The Tesco (LSE:TSCO) share price slumped nearly 9% on 14 March when Asda said it was going to start cutting prices across a large number of its products. It appears to me — as is often the case when news like this first breaks — many shareholders over-reacted. Some appeared to panic as, in my opinion, irrational behaviour led to the large sell-off in the grocer’s stock. The result? An opportunity for new investors to come on board and acquire shares in, what I believe to be, a quality company at a discounted price. Well, that’s what I did, anyway.…

Image source: Getty Images One of the things I like about a Stocks and Shares ISA is that it allows me to build up passive income streams that hopefully can keep flowing year after year. That can be while sticking to proven blue-chip FTSE 100 businesses. As an example of this approach, here is how an investor with £20K could target a £1,500 annual passive income stream. Getting the right ISA The first move would be to select the optimal Stocks and Shares ISA. There are lots of options available on the market and each investor has their own particular…
Image source: Getty Images Buying growth stocks and holding them for the long term can pay off in a big way. Just look at the long-term returns generated by Amazon and Apple – over the last decade these shares are up around 930% and 620%, respectively. Here, I’m going to highlight two US-listed growth stocks that I believe have a ton of potential and are worth considering today. Over the next 10 years, I wouldn’t be surprised to see these stocks deliver the same kind of returns as Amazon and Apple have over the last decade. This industry is forecast…
Image source: Getty Images Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) continues to be a standout performer in the S&P 500 in 2025. So far, its shares are up 12% this year. That’s on the back of a 340% rise in 2024. Great enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI), in which the firm has been one of the leaders, has led this charge. Its shares peaked in the middle of February at $124.62. However, because of valuation fears, combined with broader uncertainty due to Trump’s tariffs, Palantir has seen its stock drop by 33%. For a company that’s been on a blast over the last couple…
Kelly Ortberg, CEO of Boeing, speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Jan. 28th, 2025.CNBCBoeing CEO Kelly Ortberg will testify in front of a Senate committee on Wednesday on the progress the plane maker has made on improving its manufacturing and safety standards after years of crises in both its commercial and defense units, including a 2024 near-catastrophic midair door plug blowout from one of its planes that left Boeing’s factory without key bolts installed.”Boeing has made serious missteps in recent years — and it is unacceptable. In response, we have made sweeping changes to the people, processes, and overall structure…
Image source: Aston Martin With an iconic brand and well-heeled customer base, Aston Martin (LSE: AML) might seem like it has a license to print money. If only! The company has been losing money hand over fist – and the Aston Martin share price is now 88% lower than it was five years ago. So, is the share price a bargain (or even a potential bargain) for an investor to consider? I’m giving this a wide berth In my opinion, it is not a bargain and I myself have no plans to invest. I could be wrong and it may…
Image source: Getty Images During the week ended 28 March, Aston Martin Lagonda (LSE:AML) was the worst-performing FTSE 250 stock. Its share price fell 14% after Donald Trump announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on all car imports into the US. This new tax is due to take effect from tomorrow (3 April). Admittedly, there’s never a good time to have to deal with tariffs but the timing for the group is particularly unfortunate given that it’s currently loss-making. Since 2 April 2024, its share price has tanked 58%. Over the past five years, it’s down 88%. A review…
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Stock and ETF investors, take note. Peter Schiff sees trouble ahead and he’s not mincing words. The renowned investor warns that the government and financial media are “making the same mistake again” as they did before the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Schiff wrote on X. The culprit this time? A toxic mix of tariffs, rising interest rates and misguided Federal Reserve policies that could unleash an economic firestorm. Don’t Miss: Schiff argues that tariffs won’t just impact trade – they’ll send shockwaves through…
Contributing to a SIPP (Self-Invested Personal Pension) is a great way to build wealth for retirement. With these pension accounts, one typically gets access to lots of different growth assets (stocks, funds, ETFs, etc), tax-free investing, and tax relief. The key, however, is to start contributing early. If someone starts contributing before 45, the results can be quite remarkable. Please note that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future. The content in this article is provided for information purposes only.

Image source: Getty Images UK shares have fared better than their US counterparts during the first quarter of 2025. Yet I’m still looking at the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250 for growth-with-value when it comes to stocks to buy in April. I have a few ideas in mind, but there are a couple that I’m set on in the absence of any major issue that might crop up. And both are firmly in the category of growth stocks. Bunzl When shares in Bunzl (LSE:BNZL) fell 14% in the first half of March, I started buying the stock for my…
