Image source: Getty Images Taylor Wimpey (LSE:TW) is one of the few high-yield dividend stocks that I think passive income investors should consider. But the share price dived yesterday (9 October) for no apparent reason. At first sight, it’s hard to see why – there hasn’t been an update from the firm and analyst ratings are unchanged. But there is a reason and it’s one dividend investors should be familiar with. What happened At the end of Wednesday Taylor Wimpey’s share price was 105.2p. But the stock dropped overnight, opening yesterday at 100.6p. The fact the stock fell 4.6p gives…

Image source: Getty Images According to data from Bank of America, hedge fund managers think the most likely cause of a stock market crash is inflation.

Image source: Getty Images The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite index has shot up recently. Since its lows in April it has risen about 55%, and since the start of 2023 it has jumped about 125%. Could we be looking at a sharp pullback after these explosive gains? Let’s discuss. Astonishing returns Over the last three years, the Nasdaq has delivered annualised gains of around 30%. That’s an incredible return. Now, at the end of 1998, about 15 months before the dotcom crash, the index was showing similar kinds of returns. So, that’s a bit concerning. But here’s the thing.

Image source: Getty Images Since April, the Vodafone (LSE:VOD) share price has risen by around a third to 85p (at 9 October). Okay, nearly 40 FTSE 100 stocks have done better, but for shareholders like me, this is welcome news. If it could break through the 100p-barrier by the end of the year, it would be a welcome Christmas present. After all, the last time the stock was above £1 was in March 2023. A date for the diary A key milestone could be 11 November. This is when the telecoms group announces its half-year results for the six months…

Image source: Getty Images The moment a new sector gains ride-along interest, often it’s the underappreciated penny stocks that later steal the spotlight. These are typically firms that entered early, laid groundwork while others watched, and now stand ready if demand finally kicks in. With electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerating fast, lithium — a key component in battery chemistry — is primed for a surge. Many lithium shares are currently trading below what some analysts believe to be fair value, which could make them appealing to early investors. But volatility has pummeled this space in recent years, so any tilt…
