[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Successful investor Jim Mellon is always a voice worth listening to. Recently, he appeared on The Master Investor Podcast, where he made some interesting points about the stock market. Let’s take a look at a couple of them. AI bubble The first thing worth mentioning is that Mellon isn’t buying hype around artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. He thinks the AI boom is essentially a bubble that’s destined to pop, saying that the “great bust…will inevitably come in AI in the relatively near future. We don’t know when, but sure enough, there will be a bust“.…

[ad_1] NuScale Power Holdings’ (NYSE: SMR) share price surged after the U.S. made a historic commitment to use its small modular reactor (SMR) technology. The company’s clean-energy credentials are now in the spotlight. This matters not only for investors but also for governments and industry leaders who aim for net-zero goals. John Hopkins, NuScale’s President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked: “We are honored that ENTRA1 has selected NuScale’s U.S. NRC-approved SMR technology for this historic deployment in delivering power to the TVA region…Together, we are ready as partners to meet America’s surging demand for reliable, carbon-free baseload power—powering AI data…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images FTSE 250 high-tech defence systems firm QinetiQ (LSE: QQ) is down 18% from its 6 June £5.78 traded high. Much of this decline has followed announcements of various peace talks connected to the Russia-Ukraine war. The markets appear to believe that these may lead to a lasting resolution of the conflict. Whether this transpires or not, I believe in the old military adage that the best way to ensure peace is to prepare for conflict. So apparently does NATO. At June’s 2025 Summit, members agreed to increase their annual defence spending to 5% of gross…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images It may come as a surprise to some investors that year to date, the FTSE 100 has outperformed the S&P 500. Is it a blip, or is there something more fundamental at play here? American exceptionalism Since the global financial crash of 2008, US stocks have sometimes seemed to be the only place to be for those seeking growth. Over the past 15 years the S&P 500 has returned 642%, compared to only 136% for the FTSE 100. Yes, the latter index has returned significantly more in dividends during that timeframe, but that fact hardly…

[ad_1] Lebanon’s energy sector suffers from fuel dependency, grid inefficiencies, and delayed reforms, despite legal progress through Laws 462/2002 and 318/2023. To address these challenges and enable a sustainable transition, this brief proposes standardized energy wheeling tariffs, blockchain-enabled peer-to-peer trading, and integration with carbon markets. Priority actions include cost-reflective tariffs and regulatory sandboxes to attract investment, improve resilience, and reduce reliance on diesel.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Lloyds’ (LSE: LLOY) share price has dropped 6% from its 22 August 12-month traded high. I think part of this came from profit-taking. The other part followed a widely publicised proposal for the UK government to introduce a new tax on banking profits. More specifically, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said the levy was needed to offset the Bank of England’s quantitative easing programme. This provided government lending support for banks in the aftermath of the 2007/08 financial crisis. The IPPR says it is still costing taxpayers £22bn a year. The Treasury said it…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images British housebuilder Taylor Wimpey‘s (LSE: TW.) share price has tanked recently. As a result, the dividend yield on the stock has climbed to around 10%. Should investors consider buying the shares for this monster yield? Or is this a ‘dividend trap’? Let’s discuss. Is this yield for real? In the investment world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. So with stock now sporting a yield that’s more than twice the FTSE 100 average, we need to look at the risks here. Looking at the financials, the dividend coverage ratio (the ratio of earnings…
