[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock is a strange case. Just when you think it’s grossly overvalued, it bounces back to hit new highs. Just look at the incredibly volatile share price recently. It’s down 17% in a month and 29% since a December high of $479. Yet since Donald Trump’s election victory, it’s still up 34%. Over one year, the stock is 69% higher — similar to Nvidia! In the past, all significant dips in the Tesla share price have proven to be buying opportunities. So, should I take this one?

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images While the global economy continues to be in a turbulent phase, Britain’s flagship FTSE 100 index of leading shares has been doing well. This month, indeed, it hit a new all-time high. So, would now be a good time for an investor to buy blue-chip UK shares?

An index of 100 shares contains shares that are doing well, ones that are doing badly, and some that are doing little of anything. So, whether the FTSE 100 is at a high…

Government figures shows the UK has 4,850 Stocks and Shares ISA millionaires, and their numbers will only grow over time. That’s impressive, given that the ISA contribution limit is just £20,000 a year. But clearly, it can be done. The key ingredient is time. It won’t happen overnight. Now here’s the twist.

[ad_1] (Bloomberg) — Brazil’s top capital-markets bankers are predicting a drop-off in local bond sales this year after a record 2024, as higher borrowing costs push companies to the sidelines. Most Read from Bloomberg “Last year was enormous — the conditions were pretty good, spreads were tight — so companies took the opportunity and sold local bonds even when they didn’t need to,” Felipe Wilberg, head of fixed income and structured products at Banco Itau BBA, said in an interview. “So this year many of them don’t need to issue bonds and can wait.” Companies issued 498.2 billion reais ($87…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100 might have hit fresh all-time highs earlier in February, but that doesn’t mean all its constituents are flying high. For a variety of reasons, there are some that could be perceived to be cheap shares right now. Yet just because a share price might look attractive, more research needs to be done to try and spot red flags. Here’s one that I feel investors should consider and also one I’m steering clear of. Changes are coming Let’s start with the one that I believe is cheap. I’m talking about BP (LSE:BP). I…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR.) shares have been a great investment. And looking ahead, they may continue to do well. However, I believe that plenty of other stocks will outperform Rolls-Royce over the next five years. Here’s a look at one such stock. Unlikely to soar? Rolls-Royce definitely has things going for it from an investment perspective right now. So it could still be worth considering for a portfolio today. For starters, it has exposure to several different growth industries including civil aviation, defence, and nuclear energy. The defence exposure, in particular, could be a key growth…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Nine hundred quid might not sound enough to start investing. But in today’s digital age, it’s easily enough to get the ball rolling.

Confused? Let me explain. A small stake in a real business When someone buys shares, say, of Diageo (LSE: DGE) they’re getting a stake in a real business. In Diageo’s case, that’s the global sales of…
