ATLANTA , Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) President and CEO Mark George and Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Ed Elkins will participate in a fireside chat at the Barclays 42nd Annual Industrial Select Conference. Details on how to listen in to the discussion follow below.

I started investing with a modest $4,000, now growing it into a 23-stock portfolio. The median net worth varies by age, but most can invest $10,000 for growth. The goal here isn't to push random picks, but to offer long-term dividend ideas. I connect my choices to the broader economic picture, from undervalued essentials to GARP stocks. In this article, I highlight undervalued consumer staples, GARP stocks, and investment ideas linked to potential political changes, all aimed at steady dividend growth.

I believe we're at a turning point for cyclical stocks, with improving indicators and global growth signaling potential outperformance in industrials, energy, and transportation. I'm positioning my portfolio for this shift, adding to railroads, machinery, and energy stocks. I'm confident these sectors will see strong returns and accelerating dividend growth. Of course, risks remain - geopolitical tensions, inflation, or economic slowdowns could derail this trend. But for now, the risk/reward looks favorable.

Higher prices will reduce demand for goods and cool the economy, which in turn impacts the transportation sector.

The economy is mixed - strong in some sectors, weak in others. I see value in cyclical stocks and healthcare, both lagging but poised for growth. One pick is a cyclical turnaround story with strong recovery potential. The other is a high-yield healthcare gem with anti-cyclical resilience. Both stocks offer market-beating potential, solid dividends, and long-term growth. They're perfect for balancing risk and reward in today's uncertain economy.
