[ad_1] Of all the UK shares on the FTSE All-Share index, Reach (LSE:RCH) is in the top 25 of dividend payers. And with a yield close to 10%, the newspaper group’s probably on the radar of income investors. Buyer beware However, as a general rule, stocks offering a return in excess of twice the 10-year gilt rate (4.65% at 30 May) should be treated with caution. It stands to reason that shareholders will demand a higher return on an investment that’s perceived to carry more risk. And with a portfolio comprising many famous newspaper brands, including The Mirror, Express, and…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Investing in equities with a Stocks and Shares ISA isn’t for everyone. Despite their superior average returns, some people prefer the convenience, the guaranteed return, and the safety that products like the Cash ISA provide. Share investing doesn’t necessarily mean individuals need to take on excessive risk however. The multitude of investment trusts and funds available today means investors can target life-changing returns in a shares ISA without having to endure significant risk. Here’s what I just bought Take the example of the L&G Cyber Security ETF (LSE:ISPY). This is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) I…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Over the last 10 calendar years, the FTSE 100 index has delivered a return of about 6.2% a year (including dividends). Relative to the returns from other major stock market indexes, that’s not so flash. There are plenty of stocks within the index that have generated far higher returns (which highlights the power of stock picking). Here’s a look at two that have returned more than 15% a year over the last decade. A company with a cult-like following Let’s start with Games Workshop (LSE: GAW) because the performance here have been phenomenal. Over the…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images There are plenty of US stocks that I’d suggest are exciting, but not all of them look that cheap right now. One I rather like, despite recent gains, is Pinterest (NYSE:PINS). It may not sound like a world-beating tech stock, such as Nvidia, but its valuation metrics and development in artificial intelligence (AI) definitely make it an exciting proposition. Let’s take a closer look. The world of Pinterest Pinterest is experiencing strong growth in 2025 with first-quarter revenue up 16% to $855m and monthly active users reaching a record 570m. The company’s rapid adoption of…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images FTSE 250 retailer WH Smith (LSE:SMWH) is set to issue a trading update on Wednesday (4 June). And I’ll be watching very carefully when it does.  The company has just been through a transformation by agreeing to sell its high street stores. So I’m looking to see how things are shaping up.  Transformation Until recently, WH Smith’s business had two parts to it. One involved stores that are based on the high street and in shopping centres and the other units in travel and other locations like railway stations, airports and even hospitals.  The high…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Iconic FTSE 100 British retailer Marks and Spencer (LSE: MKS) is down 11% from its 22 April one-year high of £4.17. At that point it disclosed it had been the victim of a cyberattack affecting its clothing and food operations. It expects the disruption to continue throughout June and into July. Additionally, it forecasts that the attack will have an impact of around £300m on its fiscal year 2025/26 operating profit. To me, this scenario fits perfectly into the short-term risk/long-term reward investment category. Marks and Spencer is unsurprisingly now busy bolstering its online and…

[ad_1] Image source: Rolls-Royce plc Rolls-Royce’s (LSE: RR) share price has more than doubled from its 25 July 12-month low of £4.23. Such a price rise raises the natural question for investors of whether it can go any higher? As a former investment bank trader and longtime private investor, I believe the answer to this depends on another question. And this is whether there is any value left in the stock. Value is not the same as price, despite the two often being used synonymously. And it is in the difference between them that big, long-term profits can be made,…
