The 1 Stock You've Been Overlooking for Your Roth IRA

Opening an account to save for retirement can be one of the most beneficial financial decisions a person ever makes. If you qualify for a Roth IRA -- the kind that offers tax-free compounding and withdrawals at retirement -- it's one of the easiest ways to build wealth you can find.

Many say the best stocks to buy in these accounts are the ones that could skyrocket higher or those paying big dividends. It makes sense. If you don't have to pay taxes on the gains, why not hold the stocks that offer the biggest potential? That said, companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) that produce outsized returns for shareholders through both dividends and share buybacks shouldn't be overlooked. Simple math highlights how investors shouldn't overlook the tech giant for their tax-advantaged account.
