Image source: Getty Images Looking to make a big passive income at low cost? Here are two great dividend shares worth thinking about as the summer season kicks off. Supermarket Income REIT Real estate investment trust (REIT) Supermarket Income REIT (LSE:SUPR) trades at a near-10% discount to its net asset value (NAV) per share. It also carries a large 7.6% forward dividend yield. While it’s sensitive to interest rate changes, I still think it’s potentially a great low-risk way to source a second income. And especially at today’s prices. As the name implies, this property stock provides exposure to the…

Image source: Getty Images Research shows that over the long run, dividend growth stocks (those with rising dividends) tend to outperform high-yield dividend payers. Often, dividend growers are able to provide a mix of income and capital gains, which can be a very powerful combination for investors. Here, I’m going to highlight three dividend growth stocks in the FTSE 100 index. I believe all three are worth considering for a portfolio today.

Metro’s LAX station opens next week. This is a big deal for Southern California transit riders.Let me repeat: the LAX Metro Transit Center opening is a big deal.I’ve been seeing some mainstream accounts – especially in the comments – being dismissive of the new station. The main complaint is that the airport people mover – that will connect the Metro station to the airline terminals – will not open until 2026. The people mover is a separate non-Metro project. Construction hit some snags, but it’s nearly complete.The transit center is important for getting people – travelers and workers – to…
In Parc Adfer, North Wales, incinerator owner Enfinium is testing a new technology to capture some of the 218,967 tonnes of carbon dioxide that it spews out of its chimneys every year.The company — which generates power from waste — is aiming to clean up its output.

That could become a reality under a proposed shake-up of the UK’s CO₂ emissions trading scheme, which would see allowances for carbon removals trade alongside regular allowances for emissions.The…

New York CNN — The US is at a low risk of an imminent debt crisis — but high risk in the long term, billionaire investor Ray Dalio writes in a new book. The US government debt situation is “nearing the point of no return” and approaching a “death spiral” that could threaten the stability of the world’s largest economy, he writes in the book, “How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle,” published Tuesday.
