Image source: Getty Images For anyone targeting an early retirement, a Stocks and Shares ISA is worth considering. Unlike a pension, there’s no minimum age at which someone can start collecting income from their assets. According to the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association, a single person needs £31,700 a year to retire comfortably. But how much does someone need to invest to earn that kind of income?

Image source: Getty Images A Stocks and Shares ISA currently has an annual contribution limit of £20,000 per annum. However, it’s not always realistic for an investor to max out the allocation each year, for a variety of reasons. Yet, over time, an ISA portfolio can be built up to help achieve goals, such as generating a second income. Here are some of the numbers I crunched based on a £50,000 portfolio size. Setting realistic targets To begin with, a £50,000 ISA can’t be achieved overnight. Even if an investor could afford to invest the full £20,000 each year, it…

When it comes to setting investors’ pulses racing, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) often seems to do the job. Tesla stock can move around a lot for such a big company – it is down 28% since December, for example. But, over the past year, it has moved up 52%. Over the past decade, it has moved up 1,985%. That sort of performance certainly grabs my attention as an investor! Investing based on business fundamentals, not momentum So, given Tesla stock’s strong recent momentum, could it make sense for me to add it to my portfolio? Momentum is never guaranteed to last.…
Visualization that’s part of an animation of a black widow pulsar burning its companion. Credit: NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center / Cruz deWilde Science advances through data that don’t fit our current understanding. At least that was Thomas Kuhn’s theory in his famous On the Structure of Scientific Revolutions. So scientists should welcome new data that challenges their understanding of how the universe works. A recent paper, available on the arXiv preprint server, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) might just have found some data that can do that. It looked at an exoplanet around a millisecond pulsar…
Credits are not to be confused with biodiversity offsets or habitat banks. Though similar, these are types of environmental regulation that have been around since the 1970s. Examples include England’s biodiversity net gain and mitigation banks in the US. A company may be required to purchase offsets to compensate for any unavoidable ecological damage caused by a development, such as a mine or hydropower dam. The money pays for the restoration of a similar ecosystem elsewhere. By contrast, biodiversity credits are part of an unregulated international market. Anyone can sell them and anyone can buy them – via online marketplaces, brokers or directly from the project developer.…
In little over two months, NIO (NYSE: NIO) has seen its share price soar by almost two thirds. That still leaves NIO stock 68% down over the past five years. Still, the stunning performance of the share over the past few months has caught my eye. Some promising signs of long-term potential NIO is smaller than electric vehicle rivals like Tesla and BYD, but it is no minnow. In the second quarter, it delivered over 72,000 vehicles. That is 26% higher than at the same period last year. However, vehicle sales revenues in the quarter showed year-on-year growth of just…
