Image source: Getty Images Billionaire investor Warren Buffett has a well-known metric for measuring stock market valuations. And it indicates that share prices – specifically US ones – are expensive at the moment. Given that US companies account for almost 70% of the global equities, it’s probably fair to say this means stocks as a whole are expensive. But what should investors do about this? The Buffett indicator Buffett’s famous metric involves comparing the market value of equities with gross domestic product (GDP). And on this basis, US equities look unusually expensive at the moment. The so-called Buffett indicator has…

Image source: Getty Images The aberdeen share price (LSE: ABDN) has been on a tear recently. Since the tariff-induced sell-off, the stock is up 45%. The firm finally swung back to profit last year and with its fund outflows beginning to stabilise, I’m turning increasingly bullish on its outlook. Leading asset manager Over the last 10 years, aberdeen has made for a poor investment. Once the second-largest asset manager in Europe, the stock has fallen 70% from its peak in 2015. However, despite this, it still has over £500bn in assets under management. The downturn of the business is long…

Image source: Getty Images In April, global stock markets had a meltdown and lots of shares quickly went on sale. I managed to invest in a Nasdaq 100 index tracker at the time, and that has since jumped by 22%. Now, I’m wondering if I should do the same with the FTSE 250. Why? The main reason I’ve considered the mid-cap index is because it’s out of favour with investors. Indeed, it was higher at the end of 2019 than it is today! But if investors reassess many FTSE 250 firms’ prospects at some point, there could be lucrative gains.…

Image source: Getty Images I try to look at dividend forecasts with a three-year time horizon. This is mainly because accurately predicting income streams for companies beyond that is almost impossible. Yet over the coming years, having an idea of the dividend payments can be very handy when making a decision about whether to buy or not. Here’s a FTSE 100 firm that I spotted. Key information about the firm I’m talking about Phoenix Group (LSE:PHNX). The business is a UK-based insurance and long-term savings provider, managing over £5bn. The company specialises in acquiring and managing closed books of life…
