There’s no denying Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY) is a popular share among UK private investors, and so far in 2024 the price has done well.

I’m building a balanced portfolio of FTSE dividend shares to generate the passive income I need to enjoy a comfortable retirement. But what if I could only buy one? In that case, I’d have to take a very different approach. A one-stock portfolio might offer some advantages. I could go for a super-high-yielder, ...

For many of us, there are two times each year when we think mostly about investing in a Stocks and Shares ISA. When we get close to the start of April and the end of the ISA year, there can be a last-minute panic to use as much of our ISA allowance as we can. But it’s too late to invest any of the money ...
