Image source: Getty Images The silver price has been on a rocketship higher. It’s up 85% so far this year, more than gold, as investors look to snap up the precious metal. In the stock market, there are FTSE shares that have a reasonable correlation to the price of silver. Here are a couple that investors might want to consider. A key name If we’re talking silver, it’s hard not to refer to Fresnillo (LSE:FRES). It’s the largest primary silver producer listed in London and part of the FTSE 100. The stock is up a whopping 290% in the last…

Image source: Getty Images Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has jumped 35% over the past year. This is impressive, especially considering it has a market cap in the trillions of dollars. Yet recent events and a high valuation could make it hard for the share price to continue pushing higher in the coming months. Here’s why I’m flipping to being cautious with my outlook. Geopolitical risk A factor that has suddenly come back in the headlines is US and China trade friction. Last Friday, President Trump threatened 100% tariffs on China. Although he softened his comments at the weekend, there are fears…
Image source: Getty Images Dividend stocks are an excellent way for investors to generate a second income. Of course, companies don’t have to pay out dividends. But by picking stocks with a good track record and looking for dividend yields above the index average, I think it’s possible to achieve an income over time that equates to the average UK mortgage payment. Making the numbers work For reference, data shows the current average mortgage payment is £1,253. That provides a benchmark of the size of income that ideally needs to be generated. In order to work out the size of…

Rolls-Royce’s (LSE: RR) share price is up 110% over the past 12 months. Since Tufan Erginbilgic took over as its CEO on 1 January 2023, it has risen 1,049%. Unsurprisingly, some investors wonder whether the stock can rise much further. However, crucially in this context, price and value are not the same thing. Price is whatever the market will pay for a share at any point. But value is what the stock is truly worth, based on underlying business fundamentals. So, the key consideration now is not the price at which the stock is trading. Rather, it is whether there…

Image source: Getty Images With the FTSE 100 near an all-time high, many investors might legitimately be starting to ask themselves, where are all the bargains! But what if I said that the index’s best-performing stock in 2025 could still be a bargain. Would you think I was having a laugh? Silver When gold hit $4,000 last week, it was all over the headlines. Fast-forward a few days and despite silver hitting $50, there is very little coverage. In the last 50 years, silver has only ever twice breached that magical number. Today, at nearly $51, it is at an…
Image source: Getty Images Whenever I check out the Tesco (LSE: TSCO) share price, I’m impressed. The UK’s biggest grocer has doubled in value over the last five years. That’s the kind of return I’d hope for from a nippy growth stock, not a FTSE 100 blue chip. It wasn’t always this way. A decade ago, Tesco’s global ambitions came unstuck under former boss Philip Clarke, whose tenure ended in 2014 amid profit warnings and accounting issues. German discounters Aldi and Lidl were devouring market share. Many thought Britain’s biggest grocer had lost its crown for good. Yet, Tesco fought back. Today,…
Image source: Getty Images My passive income portfolio is comprised of FTSE stocks that share three key qualities. First, they all generated a dividend yield of at least 7% when I bought them. This is more than 2% above the current ‘risk-free rate’ (the 10-year UK government bond yield). I see this as compensation for taking on the additional risk of investing in shares. Second, they were all at least 30% underpriced to their ‘fair value’ at the time of purchase. To clarify: price is whatever the market will pay for a stock, while value reflects underlying business fundamentals. Exploiting…
Image source: Getty Images National Grid’s (LSE: NG) share price is trading within a whisker of its 23 April 12-month traded high of £11.03. Its current level marks a 20% rise from its 14 January one-year traded low of £9.09. That said, I believe the stock could still hold significant value, based on my experience as a former senior investment bank trader and longtime private investor. So, I took a deep look at the core business and ran the key numbers to see what I could find. The core business outlook National Grid retains the monopoly for electricity transmission in…
