[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Having been an investor for nearly four decades, my investing strategy has evolved over time. Nowadays, I’m a big fan of two things. First, value investing, which my hero Warren Buffett defines as buying into great companies at fair prices. Second, I love collecting passive income in the form of share dividends. Fabulous FTSE 100 dividends As a value/dividend investor, I’ve found many of my top stocks in the UK’s main FTSE 100 index. Indeed, my family portfolio currently includes over 20 different Footsie and FTSE 250 shares. We bought many of these for their…

But when this happens to a billion-pound market cap stock, it’s usually for a big reason. So when I got alerted to a FTSE 250 company where the share price is up 112% in just six months, I decided to do more research.

So money invested in it (up to the maximum yearly allowance) can be withdrawn anytime in any amount with no tax penalties. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to…

When a firm trades at nine times earnings, it’s like investors are paying £9 for each £1 of yearly profit. This is the realm of cheap shares, basically. Such lows are often found in ‘dying’ sectors. Oil and tobacco are industries where you might expect to find such cheap valuations these days. Even though profits might be good now, the long-term prospects of such companies are often bleak. But sometimes a cheap P/E ratio can be a golden opportunity. Warren…
