[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Elon Musk is reportedly considering merging SpaceX with his Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock, or a tie-up with artificial intelligence firm xAI. According to reports, it’s just a feasibility study for now with previous messaging suggesting SpaceX would go public later this year — supposedly to coincide with a planetary alignment and the entrepreneur’s birthday. Tesla stock rose following these reports. There are plenty of possible explanations, but one stands out: many investors want exposure to SpaceX, and buying Tesla could now be one route to achieve that. And I can see how it’s tempting. Like others,…

[ad_1] Delivery workers are less likely to run red lights, ride on sidewalks and ride without helmets than their recreational and commuter counterparts — defying claims that they sow street chaos, according to a new observational study of more than 1,700 cyclists.The Hunter College study examined 155 intersections during a three week period in late 2025, when a team of 56 researchers observed individuals using anything that’s not a car to get around: bikes, e-bikes, mopeds and scooters. The researchers looked at the type of vehicles they used and how street design affected their behavior. A map of locations observed by Hunter…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Dividend stocks are usually meant to be dependable, rather than dazzling. But a 9% yield means that NewRiver REIT (LSE:NRR) might turn out to be both. The company leases and manages a portfolio of retail properties. And besides a high yield, there are a lot of reasons why the stock is worth a closer look at today’s prices.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Over the past couple of decades, Greggs (LSE: GRG) has baked up a tasty return for shareholders. Lately though, Greggs’ shares have lost their flavour. Take the past 12 months as an example. During that period, Greggs’ share price has fallen 23%. So an investor who put in £15,000 back then would now be sitting on a shareholding valued at around £11,550. There are dividends to take into account too. The current yield is 4.2%. A £15,000 investment in Greggs’ shares six months ago ought now to be earning close to £500 in dividends annually.…
[ad_1] Image source: The Motley Fool One of the questions plaguing the stock market over the past few months is whether we may be in an AI-fuelled stock bubble – and when it might burst. As someone who has lived through multiple bubbles over the course of decades, I reckon billionaire investor Warren Buffett has a lot of wisdom to offer in this regard. Don’t try to time the market Buffett has sat on large piles of cash at points, leading some to think he was trying to wait for a big enough market downturn to spend. But he is…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Lloyds‘ (LSE: LLOY) shares have had a great run over the last year, rising about 70%. But they’re still cheap on a price basis – currently they’re trading for around 105.5p, meaning that with £1,000 an investor could buy 947 shares (ignoring trading commissions). Is investing in Lloyds today a smart move though? Let’s discuss. The investment case for Lloyds today A year ago, there was a clear case for investing in Lloyds. For a start, the company looked undervalued. At the time, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio was only about 8.5 while the price-to-book ratio…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I don’t know anyone who would refuse a second income of £4,000 a month. And while all investment strategies carry some risk, I think the best way to target a return like this is to open an ISA and buy as many dividend shares as you can afford. One of the primary advantages of an ISA is that income can be earned tax-free. This means those dividend-paying stocks don’t attract the attention of HMRC. In turn, this can make them a more lucrative way to target a passive income compared to some other investment vehicles.…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 100 has had a strong year, up around 20% with dividends on top, but there are still plenty of cheap shares to be had. Bargain hunters shouldn’t feel they’ve missed their moment. So what’s out there right now? Using the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio as a starting point, I’ll start by highlighting JD Sports Fashion, which has a P/E of just 6.6, budget carrier easyJet (7.2) and British Airways owner International Consolidated Airlines Group, or IAG (8.7). I’ve highlighted all three several times recently, so I’m flagging five others that could be worth a…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I think there are some really interesting passive income opportunities in the stock market at the moment. But when I asked ChatGPT for some ideas about what it thought, the results surprised me. It offered me a number of relatively uninspiring ideas. Two of them though, stood out for entirely different reasons. Altria One of the names it suggested to me was tobacco firm Altria (NYSE:MO). On the face of it, that sort of makes sense – the stock has a 7% dividend yield and there aren’t many S&P 500 names in that category. The…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Chatter about a market wobble is growing louder amid a spike in geopolitical tensions. Of course, no one can predict what might cause a crash (if they could, it would take away the surprise). Therefore, the next best thing is to have a clear game plan for when (or if) a crash does happen. When it comes to passive income, here’s an approach investors can consider. Enhanced yield potential For all of the carnage that a stock market crash causes, there are actually some positives to take from it. One relates to the rise in…
