Image source: Getty Images Despite all the recent stock market turmoil, the allure of penny stocks remains as strong as ever. Investing in these tiny enterprises comes paired with extraordinary risk and volatility. Yet all it takes is one success story to send a portfolio skyrocketing. Almost all penny stocks promise the world in the form of explosive growth potential. Yet, sadly, few ever actually deliver on such promises. After all, analysing business financials rarely leaves a good impression as most of these firms are pre-revenue, let alone pre-profit. Instead, investment decision-making often has to be made based on long-term…

By Anna Mehler Paperny TORONTO (Reuters) -Twice since July 2022, Moninder Singh, spokesperson for a Sikh advocacy group in Canada’s British Columbia province, has had police come to his door in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey. Twice, Singh said, they warned him that he faced an imminent risk of assassination, though they did not say from whom. These warnings forced the 43-year-old Canadian to stay away from his home for months at a time, he said – away from his wife and children, ages 15 and 11. “India has gotten away with so much over the years and under Modi’s…
“There can be few fields of human endeavor in which history counts for so little as in the world of finance. Past experience, to the extent that it is part of memory at all, is dismissed as the primitive refuge of those who do not have the insight to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present.” — John Kenneth Galbraith After four years of painstaking research, writing, and editing, I am happy to report Investing in U.S. Financial History is now available online and in select bookstores in the United States and across the world.

Image source: Getty Images Wouldn’t it be lovely to make some passive income in 2024? Considering the ongoing cost- of-living crisis, I’d certainly say so. And even an initial small stream of money would be welcome for most households. The good news is most can achieve just that! The latest data from the Office for National Statistics reveals that the median monthly household savings is £180. And that’s more than enough to kick-start an income-producing investment portfolio. Investing in UK shares obviously comes with risk. Not every stock delivers impressive returns, and a badly built portfolio can actually destroy wealth…
MINNEAPOLIS — Well, well, well, look what happens when owners spend a little money. The 2024 WNBA Finals have set up a decisive Game 5 on Sunday in New York City, after the Minnesota Lynx, with their backs against the wall, held on for a chaotic 82-80 win Friday night in the Target Center. It is the first time since 2019 that the Finals will go to the full five games.It’s fitting that in a series where three of four games have been decided by a single possession — Game 2 was the only outlier, with the Liberty winning by 14 —…
Image source: Getty Images Seeking to build up an investment pot that pays passive income, I’d combine two of my favourite things. One is the UK stock market, which has beaten other forms of investment for more than a century. Those planning to invest for less than a decade would face more risk than I’d be happy with. But it needs time and patience to build a solid second income, so I don’t see that as too much of a hardship. Tax protection My other favourite thing is a Stocks and Shares ISA. With one of those, we can invest…
Image source: Getty Images Thanks to the growth of online trading platforms, you don’t need mountains of cash to start investing today. Many brokers have no minimum investment requirements, making it accessible to a broader range of people looking to build a second income. Additionally, commission-free trading has further reduced barriers for beginners. Therefore, allocating just £10 a day to UK shares could work wonders over a long enough period. We can thank compound interest for this. That’s the wealth-building force that physicist Albert Einstein purportedly called the “eighth wonder of the world”. Basically, the longer I invest, the more…
Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) investors have been on edge since the announcement of the departure of powerhouse CEO Brian Niccol in August. The stock fell after its split in June, and it’s tentatively making its way back up as investors get comfortable with the idea that the chain can go on even without Niccol leading the way.If the market had any more quibbles with that notion, the company just made it clear that it’s not stepping away from its strong leading position in the fast-casual restaurant space, flashing a bright buy signal to investors.The unstoppable burrito kingChipotle has become…
