High-yield dividend stocks may be appealing, but when it comes to a long-term, income-based investing strategy, focusing on growth rather than the highest current yields may be the best way to go.

Artifical Intelligence (AI) stocks continue to dominate the discussion for investors. Given the rapid speed these technologies are moving, and the potential that they pack, it’s no surprise that is the case. OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform exploded onto the scene a few months ago.

Throughout the pandemic, EV stocks soared on the belief that a paradigm shift was underway in the automotive space.

Generally, investment in quality growth stocks translates into returns that beat the index by a big margin. It’s a bonus to find growth stocks with dividends. Also, for blue-chip stocks, dividend growth is steady and can be around 3% to 5% annually. For growth stocks that offer dividends, growth is likely to be aggressive. It would not be
