[ad_1] Image source: M&S Group plc The Marks and Spencer (LSE:MKS) share price has been taking a bit of a tumble over the last week or so, falling at one point by as much as 10%. It’s now down less than 2% over the past trading week but the earlier rapid sell-off came as the company reported its IT systems had been compromised.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The International Consolidated Airlines Group (LSE:IAG) share price endured a sharp sell-off in April, sliding 7% for the month.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images At the start of the year, I decided I would avoid doubling down on my losing ISA investments. In other words, those holdings in my Stocks and Shares ISA that had taken a big plunge. Specifically, I had been cut by a couple of falling knives called Diageo and Moderna. My strategy was to return to backing proven winners and companies on an upwards trajectory. But four months into the year, I’ve just broken this plan. How so? Well, I added to my holding in healthcare giant Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO), which had fallen 60%…
[ad_1] President Trump’s war on equity continues.Late on Friday, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced $54 million in cuts to seven elite universities that were researching how to make our sprawling transportation system more equitable — or in the words of Secretary Sean Duffy undertaking “a radical DEI and green agenda.”Radical? Hardly. The eliminated programs include, among other things, research into how to ensure that decarbonization is equitable, how to support low-income workers who live in transit deserts, how car dependency creates inequities, and how pollution from the transportation system disproportionately affects low-income communities.How radical can such grants to “University…
