Image source: Getty Images Having a sufficiently large pension pot is critical to living a comfortable retirement. But how much money do individuals actually need? The answer to this question depends largely on personal circumstances and living standards. But according to Pensions UK, a comfortable retirement in Britain requires an annual pension income of £43,900 a year for an individual, or £60,600 for couples. Needless to say, that’s considerably more than what the roughly £12,000 the UK State Pension currently offers. As such, it’s crucial to build some personal retirement wealth. And that’s a task best suited to long-term investing.…

Take Harbour Energy (LSE:HBR) as a perfect example. The oil & gas enterprise has been boosting shareholder payouts since 2021. And at today’s share price, investing just £500 is enough to snap up 251 shares, generating a passive income of £50.70 in the process. So should investors be considering this business for their own portfolios? Let’s take a closer look. Reasons to consider buying Beyond the lucrative-looking dividend yield, there’s a lot…
Image source: Getty Images UK shares have been on a fantastic winning streak in 2025. The FTSE 100 has climbed by over 10% reaching a new record high, with the FTSE 250 not too far behind. Yet despite delivering robust growth, plenty of stocks are still trading at beaten-down valuations. And the same is true for quality businesses dealing with short-term headwinds. That certainly seems to be the case for three stocks on my radar: Melrose Industries, Premier Foods, and Somero Enterprises (LSE:SOM). All three have failed to keep up with the wider market in 2025 despite robust underlying fundamentals.…

The Federal Reserve just left its benchmark rate frozen between 4.25% and 4.5% for a fifth straight meeting, at its July 30 vote. In a rare occurrence, Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller departed from their colleagues and voted for a 25-basis-point trim, the first time two board members have broken ranks in the past three decades. Cryptocurrency investors love to read the Fed’s tea leaves. Cheap money buoyed past bull runs, and tight money cooled them — or so the narrative goes. Yet the digital asset market of 2025 is riding a different set of engines, many of which…
