[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The UK stock market has been lethargic of late, but that’s throwing up some good value in the FTSE 100. There are several shares I’d love to buy but don’t have any spare funds. It’s one of the frustrations of being fully invested. Nevertheless, they’re on my watch list and seem to me to be rattling their cages and screaming to be bought! If spare funds become available in October, I’ll pile in with deeper research and give them some serious consideration. A defensive gem For example, I like the look of Coca-Cola HBC (LSE:…

[ad_1] By Nidal al-Mughrabi CAIRO (Reuters) – Palestinians fear the crisis in Lebanon is diverting the world’s attention from Gaza, where Israeli strikes killed dozens more people this week, and diminishing already dim prospects for a ceasefire a year into a war that has shattered the enclave. An escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah over the past two weeks has led to clashes between Israeli and Hezbollah forces inside Lebanon and fueled fears of a wider regional war. Both Israel and its Hamas foes in Gaza say the Lebanon conflict could help end the Gaza…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Lloyds (LSE:LLOY) shares have performed well for investors over the past 12 months, surging 34% at the time of writing. But if I had held shares in the bank for the last five years, I’d have seen a measly 10.6% growth — just above 2.1% per annum. Thankfully, there will have been dividends during that period. So, if I had invested £1,000 in Lloyds shares five years ago, today I’d have £1,160 plus around £227 in dividends — that’s including the dividends I’m expecting to receive this year. In other words, my total returns would…
