The BP (LSE:BP.) share price is currently (28 June) around 15% lower than its 52-week high. Given that a barrel of Brent crude now costs $83 — compared to $95 in September 2023 — this doesn’t surprise me.

My favourite way to use the £20,000 ISA allowance is to invest in a spread of UK stocks that will pay me a high and rising passive income. London’s FTSE 100 index is home to some of the most generous dividend payers in the world. The average yield is 3.7%, but I can get double or even triple that, by ...

I didn’t make the most of my ISA last year and I regret it. Therefore, this year I’ve vouched to try and max out the tax-free £20,000 limit that every UK investor is given to the best of my ability. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject ...

Earning passive income from dividend shares doesn’t require huge amounts of cash. Investing £1,000 each month over a long time can result in a portfolio paying £32,000 per year after 30 years. That sort of outcome requires an average annual return of 4.5%. And while I think that’s highly achievable, ...
