I myself am very bullish on the opportunity presented by SMRs too (small modular reactors). These are a kind of mini nuclear reactor with the technology the firm’s engineers have been perfecting since the 1950s. But the jewel in the…
As companies look for ways to offset their emissions of climate-warming pollution, forest carbon credits have emerged as a popular tool.

Image source: International Airline Group It has been a good few years for shareholders in British Airways’ parent company International Consolidated Airlines Group (LSE: IAG). The share price for IAG (as it’s known) is up 27% so far this year and has more than doubled over the past five years.

Is the share just taking a breather before potentially gaining more altitude, offering me a buying opportunity…
