[ad_1] A reader says, ” First of all, I would like to thank you for your insightful videos, posts & articles. It gives us a different vision to look at various things like continuity of investment, retirement planning, etc. & that too in a “to the point”, transparent, honest manner”.“You have made several videos for long term investors, but I request you to provide some guidance for viewers like me who have very few years of service left, have not much of accumulated corpus & can’t solely depend on Debt investments like FDs as the corpus is too small.

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Celebrus Technologies (LSE:CLBS) is an AIM stock with operations spanning artificial intelligence (AI), data capture and analysis, and cybersecurity. While AI stocks in the US often command eye-watering valuations, with enterprise value-to-EBITDA (EV-to-EBITDA) multiples regularly north of 30 times, Celebrus trades with extraordinarily low multiples. Celebrus appears very cheap Celebrus currently trades at an EV-to-EBITDA ratio of just four times — that’s far below the sector average and its US-listed peers. For context, global AI and data giants like IBM, Accenture, and Infosys are valued at 15 to 18 times EV-to-EBITDA, while high-growth names in…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I think these FTSE 100 shares may be too cheap to ignore this month and are worth a much closer look. Here’s why. BAE Systems With defence budgets on the rise, major contractors like BAE Systems (LSE:BA.) are experiencing their best trading conditions for decades. BAE’s own order backlog rose £8bn over the course of 2024, to £77.8bn. And it’s expecting its hardware continues selling like the proverbial hotcakes — revenues are tipped to rise 7-9% and underlying EBIT by 8-10%, this year alone. Reflecting its bright outlook, BAE Systems’ shares have risen 31% in…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The National Grid (LSE: NG) share price is seen as one of the steadiest on the entire FTSE 100. Plenty of stocks can provide thrills, but the transmissions giant isn’t usually one of them. It’s there to deliver dependable dividend income, with a dash of growth over time. Many investors will have been surprised to see the share price fall 5% in May, in what was otherwise a positive month for UK blue-chips. Of 100 stocks, 82 made gains. National Grid was one of just 18 to fall. The drop wasn’t dramatic, but it stood…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images easyJet (LSE:EZJ) shares have achieved lift-off in recent weeks. At 574p per share, the FTSE 100 flyer has risen 15.7% in the past month alone, boosted by a falling oil price and improving hopes for the global economy. But airline shares are famously volatile investments. And in the case of easyJet, someone who invested a lump sum a decade ago would now be nursing a hefty loss. Since mid-2015, the budget airline’s dropped 57.6% in value from £13.55 per share. It means that £10,000 worth of the shares bought back then would now be worth…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Searching for the best growth shares to buy this month? Here are two from the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 I feel demand close attention. Babcock International City analysts expect Babcock International (LSE:BAB) to report robust full-year earnings growth later this month (25 June). A 55% bottom-line rise is predicted for the 12 months to March, driven by conditions across both its defence and civil operations. As an investor, I like this diversification as it reduces the impact of weakness in one or two areas at group level. The company’s operations include maintaining the UK’s…
[ad_1] Gold prices have been witnessing a northward journey in recent months, benefiting the stocks associated with yellow metal mining. On May 5, the spot gold price touched $3,415.57/ounce and it thereafter it stayed around $3,300/ounce. Stock prices of several gold miners have jumped year to date. The surge in gold price was driven by investor concerns over the U.S. government’s escalating debt, weak demand for long-term treasury bonds and a declining dollar. The northward journey of the yellow metal is likely to continue as the World Gold Council said that the gold mining industry is suffering from a scarcity…
[ad_1] Trump Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told concerned-but-credulous Democratic members of Congress earlier this month that his painstaking project-by-project review of Biden-era federal grants isn’t delaying or canceling anything — yet thousands of such grants remain in limbo as the secretary cuts staff and cracks down on DEI and environmental rules. Testifying on President Trump’s budget before the House Appropriations Committee on May 14 and Senate Appropriations Committee on May 15, Duffy repeatedly denied any downstream impacts of his efforts to retroactively apply Trump’s executive orders targeting “woke” transportation priorities to grants approved during the Biden administration, which experts and…
[ad_1] BENGALURU, India — One of the most carbon-polluting countries, India is also making huge efforts to harness the power of the sun, wind and other clean energy sources. Most of the electricity in India, the world’s most populous nation, still comes from coal, one of the dirtiest forms of energy. But coal’s dominance is dropping, going from 60% of installed power capacity 11 years ago to less than 50% today, according to India’s power ministry.At the same time, India had its largest ever addition of clean power in the fiscal year between April 2024 and April of this year,…
[ad_1] So-called bond vigilantes have returned and they might end up reshaping American retirement portfolios. What brought them back? The sustained return of higher levels of inflation and the U.S. government’s increasingly rapid accumulation of debt. With more debt likely on the way, 30-year Treasury yields have poked above 5% to the highest level since 2023. These market forces could already be altering how you save for retirement over the next decade. Key Takeaways Investors are driving up long-term interest rates by selling government debt and shunning new issuances, creating both opportunities and risks for retirement savers. Retirement savers may…
