This disparity comes despite a very pronounced difference between the typical return rates of both types of investments in recent…

Image source: Getty Images It’s turning out to be a bad day for my FTSE 100 holdings, as I own shares in HSBC (LSE: HSBA), JD Sports Fashion, and BAE Systems (LSE: BA.). As I write today (30 July), all three stocks had fallen by 3% or more. This is a motley collection of businesses — a bank, sportswear retailer, and defence contractor, respectively. So what gives? HSBC In one way or another, the common denominator here is earnings results. HSBC’s Q2 pre-tax profit slumped 29% year on year to $6.3bn, which was well short of the $7bn expected by…
Image source: Getty Images At first glance, receiving a second income sounds like a nightmare. Sure, the money sounds nice. An extra influx of cash on the regular sounds very nice indeed, in fact. But a second income tends to mean a second job – which tends to mean a lot of hard graft! So-called side hustles like giving lifts to strangers or delivering boxes of chicken nuggets might work for those with the energy and inclination for it. But, in my humble opinion, putting those burdens on top of a day job sounds like a bit too much in…

Image source: Getty Images There’s plenty of doom and gloom to go around in 21st century Great Britain, but one of the undoubted success stories has been that of Greggs (LSE: GRGG). From humble beginnings as a pokey bakery in Newcastle, the chain has expanded to over 2,600 locations across the country. Hungry Brits can’t get enough of the reasonably priced sausage rolls and baked delicacies.

Image source: Getty Images The Barclays (LSE: BARC) share price is well and truly back from the crushing it got in the 2020 stock market crash. We’re looking at a 270% climb over the past five years. And 59% in the last 12 months alone. As if to justify investor confidence, the bank delivered on H1 performance. And it delivered big.
