Peter Lynch, one of the greatest investors of all time, has said: “I can’t say enough about the fact that earnings are the key to success in investing in stocks. No matter what happens to the market, the earnings will determine the results.”I believe this. Therefore, as a long-term investor, I try to watch earnings growth and predict where it will be in five years or so. The idea is that if earnings go up, the stock price eventually will as well. The ups and downs along the way are just noise.However, I was recently reminded of just how patient…

Despite higher interest rates, savings accounts still don’t come close to delivering the long-term average return of the stock market. And with plenty of cheap stocks to capitalise on today, the opportunities to earn market-beating returns are plentiful. As interest rate cuts slowly emerge, 2025 could deliver a mini economic boom. After all, a lot of households and businesses are delaying projects and large expenses into next year. In other words, investors may be looking…
By Steve Holland, Andrea Shalal and Trevor Hunnicutt (Reuters) – Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump hit the campaign trail on Saturday, pressing their case with voters from Georgia to Pennsylvania who are already starting to cast ballots in the U.S. presidential election. Harris and Trump are essentially tied in the most competitive states and many Americans are already voting early by mail or in person, with just 17 days until the election. On Saturday, Harris will host a get-out-the-vote event in Detroit, Michigan, for the city’s first day of early voting, alongside Michigan-born rapper Lizzo. Then, she travels…
A strong yield doesn’t mean much if the underlying payment can’t be sustained. Finding stocks with healthy dividend yields isn’t too tough of a task. Finding above-average yields based on dividends that will be sustained into the foreseeable future, however, is a different story.

With that in mind, here’s a closer look at three ultra-high-yield stocks paying dividends that are indeed well protected, and should remain so for a long while. 1. British American Tobacco You likely recognize that the worldwide smoking-cessation…
Image source: Getty Images The idea of buying shares and trying to build wealth can be appealing. But a lot of people start buying shares only late in life, if at all. By delaying, they may miss out on all manner of opportunities over the decades. It does not take a lot of money to start buying shares. If I had never dipped my foot in the stock market and wanted to begin, with only a few hundred pounds to share, here are the steps I would take. 1.

By Gabriella Borter KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) – Rachel Sweet joined dozens of rally goers in a Kansas City, Missouri union headquarters parking lot on a warm October Saturday, holding a sign that read “Yes on 3” and joining a call-and-response chant: “When women’s rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!” Sweet, 33, could have been any of the union workers, faith leaders or abortion rights canvassers gathered in support of Amendment 3, a measure on the Missouri ballot in the Nov. 5 election that would enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution. But…
