[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images It’s fair to say that my investment in Persimmon (LSE:PSN) hasn’t gone to plan, so far. I bought the FTSE 100 housebuilding share at around £22.10 back in June 2022. Today, it’s changing hands for just £11.92. Falling inflation — and buoyant hopes of sector-boosting interest rate cuts — allowed the housebuilder to pick up momentum around summer 2023. But Persimmon’s rebound didn’t endure, its share price entering a fresh slump late last year as worries over Bank of England (BoE) policy returned. Despite its underperfomance, I’m not wringing my hands with angst. I buy…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I’ve had an eye on shares in FTSE 250 drinks company AG Barr (LSE:BAG) for a while and my view has been that I’d like to buy the stock at or below 600p. As I write this, it’s trading at 589p. The trouble is, it’s been at this level before and I’ve always thought there were better opportunities for me elsewhere. But I think there’s a very strong case to be made for considering it at today’s prices. Investment thesis The core of my investment thesis for AG Barr is simple – I think earnings…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100 is down 3.5% this month as UK shares suffer losses due to market uncertainty. But as the Footsie had such a great start to the year, the minor dip has only brought it to a six-week low. As a value investor, I’m more interested in high-quality shares that are at their lowest in years – 30% to 50% down from their 52-week high. I’ve found three that fit the bill but I’m interested in just one of them. JD Sports Fashion It’s JD Sports (LSE: JD.), a leading British multinational retailer specialising…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is down 17% over a fortnight. As such, a £10,000 investment then would be worth just £8,300 today. Investors who thought they were picking up a bargain then were engaging in a challenging investment activity: trying to catch a falling knife. The stock’s decline is attributed to a combination of weak global sales, leadership concerns, and analyst downgrades. Additionally, broader market volatility and Tesla’s fundamental challenges, such as declining deliveries and increased competition, have further eroded investor confidence. While some remain optimistic about the company’s long-term potential, as reflected by brief rallies,…
[ad_1] There are warning signs of a possible recession as the U.S. federal government looks to slash jobs, while tariffs could touch off a trade war. The Atlanta Federal Reserve’s estimate for real gross domestic product (GDP) growth for the first quarter has gone from predicting growth of more than 2% in late February to a 2.4% decline as of its last estimate on March 6. While the specter of a recession is generally not good for the market, there is one high-yielding dividend stock that could perform well in this environment: AGNC Investment (AGNC -0.50%). A high yield in…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Investing in the stock market is my preferred way of building wealth. And if these investments are made through the Stocks and Shares ISA, the portfolio could compound much faster as the taxman won’t be getting his hands on capital gains and dividends. So why start investing at 30? Well, with 30 years of contributions through to the age of 60, an investor could, if averaging 10% annualised growth, achieve a portfolio worth £904,000. In turn, this could generate £45,000 annually. All tax free. This could allow an investor to retire early and it will…
