[ad_1] For USA Rare Earth, it was the best of timing and the worst of timing. Last month, the Tampa-based firm went public on the Nasdaq via a SPAC merger, taking a major step toward breaking China’s monopoly over the metals and magnets needed for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and fighter jets. This month, in retaliation to President Donald Trump’s trade war, Beijing banned exports of the exact metals and magnets USA Rare Earth aims to mine and manufacture. USA Rare Earth’s stock has surged as investors bet on one of the only companies promising to supply the country’s automakers, electronics factories, and…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The 3i Group (LSE: III) share price slumped 7.5% this morning (15 May) after it published full-year results to 31 March. That’s a blow for me, as it’s the single biggest FTSE 100 holding, worth an overmighty 10% of my entire self-invested personal pension (SIPP).

Today it’s declining towards 90% after markets took a dim view of this morning’s numbers. That reaction feels harsh.…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images At its lowest point on 7 April, the Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock price was down 43% from its 52-week high of $153. But from a low of under $87, we’ve already seen a strong recovery back to $135. That’s a gain of 56%, and enough to turn a £10,000 investment into a whopping £15,600. The lesson we can learn is not that we should try to time the bottom when investing in a stock. No, it’s that we can use short-term shocks and bad news to our advantage.

Harbour Energy (LSE: HBR) caught my attention after the stock climbed 18% in the past month. Despite the rapid price gains, it still boasts an eye-watering 11.17% yield! A good first impression — but high yields can be tricky and dividends are never guaranteed. Before I buy the stock, I need to see if it’s got what it takes to make it in the long run.
