Image source: Getty Images Gold soared to a record $3,578 per ounce earlier this week, driving up gold miners and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to the precious metal. This will leave some investors asking: is there a stock to consider buying to capitalise on the gold boom? Here’s one I think is worth a look at 345p. Benefitting from the trend Ramsdens Holdings (LSE:RFX) isn’t a gold producer, but the bull run in the yellow metal has been a gift for the AIM-listed pawnbroker. As gold prices surge higher, more customers are dusting off their jewellery boxes and flocking to…

Image source: Getty Images The last year has witnessed remarkable volatility in the Burberry (LSE: BRBY) share price. Bottoming at 556p in September 2024, the stock initially doubled in price only to retrace following the tariff-induced sell-off. However, with positive vibes around progress in the company’s strategy (known as Burberry Forward) lifting investor sentiment, the stock is now heading back into the FTSE 100. New strategy Back in July the company reported a lacklustre set of numbers for the first quarter of 2026. Comparable retail sales fell 1% and retail revenue fell 2%. But sometimes the numbers do not tell…
Image source: Getty Images Many people dream of retiring with a seven-figure investment pot. It might be more achievable than it sounds. By consistently investing just 10% of a salary into a Stocks and Shares ISA, the power of compounding can turn sustainable contributions into something far greater over the long run. Let’s assume a worker earns the UK’s average salary of around £35,000. Setting aside 10% means investing £3,500 each year, or just under £300 per month. Placed into a tax-efficient ISA and invested in a diversified portfolio of shares, that money could grow substantially. The variables Historically, the…
Image source: Getty Images The Rolls‑Royce (LSE: RR) share price has surged a phenomenal 122 % in the last year and become the darling of the FTSE 100. With shares in the aerospace and defence group continuing to climb, it made me wonder: have investors like me simply missed the boat? Recent performance There’s no doubt that the company’s shares have been on a tear in recent years. Its valuation has rocketed an impressive 123% higher to £10.70 as I write on 4 September. Aviation demand is rebounding, defence budgets are lifting, and the group continues to win crucial long-term contracts.…
The American Forest Foundation (AFF) has inked a landmark 15‑year agreement with Netflix, with the streaming giant committing to purchase verified carbon credits from AFF’s Fields & Forests (F&F) program — an ambitious initiative turning underused fields in the U.S. South into thriving, working forests. “Netflix’s partnership shows what’s possible when business and nature come together,” said John Ringer, Senior Director of Project Finance and Environmental Markets at AFF. “With the right investment and science, natural climate solutions can be both a powerful and credible tool to address our most pressing conservation challenges.

Image source: Getty Images Thanks to YouTube and social media, there’s been an explosion in the number of different passive income ideas out there. But for me, the best way to target a large and reliable second income is by investing using a Stocks and Shares ISA. Some of the wild and wonderful ideas I’ve seen recently include holiday lets, online courses, app design, and vending machines. I don’t know about you, but the hard work that’s involved in many of these schemes don’t exactly seem passive to me. It’s why I’ve sought to target a dividend income by buying…

To the editor: I’ve lived in the Ohio River Valley for 70 years, in both Jefferson and Harrison Counties. For decades the residents of the Ohio Valley have been paying for the aftermath of extractive industries. That “beautiful clean coal” Trump refers to took lives, and left a legacy of mine shafts and acid mine run-off. Taxpayers continue to foot the bills to plug orphan oil and gas wells, and clean-up un-reclaimed strip mined lands. Recently, the Ohio River Valley was targeted to become a Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Hub. This CCS Hub will consist of a series of…
