Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell won’t do that, and so Trump has been clearly communicating his dissatisfaction with Powell. And while Trump says he’s “highly unlikely” to fire the man, that isn’t a definite no—and Powell’s term expires next May, so we’re bound…

Image source: Getty Images I think investing in UK dividend stocks is the best way for me to source a passive income. Here are three key principles I’ve personally adopted to make the most of this opportunity. 1. Eliminate taxes The first task on my investing journey was to open a Stocks and Shares ISA. After this, I also opened a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) to hold my share investments. Both of these products protect individuals from both capital gains tax and dividend income. These products provide me with a total annual allowance of £20,000 (the ISA) and a sum…
Image source: Getty Images I feel investors seeking the best FTSE 100 dividend shares to buy should seriously consider Coca-Cola HBC (LSE:CCH) today. It doesn’t have the largest dividend yields out there. For the current year, its yield is 2.5%, coming in below the Footsie average of 3.3%. But for dividend growth, I think it’s one of the greatest UK blue-chip shares on the market. Annual dividends have risen consistently since the company listed on the London stock market in 2013. This 12-year growth streak puts it in the top 20% of FTSE 100 sustained dividend growers. On top of…
Image source: Getty Images I’m looking for top UK shares that could rise in value over the remainder of the year and beyond. Here’s one top momentum stock I think ISA investors like me should seriously consider. New gold price spurt? Gold prices have stepped back from April’s record peaks above $3,500 per ounce. But the bullion market is beginning to bubble again as worries over global growth, rising inflation, and geopolitical challenges grow. The precious metal was last changing hands near $3,384 per ounce. And City analysts are starting to get excited again about where gold prices will reach…
Image source: Getty Images My Stocks and Shares ISA has more than doubled over the past five years. And I’m aiming for it to do that again in the coming years. I own a selection of funds and several individual shares that I’ve picked. And although the funds have performed well, it’s the individual stocks that have outperformed. Striking gold Investors looking to do the same could consider Caledonia Mining Group (LSE:CMCL). This is a gold exploration and mining company. And right now, it’s enjoying strong profitability due to a sustained high gold price. The company estimates profitability for 2025…
A reader asks, “I have a sum of Rs. 10 lakhs to invest for the long term. How should I invest this in equity mutual funds?”Please ask yourself these questions first.1: Will this amount be associated with a single goal or multiple goals? If it is the latter, for each goal what is the current asset allocation? If I invest Rs. 10 lakhs in equity what will be the new asset allocation? Is the new asset allocation desirable for each need?If Rs. 10 lakhs investment into equity will skew the asset allocation the wrong way (too much equity for the…
As millions of Americans rely on Social Security for their monthly income, new reports indicate the program’s finances are at a critical juncture. Here’s what every current or soon-to-be recipient should understand about the future of Social Security, the risks to your benefits, and what steps Congress could take to keep the program strong. The latest 2025 Social Security Trustees Report finds the program’s main reserve fund—the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund—will be depleted in 2033. That’s just eight years from now. At that point, unless Congress acts, the system will only have enough payroll tax revenue coming…
