There has been no other company in the artificial intelligence (AI) realm that’s been watched as closely as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) over the last couple of years.

Image source: Getty Images I think the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250 are great places for value investors to look for shares to buy. And there are a couple I’ve been watching for a little while.

So I think both are worth a closer look.  Vistry One of the interesting things about profit warnings is that there never seems to be just one of them. And on Friday (8 November) Vistry (LSE:VTY) issued a second one to go with October’s.  The stock fell 20%…

Buying a car is a significant investment, and making the wrong choice can lead to frustration and regret. In 2024, some cars stand out for all the wrong reasons. The Fiat 500X, for instance, has an underpowered engine and cramped interior, failing to meet expectations in the subcompact SUV segment. The Jeep Compass, despite its rugged appearance, offers poor fuel economy and sluggish performance.

Image source: Getty Images Until a few days ago, I thought Tesco (LSE: TSCO) shares were the best thing since sliced bread. They’d smashed the FTSE 100 to grow 70% in just two years, and paid dividend income of around 4% a year on top.

That’s way ahead of second-placed Sainsbury’s on 15.2%. German budget chains Aldi and Lidl have made stunning progress, but can’t topple Tesco. On 24 October, I praised Tesco’s…

Stocks notched their best week of the year as investors cheered President-elect Donald Trump’s economic agenda. “Tax cuts are behind the rally … and in general, there is the perception that markets like Republican administrations, although certainly the performance for the past few years of the Democratic administration has not exactly been shabby,” Interactive Brokers’ Steve Sosnick explained to me on Yahoo Finance’s special election coverage. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) skyrocketed more than 1,700 points from Wednesday through Friday, closing the week up 4.6%. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) surged to a record, while the…
