One income is good, but a second income brings with it a broader range of options in life. A new house perhaps, more exotic holidays, or an earlier and more comfortable retirement. The best way I have found of generating a high second income is by investing in shares that pay me dividends regularly. ...

The FTSE 100‘s a great place for investors to find top-quality income shares. Here are four high-dividend stocks I think are worth a close look today. Taylor Wimpey The housing market isn’t out of the woods just yet. But a steady stream of upbeat industry news suggests homebuyer demand is back in recovery ...

Two income stocks I reckon investors should seriously consider buying for dividends and growth are HSBC (LSE: HSBA) and Aviva (LSE: AV.). Here’s why! HSBC As one of the world’s biggest banks, HSBC is a no-brainer buy in my eyes. Despite economic turbulence hampering financial services stocks, HSBC shares ...

I sold Lloyds (LSE: LLOY) shares recently and then bought HSBC (LSE: HSBA) stock for two key reasons. First, Lloyds trades too much like a ‘penny share’ for my liking. Strictly speaking, it isn’t one, as although it’s priced at less than £1, its market capitalisation is big. But at just 53p a share, ...

HSBC (LSE: HSBA) shares have more than doubled since bottoming out at 283p during the dark pandemic days of 2020. However, they’re still down 2% over five years. That’s worse than the return from the FTSE 100, which has hardly been setting the world on fire. Of course, these comparisons don’t include ...

I’m building a portfolio of FTSE 100 dividend income stocks to top up my State Pension when I finally retire. That day is still more than a decade away, but if I was calling it quits tomorrow, I’d buy these three sares for long-term dividends and growth. I recently bought a stake in pharmaceutical company ...

For me, the Stocks and Shares ISA is an incredibly powerful wealth-building tool. I can regularly contribute savings towards the annual £20k allowance and let my investments grow free from tax. My commitment is to invest whatever I can afford each month into stocks. However, if I had 20 grand to invest ...

Right now, there are many ways of earning passive income. But my favourite method continues to be from shares. More specifically, dividend shares. To target over a £1,000 of regular additional income, it would need some initial efforts. After which, my input could be kept to a minimum. To make this work, ...

The FTSE 100 is packed with brilliant value shares right now. The UK’s premier share index has recovered ground from the lows of late 2022. But many top stocks continue to trade well below their true value. Take HSBC Holdings (LSE:HSBA) for instance. In my opinion it’s the Footsie’s greatest banking ...

I reckon it’s entirely possible to build a second income stream by investing just £5 a day. Adding £5 up over days, weeks, months, and years could equate to a nice pot of money. Plus, I’d be making my money work by investing in dividend-paying FTSE stocks. Let me explain how I could achieve this if I ...

Every month I invest in high-yield dividend stocks that I hope will pay me rising passive income over time. Here are two of my favourites that I’ll consider snapping up before April with spare cash. Clean energy First up we have The Renewables Infrastructure Group (LSE: TRIG), commonly known as TRIG. ...

The Stocks and Shares ISA can be an excellent product to help investors build wealth. The annual allowance of £20,000 is enough for almost all of us. And the taxman doesn’t take a penny of any gains we make. One downside, ISA users are unable to roll over any unused allowances to future tax years. So ...

Investing in FTSE 100 shares can be a great way to make a second income. The long-term dividend yield on these blue-chip shares sits at around 4%. This is far above what the average UK savings rate has been in recent decades. And it has the potential to eventually provide me with a healthy monthly income. ...

I’m once again evaluating potential FTSE shares to add to my dividend portfolio. Shares that pay a reliable dividend help to ensure my portfolio provides consistent returns. However, I need to look at more than just the dividend yield to know which shares make the best additions. Today I’m considering ...

As a shareholder in HSBC (LSE:HSBA) I’m keen to know what the bank’s dividend forecast is up to 2026, and how much passive income I could generate over the period. Seeing into the future According to the 16 analysts covering the stock, the dividend per share over the next three years will be $0.60 (2024), ...

The FTSE 100 offers investors a global smorgasbord of high-quality dividend stocks. So much so in fact that I sometimes find it difficult to choose from the variety offering me attractive passive income. However, there’s one cheap UK bank stock that stands out to me right now. An Asia-focused bank HSBC ...

I’ve been looking at how I might be able to generate passive income in every month of the year. The six FTSE 100 stocks I’ve chosen for this hypothetical exercise could give me an annual return over twice the average for the index as a whole. To keep things simple, I’m going to assume that any dividends ...

HSBC’s (LSE: HSBA) share price has lost 11% from its 1 August 12-month high of £6.61. I’m selling one of my two UK bank holdings, and I think I’ll replace it with this one. Why do I want two UK banks in my portfolio? It’s true that net interest margins (NIMs) look set to fall this year, as declining ...
