Industry groups are also lobbying Congress to pass a regulatory framework that they say is needed to pull crypto into the…
Image source: The Motley Fool Since the start of 2024, the S&P 500 has been on a firm upward trajectory, sending a large part of Warren Buffett’s portfolio surging. For passive index investors, a 28% gain has been reaped over the last 10 months, including dividends. But for Buffett who, until recently, had a third of his portfolio concentrated in Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), the returns have been far more spectacular thanks to his low initial purchase price. Yet after enjoying tremendous returns, there is growing sentiment among investors that valuations are getting quite hot. And based on the latest filings from…
Even though it’s only half over, November has already been a busy month. In addition to the U.S. presidential election and a Federal Reserve meeting that came with another reduction to prime lending rate, companies across all industries have been reporting third-quarter earnings over the last few weeks. But the month’s busyness is far from over. Nov. 20 is another important date, especially for semiconductor stock Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), as it reports third-quarter earnings then. Here’s why I think the stock is set to soar following the report and my reasoning for my recommendation on what to do if you…
BERLIN (Reuters) – German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said his conversation with Vladimir Putin on Friday had given no indication of a shift in the Russian President’s thinking on the war in Ukraine but defended his much-criticised decision to phone the Kremlin. Speaking from Berlin airport on Sunday, immediately before his departure for the G20 summit in Brazil, Scholz said it had been worth talking to Putin to dispel any illusions he might harbour that the West was about to abandon its support for Ukraine. He added, with reference to Donald Trump’s imminent return to the U.S. presidency, that it would…

New research on The Australian Carbon Credits Scheme shows that most areas under it don’t protect the habitat of threatened species. The Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCU) Scheme was originally launched in 2011 (as the Carbon Farming Initiative) and supports projects that avoid the release of greenhouse gas emissions, or remove and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.Biodiversity conservation has been a strong plank underpinning the carbon market since inception.However, the first national assessment of its kind in the world found that species most in need of habitat restoration are the least likely to get it under the ACCU scheme.Published this week in…
Image source: Getty Images One of my favourite investing tasks is keeping track of the passive income generated by my dividend share portfolio. The company I’m writing about today features more often than usual in my records because it pays dividends quarterly. Most UK shares only pay out twice a year. FTSE 250 member Renewables Infrastructure Group (LSE: TRIG) invests in wind and solar farms around the UK and in Europe. I bought shares in Renewables Infrastructure earlier this year, tempted by the 8% dividend yield and reliable long-term record. A renewable income? TRIG, as it’s known, floated on the…
