Image source: Getty Images The Nasdaq has wobbled, and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock is down 7% since its all-time high set earlier in August. Analysts are increasingly pointing to a split in the US stock market. There are high-flying AI-driven tech stocks. Then there’s all the rest, which observers have described as muddling along. Is change coming? Reuters reported Friday (22 August) that Nvidia has told companies contributing to its H20 chips — designed for the Chinese market — to suspend production. We don’t know why yet. Turning point Some signs suggest, at least to me, that we could be…

Image source: Getty Images Great Britain 1, America 0. We’re winning ladies and gents! In terms of 2025 stock market performance at least. After years of repeated and really quite large hammerings, the Union Jack is fighting back against the Stars and Stripes. With valuations over the pond looking frighteningly high, especially in the tech sector, investors are flocking to more reasonably valued stocks like those on the FTSE 100. I count myself among those who have reallocated capital because of this very trend. The knock-on effect is an 11% gain for the Footise this year with several months to…
The forest carbon credit market has emerged as a cornerstone of global climate mitigation strategies, promising to offset emissions through reforestation and afforestation. Yet, as investors and policymakers pivot toward nature-based solutions, a critical paradox looms: the albedo effect—the reflectivity of Earth’s surfaces—can undermine the climate efficacy of these projects. Recent scientific advancements and policy analyses reveal both the transformative potential and the hidden risks of forest carbon offset initiatives. For investors, understanding this duality is essential to navigating a market in flux. The Albedo Effect: A Double-Edged SwordAlbedo, the measure of how much sunlight a surface reflects, has long…
Image source: Getty Images The share price of Dr Martens (LSE:DOCS), the renowned FTSE 250 bootmaker, has risen 17.9% over the past four trading days. The catalyst appears to be a note from Peel Hunt stating that the group is “making headway”. The broker claims the investment case looks “increasingly positive”. It has set a new price target of 112p, which is around 27% higher than today’s (21 August) closing value. However, both remain well below the 370p offer price when the group listed in January 2021.

Key Takeaways Traders expect the S&P 500 to move about 0.8% in either direction through the end of the week, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on Friday likely to be a driving force behind that move. Stocks jumped more than 1% the day of last year’s Jackson Hole speech, when Powell signaled the Fed was ready to cut interest rates for the first time in 4 years. Analysts earlier this week expressed concern that investors were overly optimistic about the likelihood of a September rate cut, but expectations and stocks have drifted lower in recent days. Wall Street was…
Image source: Getty Images James Anderson knows a thing or two about growth investing in the stock market. From 2000 to 2022, he managed Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust, unearthing gems including ASML, Tesla, and Nvidia. Savvy picks like these propelled the trust into the FTSE 100 in 2017. Nowadays, he helps run Lingotto Innovation, a growth-focused strategy that similarly attempts to find massive stock market winners. In May, Anderson and co-manager Morgan Samet spoke to Barron’s. In this interview, they highlighted three stocks they’re very excited about over the next decade. EVs Let’s start with the most familiar, BYD (OTC:BYDD.F).…
