[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images BT (LSE:BT.A) shares are up 63% over one year, but are actually only up 41% over five years. The stock has been notoriously volatile with analysts and investors alike attempting to approximate the real value of the stock. That’s been made much harder by the rollout of fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP). It’s a massive undertaking and nobody really knows what BT, as a business, is going to look like when it’s all over. But back to the headline… £10,000 invested in BT shares five years ago would be worth £14,100 today, plus dividends. These dividends would have…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images As I write (29 April), Jet2 (LSE:JET2) shares are up 8% over 12 months. However, it’s been anything but a steady incline. The stock has come under pressure from several angles including Labour’s autumn Budget and the potential fallout from Donald Trump’s global tariff policy. In fact, the stock is only up over the period after a positive trading report boosted the stock. As such, £10,000 invested in Jet2 shares 12 months ago would now be worth around £10,800 plus, around £100 in dividends. What’s been going on at Jet2? As noted above, Jet2 shares…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares are actually flat versus 2 April, also known as ‘Liberation Day’ — the day that the US President announced his global tariff policy. That may come as a surprise to some investors, given that Trump’s trade policies have generally been poorly received internationally and have weighed on the global perception of US companies. Needless to say, Tesla, due to Elon Musk’s association/part within the administration, has seen its reputation suffer more than most. Interestingly, the pound has actually appreciated around 2% versus the dollar since 2 April. As such, £10,000 invested then…

Ice investing can generate large, short-term gains on occasion, but we’re primarily seeking steady gains over time, and shallower declines during wider stock market falls.…

The axiom that “the user pays” is one of the central ideas to how the United States invests in its publicly owned roads. For decades, federal and state governments have charged road users — most notably through gasoline taxes — and then reinvested those revenues back into the transportation system. Policymakers then have the responsibility to match spending to physical need and relative contribution, particularly when state and local governments own different but…
