As every investor would know, not every swing hits the sweet spot. But you have a problem if you face massive losses more than once in a while. So consider, for a moment, the misfortune of Sutro Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRO) investors who have held the stock for three years as it declined a whopping 80%. That would be a disturbing experience. We really feel for shareholders in this scenario. It’s a good reminder of the importance of diversification, and it’s worth keeping in mind there’s more to life than money, anyway.Now let’s have a look at the company’s fundamentals, and…

Eddie Jordan, the former owner of an F1 team, is reportedly interested in acquiring the London Irish rugby union club. This interest emerged shortly after he played a significant role in facilitating the high-profile transfer of Adrian Newey from Red Bull Racing to Aston Martin for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Jordan’s potential entry into rugby indicates a new direction in his career, as he has primarily focused on motorsport since selling his team in 2005 and transitioning into television punditry. Jordan has not been directly involved in Formula 1 since selling his team nearly two decades ago. Instead, he…

Norris attributed part of his success to setup changes made to his McLaren…

The exchange became particularly heated when Alonso labeled Lawson as “such an idiot” for his defensive driving while contesting for 16th place. Their discussion continued after the race, with Lawson recalling that Alonso had ominously stated he would “screw” him, an intention Lawson feels was realized when Alonso cut in front of him during qualifying. During the qualifying session, Alonso, who exited the pit lane behind Lawson, swiftly maneuvered around him. Lawson acknowledged this move to his…
Laurent Mekies has shared insights regarding the decision not to publicly announce that the Singapore Grand Prix would be Daniel Ricciardo’s final race with VCARB.

Image source: Getty Images One myth about the stock market is that it requires a lot of money to start investing. Not only is that untrue, but I actually see some benefits to beginning a stock market journey sooner and with a smaller amount than later, with more funds. We all hope to avoid beginner’s mistakes, but at least when they happen with only a small amount at stake they tend to be less financially painful. If I had under £1,000 and wanted to start investing in the stock market, here is how I would go about it. Question 1:…
