[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images It’s no secret that the Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR.) share price is flying right now. This year, it’s up about 90%. I think it may be able to keep rising in the near term too. Because I just spotted a really bullish insider transaction here. A large insider stock purchase I always keep an eye on insider stock purchases and sales (‘director dealing’). Because company insiders tend to have far more information on their businesses than the rest of us. If they’re buying a ton of company shares, it’s generally a bullish signal. After all, no…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The London Stock Exchange is home to many small-cap shares trading at cheap or reasonable valuations. In a sea of speculative AI and quantum computing stocks abroad, these homegrown firms offer a grounded alternative, in my opinion. Here are two AIM-listed shares that I think are set up to do well over the next few years. Ramsdens First up, we have Ramsdens (LSE:RFX). The £113m-cap company does pawnbroking, foreign currency exchange, and the buying and selling of jewellery both online and through 169 high street branches.   Ramsdens’ precious metals segment has been on fire…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images My investment strategy within my Stocks and Shares ISA is mainly centred on capturing some of the major structural trends shaping the global economy. One massive shift I’m bullish on over the next two decades is the rise of autonomous vehicles and robotaxis.  Today, most people in the UK still think the idea of cars driving themselves sounds more like sci-fi than reality. But this technology is already well-established in a handful of large US cities, where more than 10m robotaxi rides have now taken place.    Earlier this week, it was announced that Waymo…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images One way of earning a second income is by investing in a fund that aims to match the FTSE 100. That’s worked well over the last few years, with the UK index up 60% since 2020. Right now, the index comes with a 3.17% dividend yield. But I think passive income investors might be able to do even better by looking at some specific names. Dividend yields A 3.17% dividend yield means an investor needs a substantial portfolio to earn £1,500 a month in passive income. Specifically, the figure is £567,900.  That’s assuming the investment…

[ad_1] To the delight of some investors, and the frustration of others, Nvidia’s (NASDAQ: NVDA) share price has continued to charge higher this year. Currently, it’s up about 35%, and that’s after a small pullback in recent days. Analysts at HSBC believe the stock can go much higher in the medium term though. They just slapped a new price target on the stock and it’s miles above the current share price. A bullish view In a research note posted last week, HSBC tech analyst Frank Lee said that he expects the market for Nvidia’s artificial intelligence (AI) graphics processing units…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Investing in value shares has long been a popular strategy among contrarian investors. The FTSE market is full of companies trading near their all-time lows, but the challenge is separating genuine bargains from value traps. Here are three UK-listed shares currently sitting near their historic lows. Are they worth a closer look? Tullow Oil Tullow Oil (LSE: TLW) has had a rough few years, but it’s not out of the game yet. The Africa-focused driller recently appointed a new chief executive, signalling a fresh start for the business. It also strengthened its balance sheet by…

[ad_1] Cyclists love them. Drivers hate them (at least at first). And sometimes, they set off a firestorm of comments online that get a little … over the top.We’re talking about the so-called “protected bike intersection,” or as a few outraged drivers have memorably called it, an “anti-car labyrinth,” a “borderline anti-human” street treatment, and an “eco-fascist” “acid trip” of roadway infrastructure. So we especially love how Oh the Urbanity breaks down not just why those reactions are wrong, but why bike intersections are “the number one type of bike infrastructure that most cities are lacking.”It’s the perfect short video…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images So you’d like to turn some of your spare cash into passive income? Great – the stock market can be a great place to look and one of the best strategies involves investing a set amount each month.  Geopolitics and macroeconomics make it hard to tell exactly what future returns will be. But over the long term, the cash returned to shareholders by businesses has been ahead of other assets. Investing in the stock market Whether it’s the UK, the US, or anywhere else, the stock market can be a volatile place. Share prices can…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Figuring out which shares to consider buying isn’t always straightforward. But I’ve got a method I use for trying to find long-term opportunities, whether the stock market’s up or down. There are two parts to it. The first focuses on the business and its competitive position and the second involves trying to work out what price to buy it at.  Part 1: the business In my view, the most important thing when it comes to investing is the underlying business. And as a long-term investor, I’m looking for companies that can endure well into the…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images It’s no secret that finding the best stocks to buy can lead to impressive wealth creation. This is especially true when the stock market enters into free fall – a scary environment but one that’s filled with endless opportunities. Throughout 2025, both the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 have gone on to reach new record highs. That’s despite growing economic challenges and concerns alongside stubborn inflation. And consequently, some analysts have been warning of a potential correction or even crash. When that might happen remains a mystery. But as always, it’s the intelligent investors who…
