Image source: Getty Images The S&P 500 continues to trade at a pretty lofty multiple, with more warnings emerging from investing experts that volatility could soon emerge. For the most part, the bearish predictions are calling for a correction rather than a full-blown crash. But the latter isn’t entirely out of the question if consumers suddenly get hit with a wave of tariff-related price hikes. So let’s assume the worst and say a US stock market crash is coming. So which stocks might protect an investment portfolio? 3 ‘crash-proof’ investments? No stock is ever truly crash-proof. Even if the underlying…
Image source: Getty Images Prices of both precious and industrial metals are surging right now. Here are two top FTSE 100 stocks to consider in the current climate. Bullion boom Gold prices have soared to new record highs of around $3,580 per ounce in recent days. I’m confident they can continue rising as growing economic- and political-related concerns fuel precious metal demand from retail investors. Gold prices have also doubled in less than three years.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) shares have been volatile in 2025, but this week brought signs of recovery. The stock gained ground on Wednesday (3 September) and into early Thursday trading after the company reported strong sales momentum in key international markets. The $1trn automotive and robotics giant delivered 83,192 vehicles in August — a 22.5% jump from July and its best wholesale month of the year. A particular highlight was Turkey, where sales of the Model Y surged to 8,730 units, an 86% increase from the prior month. But the picture was less rosy elsewhere. Tesla continues to see softer sales in…
Image source: Getty Images With the US market showing signs of weakness, I’ve been considering snapping up some cheap shares before it recovers. Valuations across the S&P 500 have been stretched for some time, so I went looking for stocks that might be trading at more attractive levels. To find potential bargains, I screened the index for companies with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio below 10. That gave me a decent shortlist but not every stock with a low valuation is worth holding. Forecast earnings can be overly optimistic and the market may have good reason to price a company…

But investors who spotted the growth potential of Endeavour Mining (LSE:EDV) at the start of 2025 are likely pretty pleased. The West African gold mining enterprise has been successfully ramping up production of the shiny yellow metal. And when paired with rising gold prices, the group achieved record-breaking free cash flow that has sent the stock flying by 75% since the start of the year. Considering the FTSE 100 is only up by around 11% since 2025 kicked off, Endeavour shareholders have massively outperformed the…
