Unfortunately, in some cases -- such as North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un -- other options also need to be available. In these awful situations, you call Raytheon (NYSE:RTN), which has been a leader in electronics and defense since 1922.The recent failed negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea highlight how important it is to have a company like Raytheon in your corner.Although the second round of talks ended miserably for Trump, it boosted relevancy for RTN stock. To keep our enemies and adversaries in check, they must recognize and respect American military supremacy. * 7 Chinese Stocks to Buy for the 2019 Rebound Further, the modern nature of warfare emphasizes precision targeting as opposed to old-school carpet bombing. This again benefits RTN stock, where the underlying company is on the cutting edge of weapons deployment.Source: David via Flickr (Modified) FireEye (FEYE)Common misconceptions lead many people to believe that we have an unassailable technological edge over terrorist states like North Korea. While no one can match us in the digital realm, that doesn't mean our enemies are in the stone ages.For example, a recent report from the U.N. Security Council revealed that North Korean hackers have infiltrated cryptocurrency exchanges to circumvent economic sanctions. Because it's a rogue nation, any cyberattack they commit has an overwhelming asymmetrical leverage: they can devastate us while we can't do much in retaliation (short of war).As a result of this asymmetry, I think investors should consider FireEye (NASDAQ:FEYE) for the long haul. Granted, FEYE stock isn't the most stable name within the cybersecurity industry. Nevertheless, it has tremendous growth potential because the industry itself enjoys guaranteed demand.More importantly, cybersecurity is a broad category. Whether you're an individual, a corporation, or a government agency, everyone needs online safety. The cost for a cyber-breach is simply too detrimental to ignore. That fear factor will likely keep FEYE stock running for the next decade, and beyond.Source: Shutterstock Robert Half International (RHI)If you needed proof that the nine-to-five concept of employment was dying, the gig economy's rise is it. Rather than depend on a single employer to provide a living wage, workers today seek temporary or contract work. As independent contractors, their professional lives are never dull, which is an important factor for millennials.According to a report from Intuit, by 2020, 40% of American workers will ply their trade in the gig economy. That's next year, which means you likely know someone who has ditched the cubicles for a more dynamic lifestyle. Although not a direct play on this phenomenon, the movement nevertheless benefits Robert Half International (NYSE:RHI).In prior years, Robert Half specialized in job placements for their corporate clients. They still do, but the emphasis among workers has changed from stability to variability. That works to the company's advantage, as they have many clients that require temporary help. Not only that, an increasing number of organizations actively encourage the gig economy. * 7 Top Stocks to Buy From Goldman Sachs' Secret Portfolio So while RHI stock is going through turbulence now, expect this name to do big things over the next decade.Source: Bixentro via Flickr Match (MTCH)Back when I was in the dating scene, online dating was a bit of a novelty. That's actually putting it nicely. If you couldn't meet someone through the traditional channels, something was wrong with you.Things have dramatically changed since those days. Now, it's very common for people to hook up through the internet. Today, 40% of Americans use online-dating services, and that figure will likely increase over the next several years. Obviously, this boosts dating site Match Group (NASDAQ:MTCH) and by logical deduction, MTCH stock.But what further bolsters the case for including MTCH in this list of stocks to buy is gender representation. Unsurprisingly, more men than women use online dating services. However, that gap is a lot smaller than you might initially think: 52.4% of men versus 47.6% of women.What this translates to is an ample consumer base that should yield long-term growth for MTCH stock.Source: Shutterstock Tilray (TLRY)Last year, cannabis firms ranked very highly among stocks to buy. This year, the situation is significantly more muted. For instance, during a brief moment one September day last year, Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) was a $300-a-pop company. Today, you can buy TLRY stock for around $70.Such extreme volatility has knocked the wind out of the sector, pushing would-be investors away. Look, I don't blame them. While I love weed -- as an investment, just to be clear -- I admit it's not a sector for everyone. But where will TLRY stock be in 10 years' time? Probably a lot higher than $70.I say this because marijuana's Schedule I classification is on its last leg. Just look at the evidence. Public opinion on legalization has completely reversed from the turn of the century. Conservatives like John Boehner and Michael Steele have conspicuously supported the green revolution.Even Trump and the Democrats saw eye-to-eye on the farm bill, which legalized hemp. Really, what more evidence do you need than this? * 7 Dow Jones Stocks to Buy And once Schedule I classification goes, it's open season. Without fear of federal reprisal, financial institutions will back cannabis firms, legitimizing the industry.As of this writing, Josh Enomoto is long bitcoin and T stock.

    5G is going to ‘change the way we work and live’

    Paul Dellaquila, Defiance Global Head of ETFS, says 5G will “change the way we work and live because it’s going to increase speed, lower latency and give Internet mobility to parts of the world that never had it before.” Yahoo Finance’s Alexis Christoforous speaks to him.
