[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images While the FTSE 100 index of leading shares hit a new all-time high earlier this year, 2025 has not been without significant falls both in the index and in the prices of many of its individual constituent shares. Although many shares have done very well over the past month after early April’s market mayhem, I reckon some could still potentially move a lot higher. Recovery stories To start with, there are shares that have been beaten down and started to recover, but are still well below their earlier highs. As an example, I bought Greggs…

[ad_1] energyRe, a U.S.-based renewable energy developer, has signed a new renewable energy agreement with Google to support over 600 megawatts of solar and solar-plus-storage projects in South Carolina. Through this agreement, Google will invest in and buy Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from these projects to reduce its emissions across operations and the global value chain. Notably, this is the second time Google has partnered with energyRe, and together. Both deals will bring more than 1 gigawatt (GWac) of clean energy to the grid. Amanda Peterson Corio, Head of Data Center Energy, said, “Strengthening the grid by deploying more reliable…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I have been on the hunt for cheap shares to buy for my portfolio after the stock market volatility of recent months. Two that came on my radar are actually ones I own already, but as long as I keep my portfolio sufficiently diversified, I am not against building a bigger stake in a company while taking advantage of a lower share price to do so. However, while they sell for pennies each and may look cheap, in both cases there are risks that could help explain the low-seeming price. Topps Tiles My shareholding in…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Searching for passive income stocks, it’s easy for our eyes to fall on the biggest dividend yields. We might see M&G with a 9.1% forecast yield and Legal & General on 8.8%, and look no further. And I do rate both as worthy of serious consideration. But to build up the best retirement pot we can manage, we might want to add some with the best track records of rises. I’ve been digging some out. British American Tobacco British American Tobacco (LSE: BATS) has increased its dividend for 28 years in a row. The most…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Every April, there is a mad frenzy as lots of people rush to make the most of their annual ISA allowance before the end of the tax year. Then, many people do not think about an ISA again until the same thing happens 12 months later. With April fast moving into the rearview mirror and many people probably spending more time in the sun than thinking about finance, starting an ISA may be low down many people’s priority list this May. But actually, I reckon this could be an ideal time to start one –…
[ad_1] Credit: Tom Fisk from Pexels On our planet, the cycle and balance of carbon from reservoir to reservoir is a matter of life or death. Carbon moves from the atmosphere to the ocean, to carbon-based life forms, to rocks or sediments, and it can be tied up in any of these reservoirs throughout the process. Imbalances within the cycle can have dramatic global impacts. For example, too much carbon in the atmosphere leads to the greenhouse effect and global warming, and too much carbon in the ocean leads to ocean acidification, which compromises conditions for marine life. How does…
[ad_1] Trade tariffs are back — reshaping markets and raising critical questions for investors. In early 2025, the United States enacted broad-based tariffs on nearly all trading partners, reversing decades of liberalization. The result: renewed volatility, geopolitical tension, and a clear imperative for portfolio resilience. While today’s headlines feel new, the dynamics aren’t. Over the past 150 years, the United States has seen multiple high-tariff regimes — from the post–Civil War boom to the Smoot-Hawley fallout. The global economy has changed, but investor behavior and risk pricing remain governed by familiar patterns. In this blog, we examine those lessons through…
[ad_1] The recent surge in US Treasury bond yields after Moody’s cut the credit rating of the United States (US) sovereign debt could be a wake-up call for financial markets, the kind of canary in the coal mine that ends up being remembered as a turnaround signal. But for the Average Joe, there’s something more down-to-earth about this: expensive mortgage loans are here to stay.Despite months of falling interest rate expectations in the US, markets may be realizing that interest rates will not fall anytime soon, which is creating upward pressure on mortgage rates and thus making mortgage loans more…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Several investors have been looking to gold recently as a way of protecting their wealth. But I’m still focusing on growth stocks – especially ones trading at unusually cheap prices. Even in a volatile stock market, there are two reasons I prefer shares in businesses over gold. And that’s especially true with where things are at the moment. Gold One reason I’m staying away from gold at the moment is that it doesn’t look like the right time to buy it. Prices are at their highest levels in a decade, which isn’t particularly encouraging. Source:…
