Image source: The Motley Fool Most investors are, or will become, familiar with the experience of owning a share that makes them queasy. They may think it has great potential, but something niggles them about it – sometimes something quite hard to pin down. I have been thinking about this lately and something billionaire Warren Buffett said is helping me as I do so. Simple but powerful That quote is: “When forced to choose, I will not trade even a night’s sleep for the chance of extra profits”. What does he mean by this? First notice that Buffett is imagining…

The post-pandemic surge in the Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR.) share price means the aerospace and defence group now (22 September) has a market-cap of £96.9bn. This makes it the fifth-most valuable company on the FTSE 100. But as impressive as this might be, Nvidia‘s worth over 30 times more. A lending hand However, I think the chipmaker’s boss, Jensen Huang, could help close the gap. He’s recently announced that his company will invest £2bn in artificial intelligence (AI) businesses in the UK. And the one thing that AI consumes in huge quantities is electricity.

Image source: Getty Images I find dividends paid by shares to be the best way of making passive income (money made with minimal effort). The only real effort on my part is selecting the shares initially. After that, I need only monitor the stocks’ performance periodically. A longtime fixture of my passive income portfolio is British American Tobacco (LSE: BATS). It delivers a dividend yield of 5.9% based on 2024’s 235.52p payout and the current £39.63 share price. It paid a lot more than this before a share price rise in December 2023 pushed the yield lower. This is because…
Image source: Getty Images Global stock markets have continued their charge higher in 2025, with the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 both sitting near record levels. While it’s been great news for portfolios, some analysts are beginning to worry that valuations – particularly among big US tech firms – look stretched. If sentiment changes, investors could see a sharp correction. That’s why I’ve been thinking about defensive stocks. Companies in sectors like utilities, consumer goods, and retail tend to have more predictable earnings because people need their products in good times and bad. They can provide stability when the stock…

Carbon as collateral represents a practical financial innovation that can influence the pace of sustainable adoption in India.

Image source: Getty Images Britons cannot get enough of Cash ISAs. In the 2023/24 tax year, the latest HMRC data highlights that savers have squirrelled away nearly £70bn into such tax-free products. This is a whopping £28bn increase on the previous year. Cash ISAs are a great way of saving for the long term. But with the interest rate on such products falling over the past year, is this really the best option for those looking to build a sizeable nest egg?

Only two UK shares feature in the top 50 of Trading 212’s ‘Hotlist’ — its league table of the most popular stocks among its 4.5m clients. Not surprisingly, top of the list is Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company. It’s currently (22 September) held by 613,752 of its clients. Closer to home But can you guess the two most popular UK shares? They are Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR) and BP (LSE:BP.), ranked 11th and 22nd, respectively. And given their popularity, should I buy either (or both) of them? The first thing to say is that following the crowd is never a…
