Image source: Getty Images When it comes to dividend stocks, investors looking for passive income have a lot of choices. But I think some of the best opportunities right now might be where other investors aren’t looking. That includes some of the less-well-covered corners of the UK stock market as well as over in the US. And there are a couple of examples that stand out to me. A 10% dividend yield Shares in Alternative Income REIT (LSE:AIRE) doesn’t get much attention from investors. But the stock comes with a 10% dividend yield and there’s a lot to like about…

But the potential returns for investors who can get it right are huge. At the moment, it seems as though every company on the stock market wants to be associated with the rise of AI. Investors, however, need to be able to separate the winners from the losers. Background: not all that glitters is AI gold For a lot of investors, one of the first names that comes to mind when it comes to AI is Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE). And there’s a…

Amtrak just put its new high-speed Acela II trains, a French design built in the U.S., into service on the Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston. That means if someone wants to travel, say, between Washington and Providence, RI, a distance of about 400 miles, it can be done with unrivaled safety, comfort, and speed in about six hours, on infrastructure that’s well over a century old. Parts of that run have been updated and modernized, permitting bursts of speed up to 160 mph with the new trains.

Image source: Getty Images Invinity Energy System (LSE: IES) has crashed from over 240p in 2020 down to penny share territory, by the time of writing, at just 20p. But it’s picked up 26% so far in 2025. Storming back? When a stock has fallen out of favour as badly as this one, it can take a number of things to get it back on track.

Image source: Getty Images It’s taken a while for the Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY) share price to reward patient investors. Years of low bank stock valuations are finally working out. We’re finally looking at a five-year gain of 180% for Lloyds. So is it time to sell up and take our profits? It depends on how we see the future shaping up. Past share price performance plays no part in that. Analysts are still bullish, with an attractive Buy consensus at the moment. But their price targets are diverging. And when opinions start splitting, that can suggest the risks…

Image source: Getty Images Not every parent can set aside a lump sum in a trust fund, or hand over second income-producing assets. But that doesn’t mean we can’t give our children a powerful financial head start. One of the simplest ways to do this is by harnessing the power of long-term investing, ideally from the moment they’re born. The most straightforward way to get going is by opening a Junior Stocks and Shares ISA at birth. This is really simple and requires very minimal time. Personally, I use Hargreaves Lansdown for my daughter’s ISA as I can process trades…

Image source: Getty Images Generating £20,000 a year in passive income might sound like a tough ask, but it’s achievable with consistency, time, and the power of compounding. I’m thankful to have been investing for some time, which means I’m well on my way to having a portfolio that could generate £20,000 annually. But what if an investor were starting from scratch? Well, starting this September, they could open a Stocks and Shares ISA with a reputable UK brokerage and invest £500 per month into a diversified portfolio of equities — not just UK stocks.
