[ad_1] The nation’s top teen competitors tackled everything from stocks and bonds to credit management and budgeting NEW YORK, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Over thirty teams from 28 states competed over the weekend for the top spot as the nation’s most financially savvy teenagers. Scripps Ranch High School from San Diego, California, emerged as the winner. What credit card transaction requires you to pay interest every day, including the first day of the transaction, until it is repaid in full? That’s just one of the questions—one that even some adults struggle to answer—that our teen champions tackled during the competition.…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The best time to buy shares is when other investors are looking elsewhere. And it’s fair to say that uncertainty around US trade policy has caused a shift in the stock market. Since the start of the year, the FTSE 100 is up 6% while the S&P 500 is roughly where it was at the start of January. So does that mean it’s time for investors to look at buying US shares? The S&P 500 doesn’t look cheap The MSCI US Index has underperformed the MSCI World Index since the start of the year. But…

[ad_1] Image source: Rolls-Royce plc Between 2020 and 2022, shareholders in Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR) saw the share price seesaw dramatically. Since then, though, there has been a turnaround in the share price that is the stuff of investor dreams. Today (3 June), Rolls-Royce shares hit a new all-time high. The price has grown 1,159% since October 2022. That sort of growth can immediately raise a red flag and send investors scurrying to reconsider valuation. But, as the FTSE 100 engineer’s incredible momentum shows no signs of slowing (the share is up 51% so far this year), might there still be…

[ad_1] Syracuse, N.Y. — In the aftermath of a contentious budget battle between Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh and the city’s lawmakers, a major municipal credit rating agency is giving the city a strong financial review. Moody’s Ratings on Friday issued an A1 bond rating with a stable outlook for the city. Among several factors, the agency cited Syracuse’s strong base of reserve funds, which became a point of division in this year’s budget process. “The A1 issuer rating reflects the city’s solid financial position with available fund balance of approximately 33% of revenue at the close of fiscal 2024 and…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Two FTSE 100 stocks that are booming in my Stocks and Shares ISA right now are BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce. They’re up 60% and 56%, respectively, so far this year. Yesterday (2 June), they got another boost as Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a £15bn fund to upgrade the military. He said the UK must be “ready” for war against Russia, pledging to hike defence spending to 3% of GDP — up from 2.3% today — by the next parliament. Whether or not this is realistic given the dire state of the UK’s finances is…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images When looking for a top dividend stock, I’ve developed the questionable habit of starting with those that boast the highest yields. That’s very tempting, especially today, when there are some brilliant income opportunities across the FTSE 100. But a high yield isn’t everything. Sometimes modest payouts hide a cracking track record of long-term dividend growth. One such stock is Bunzl (LSE: BNZL). The international distribution and services group has been on my watch list for years. I’ve even called it the FTSE 100’s greatest dark horse. It isn’t a household name. Bunzl provides essential non-sale…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty images This FTSE 100 share has been a painful holding for me in recent times. Its shares have fallen more than a fifth over the last 12 months. And more trouble could be coming as the global economy slows down. The share in question is Rio Tinto (LSE:RIO). But I have no plans to cut it loose, as I’m confident it will come back strongly over the long term. Here’s why. Market opportunity Owning mining shares can be a bumpy ride at the best of times. Even when commodity prices are strong, a company’s earnings can…
