[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Burberry (LSE: BRBY) share price has been through hell in recent years. Now it’s back with a vengeance. I pored over this morning’s (24 January) Q3 results, which include the crucial Christmas trading period, wondering how investors would respond.

[ad_1] President Donald Trump has pledged cheaper prices and lower interest rates, but an economy transformed by the pandemic will make those promises difficult to keep.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The BP (LSE: BP) share price has been rising lately, and that’s good news for me because I’ve been busily loading up on its shares. I decided they were too cheap to ignore, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of around six. That’s a fraction of the average FTSE 100 P/E of just over 15 times. At the same time, BP shares offered an unmissable 6% yield coupled with plentiful share buybacks. Typically $3bn a quarter. The clincher is that the oil price was down in the dumps at around $70 a barrel. If it rose…
