And it is only 2% off its 6 February 12-month traded high of £13.48. So, is it worth me buying it at the current price? Price and value are not the same…

Image source: Getty Images Gold’s on fire at the moment and charging towards the $3,000 per ounce mark. As a result, many gold mining stocks are doing well. Is it worth buying a few of these stocks for my Stocks and Shares ISA or Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP)? Let’s discuss. The advantage of investing in gold stocks When the price of gold is rising, as it is now, gold mining companies can be great investments.

Image source: Getty Images A bit like the Grand Old Duke of York in the nursery rhyme, the HSBC (LSE:HSBA) share price was up and down in early trading today (19 February).

This includes some notable one-off items,…

Here’s I’m lookng at one of them. The company in focus today is London Stock Exchange Group (LSE: LSEG), or ‘LSEG’ for short. With a market cap of approximately £65bn, it’s currently the 9th-largest business in the Footsie. Given its past history (as a stock exchange operator), this company is often still viewed as a financial firm. However today, it’s far more of a technology business. You see,…
