Image source: Getty Images Investing in stocks that offer growth at a reasonable price (GARP) can be a very successful strategy. This strategy – which has elements of both growth investing and value investing – was made famous by legendary fund manager Peter Lynch, who generated huge returns for his investors back in the 1980s. One stock that appears to offer growth at a reasonable price today is software powerhouse Salesforce (NYSE: CRM). Here’s a look at the investment case, and why I just bought more of it for my portfolio. Salesforce has AI agents Salesforce is the global market…

Image source: Getty Images Since January 1, 2025, BAE Systems (LSE: BA) has gained a substantial 69% following a surge in global defense spending. An investor who sunk their £20,000 allowance into BAE shares at the start of the year would have £33,800 today. That’s an eye-watering profit of £13,800! Plus, if invested via a Stocks and Shares ISA, they would avoid any tax levied on the capital gains.

That’s because the perfect storm for turning the federal deficit into a “genuine crisis” has arrived. In recent years, the Federal Reserve has “raised interest rates dramatically in an effort to tame inflation.” Since that means the federal government…

Image source: Getty Images I have held Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) shares for more years than I care to remember. Nevertheless, over that time they have delivered consistently high dividend yields. They remain a key part of my passive income portfolio designed to generate high returns for me. These have not only given me a far better lifestyle over the years than I would have enjoyed otherwise. But they should also allow me to keep reducing my working commitments as and when I choose. Investors taking the same step even five years ago using the £11,000 UK savings average…

Image source: Getty Images I knew NatWest (LSE: NWG) shares were heating up nicely, but I didn’t realise just how much smoke they were throwing off. The FTSE 100 high street bank has been back in the headlines as the Treasury finally sold off the last of its stake. For the first time since the financial crisis, NatWest is entirely in private hands. The debate over the 2008 bailout still rumbles on. Taxpayers lost around £10bn, but letting Royal Bank of Scotland (as it then was) go under would have been a huge risk. Investors who bought in the years…

Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 technical products and service distributor Diploma (LSE: DPLM) hit a record high of £50.20 on 20 May. This marked a 169% rise from its opening price of £18.65 on 4 June 2020. It is not surprising, as the firm has posted broadly strong results over the period, including its H1 2025 numbers. However, such a rise is no reason to avoid buying a stock, fearing that it cannot possibly increase much further. But neither does it mean it should be bought on expectations of continued unstoppable bullish momentum. The key question in my experience as a…

Image source: Getty Images Having been investing for nearly four decades, I’ve made many mistakes along the way. And as my investment style has evolved over the years, I have become increasingly fond of passive income. Passive income — earnings I get from outside of work — comes from what young people these days call ‘side hustles’. But as I’m too ugly to be an online influencer and too lazy to be a landlord, my second income comes from owning various assets. Types of unearned income There are many forms of unearned income, but most of Britain’s passive income comes…
