Yesterday saw the FTSE 100 climb to record highs, closing on 8,023p. I reckon this is good news, as it shows investor appetite and sentiment could be on the up. With that in mind, a fair few stocks could benefit nicely. Two picks on my radar at present, that I feel could be good buys ahead of any potential ...

Diversification is the cornerstone of my passive income investment strategy. Since dividends aren’t guaranteed, I spread my stock market positions across a variety of companies and sectors. Accordingly, I hope to secure a steady flow of dividend payouts even if some firms that I invest in encounter financial ...

History isn’t always a reliable guide to the future. But based on past performance, trying to build a passive income with a balanced portfolio of FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 stocks could be a great idea today. Here’s how I’d invest a lump sum to build a healthy nest egg for retirement. Cut out the taxman The ...

There are many ways to generate passive income in today’s digital world. My own preference is to invest in UK stocks that pay dividends into my Stocks and Shares ISA. At the moment, I have around 20 dividend-paying stocks in my portfolio. This diversification helps me sleep better at night because no ...

With a fresh £20,000 contribution limit and the UK market continuing to look very cheap relative to elsewhere in the world, I reckon now is as good a time as any to go hunting down stocks for my ISA. As I won’t pay any tax on the cash I receive, I think this is particularly the case if generating passive ...

The last time I covered BAE Systems (LSE: BA.) shares was in January. At the time, I said that the shares had the potential to deliver both growth and income for investors. Fast forward to today, and the share price is sitting about 10% higher than it was back then, which is a decent return in just a ...

I’d buy FTSE 250 defence firm QinetiQ (LSE: QQ) today if I was starting on my investment journey. I think it has all the qualities that make a great growth stock over time. It also pays a dividend, which currently yields 2.2%. That’s a bonus, in my view. As it is, I turned 50 a while back, so am focusing ...

As the FTSE 100 draws ever closer to a new all-time high, I’m considering three promising stocks to buy. All three have received a buy rating from major broker UBS in the past month or so, and I think they all have long-term growth potential. The stock that just won’t stop Rolls-Royce Holdings (LSE:RR.) ...

They are National Grid (LSE: NG.), Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY), and BAE Systems (LSE: BA.). Here’s why I’ve ...

Dividends are essentially a share of a company’s profits. But there are also various other ways a company might share profits with investors. For instance, it might reinvest cash to grow the business. Some buy back their own shares to reduce the supply in circulation. This tends to result in a higher ...
