Mortgage rates took a small step higher today. According to Zillow, today’s 30-year fixed mortgage rate edged higher by four basis points to 6.72%, and the 15-year fixed rate also moved up four basis points to 5.96%. Israeli strikes on Iran rattled Wall Street Friday, leaving the stock and bond markets behind as investors piled into oil and gold. The 10-year Treasury yield gained more than 1.5% as prices fell. Thankfully, the weekend will give traders time to reset their strategies and prepare for next week’s uncertainty. The Federal Reserve will also be on the agenda. President Trump’s pressuring of…
Image source: The Motley Fool Billionaire Warren Buffett has had the sort of success as an investor that most of us could only dream of. But his journey as an investor has involved several simple stages. The first one is familiar to many of us as it is a common place to start. But it was the second stage, sidelining that initial approach in favour of a different one, that Warren Buffett reckons transformed his performance as an investor. Value-based investing Buffett started as what is commonly known as a ‘value investor’. In other words, he tried to find shares…

Image source: Getty Images Melrose Industries (LSE:MRO) may not command the same headlines as Rolls-Royce, but the FTSE 100 engineering group is quietly delivering a transformation story that’s hard to ignore. Its latest full-year results for 2024, coupled with forecasts and its own targets, suggest this could be a company to watch. Earnings set to surge For the year ended 31 December 2024, Melrose reported revenue of £3.5m, up from £3.4m million in 2023, representing 11% like-for-like sales growth. Meanwhile, operating profit surged to £540m, a 42% increase from 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) jumped to 26.4p, a…
When interest rate cuts do come, it won’t be a cure-all for today’s unaffordable housing market. Saifulasmee Chede/Getty Images/CNETIf you followed the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions last year, you might have been puzzled: The Fed’s three interest rate cuts didn’t translate into cheaper mortgages. In fact, the average rate for a 30-year fixed home loan has hovered around 6.8% since late fall. On Wednesday, the central bank is expected to extend a pause on interest rate cuts for a fourth consecutive time this year. Though mortgage rates could see some volatility, many economists expect them to stay somewhat flat until…
Image source: Getty Images One way some financially savvy people earn passive income is by regularly investing money into shares that pay dividends. I like that approach for a number of reasons. It is simple, allows someone to benefit from the hard work of successful companies, and can be adapted to each person’s own financial circumstances. For example, imagine someone starts doing this aged 21, with £60 a week. Here is what they could be earning by 35. The magic of compounding One approach would be to invest the money and receive any dividends along the way. Personally, I prefer…
Image source: Getty Images Over the long term, Greggs (LSE: GRG) has been a decent stock market performer. In the past five years, Greggs shares have moved up 18%. Over 10 years, the share price is up 69%. More recently, though, things have looked far less rosy – something I see as an opportunity. Poor one-year performance Take the past year as an example. During that time, Greggs shares have lost 31% of their value. So, someone who invested £10,000 in the bakery chain a year ago would now be nursing a paper loss of around £3,100. Ouch. Now, there…
Image source: Getty Images One of the misconceptions some people have about the stock market is that it is only for the rich. In fact, it is possible to start buying shares with just a few pounds. Here is how someone with no stock market experience could start investing with a spare £10 a week. Get ready to invest Before buying any shares, it is important to get set up in the right way. Partly that means having a way to invest. So an investor should set up something like a share-dealing account, Stocks and Shares ISA or trading app.…
