Here's How Investing $300 Per Month Can Create $50,000 in Annual Dividends
Being able to live off dividend income in your retirement years can be a great goal to aim for. And by investing in the stock market, growing your portfolio, and investing in dividend-paying stocks, that can be possible. But just how does that all work? Below, I'll outline a strategy that can help you build up a strong portfolio balance over time through monthly investments of $300, and then, how that can eventually be transformed into a portfolio that's generating around $50,000 per year in dividends for you. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Investing in a growth-focused fund can build up a strong portfolio balance in the long term To achieve the best returns over the long run, you'll likely want to have a position in top growth stocks. While they can be volatile, especially in the short term, over a long period of time, you should benefit from their growth and rising valuations. It can, however, be hard to pick the right growth stocks and determine the right mix of them. In order to get around this, you can simply invest in the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ). The exchange-traded fund (ETF) will give you exposure to the top 100 non-financial stocks on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. There's no worry about having to change your portfolio composition over the years and determining which stocks to buy and sell. All that is taken care of for you through this ETF, which does the work for you. Over the past decade, the QQQ ETF has easily beaten the S&P 500, and is a great example of why it can be an ideal investment option when pursuing long-term growth. Data by YCharts. Historically, the S&P 500 has averaged an annual total return of close to 10%. It's possible that slower annual returns may be on the horizon, given how strong the market has been in recent years. But for the Invesco QQQ Trust, which has performed much better than the market, a 10% total annual return would be a slowdown, and thus, may be a realistic percentage to use when forecasting its future performance. If you were to invest $300 per month into the fund, and it ended up averaging a 10% annual total return (compounded), then after 35 years, your portfolio balance could climb to a value of over $1.1 million. Once you have a high enough balance, dividend stocks can do the rest With $1.1 million, you would need to put that money into investments that yield a little more than 4.5% to generate dividend income of $50,000 per year. If your balance is not at such a high level, then you would need to target a higher yield for that to be possible, and that can result in taking on a bit too much risk. After building up your portfolio to such a large amount, it'll be important to balance both dividend income along with capital preservation; you don't want all that work of growing your portfolio to go to waste by gambling it on a risky dividend. In 35-plus years, there will be new income-generating investments to consider, but one example today of an ETF that could bring in a lot of income is the iShares International Select Dividend ETF (NYSEMKT: IDV), which yields 5.3% and gives you exposure to international companies from all over the world. This or a similar type of investment could help provide you with a sufficiently high yield to produce $50,000 in annual dividends on a $1.1 million balance, while keeping your risk relatively low. Another thing you can do to try to minimize your risk is to spread your total investment across multiple ETFs. As long as you're averaging around 4.5%, then the end result can still be the same: $50,000 in dividends per year. Investing regularly into stocks is a good move for the long run Regardless of what the outlook may be for the stock market this year, or for the next few years, routinely investing in it can still be an effective way of building up your wealth over the long haul. Timing the market is a risky strategy that can result in you missing out on gains. By simply making it a routine to invest in a fund like the Invesco QQQ Trust each month, you don't need to worry about external factors -- simply trust the process. There may be anxiety and poor returns in any one year, but the long-term trajectory is still likely to be a very strong and positive one. Should you invest $1,000 in Invesco QQQ Trust right now?

Better Hypergrowth Stock: Rigetti Computing vs. CoreWeave
Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) and CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) both look like exciting growth plays for investors who can tolerate a lot of risk. Rigetti is an early mover in the quantum computing market, and CoreWeave is one of the market's fastest-growing artificial intelligence (AI) companies. Over the past 12 months, Rigetti's stock gained more than 970%. CoreWeave, which went public in March, has already soared about 250% from its IPO price of $40. Should you chase either of these high-flying hypergrowth tech stocks today? Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Rigetti's nascent business has room to grow Rigetti provides quantum processing units (QPUs), full quantum systems, and a cloud-based platform for developing quantum applications. That makes it a one-stop shop for quantum computing solutions, and it has been expanding its menu of offerings with cheaper commercial systems and modular systems that link together multiple systems. Classical computers store and process data in binary bits: zeros and ones. Quantum computers use a different paradigm that takes advantage of the peculiarities of quantum mechanics: They use qubits, which can be ones or zeroes, but can also have values that are probability amplitudes -- complex weighted combinations of those zero and one states. As an investor, you don't need to understand how it works: What matters is that using qubits to process calculations allows quantum computers to quickly get answers to some unusual types of problems that would take years or even centuries for classical supercomputers to solve. The downsides are that quantum computers are bigger, pricier, and consume much more power. Also, because qubits are finicky and fragile, outside interference can flip their states. As a result, today's quantum computers produce errors once every few hundred operations, vastly more often than traditional computers, whose ratios are measured in errors per billion or trillion operations. To make quantum computing technology truly useful, its error rates will have to come down to magnitudes of one in a million or better. Rigetti's big customers include the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, the Air Force Research Lab, and the Horizon Quantum Computing in Singapore. Its recent product launches include its smaller 9-qubit Novera QPU for commercial customers and its 84-qubit Ankaa 3 quantum system for government and research clients. It plans to launch a new modular system, which connects four of its 9-qubit systems to create a 36-qubit system, later this year. It aims to launch a non-modular 100-qubit system in 2026. Rigetti's revenue declined by 8% in 2023 and another 10% in 2024, mainly due to its lack of new R&D milestone payments and the uneven timing of payments from its government and research contracts. The company's net loss also widened from $75 million in 2023 to $201 million in 2024. But from 2024 to 2027, analysts expect its revenue to grow at a compound annual rate of 52% from $10.8 million to $37.7 million, and expect it to narrow its net loss to $85.4 million. That acceleration should be driven by more commercial contracts and even more powerful systems. But with a market cap of $3.3 billion currently, Rigetti already trades at 87 times its estimated sales for 2027. It might eventually grow into that valuation if it scales up its business and its quantum systems become more widely adopted for mainstream computing applications, but that valuation bubble could also burst if it fails to meet Wall Street's high expectations. That might be why company insiders sold five times as many shares as they bought over the past 12 months. CoreWeave has carved out a high-growth AI niche CoreWeave was founded as an Ethereum -mining business in 2017, but it abandoned that market after the cryptocurrency crash of 2018. The company then repurposed its crypto-mining GPUs (graphics processing units) to power AI tasks on its new cloud infrastructure platform, which it significantly expanded with a $100 million purchase of Nvidia 's H100 GPUs in 2022. CoreWeave then leveraged its GPUs as collateral to secure even more funding, and it attracted some big investments from Nvidia, Cisco, and PureStorage. That support helped the company expand from just three AI data centers at the end of 2022 to 33 such locations across the U.S. and Europe today. It claims its dedicated GPU approach makes it roughly 35 times faster and 80% cheaper for tackling AI tasks than traditional cloud platforms, and its top customers already include AI leaders like Microsoft and OpenAI. As CoreWeave opened more data centers to meet the growing demand in the AI space, its revenue surged from $16 million in 2022 to $1.92 billion in 2024. However, its net loss widened from $31 million in 2022 to $863 million in 2024 as it bought and leased more data centers, bought more GPUs from Nvidia, and dealt with higher energy costs. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect CoreWeave's revenue to soar at a compound annual rate of 105% to $16.55 billion, and expect it to narrow its net loss to $747 million. That's an impressive growth trajectory, but soaring expenses and high debt could throttle long-term expansion. It could also face fresh competition as bigger cloud platforms roll out more dedicated AI services. With a market cap of $67.3 billion, CoreWeave seems more reasonably valued than Rigetti at 4 times its estimated sales for 2027. But when its lockup period expires on Sept. 24, a lot of its insiders could rush to sell and take profits on the high-flying stock. The better hypergrowth play: CoreWeave Rigetti might have a bright future as the quantum computing market expands, but its business is still wobbly and it is trading at meme stock valuations. CoreWeave is also risky, but it's growing faster and its valuations look more reasonable. So if I could only pick one of these hypergrowth stocks today, I'd choose CoreWeave.
