Image source: Getty Images I’m keen to add a few FTSE 250 shares to my portfolio of mostly FTSE 100 stocks, but I’m wondering where to start. So I decided to ask ChatGPT. Artificial intelligence (AI) is going to be running our lives soon enough, I’m told. So why not let it run my portfolio today? Actually, there are reasons. ChatGPT’s first pick was Warhammer-maker Games Workshop. It exited the FTSE 250 on 5 December, and now resides in the FTSE 100. Oh well. Even robots aren’t perfect. So I asked ChatGPT to give it another shot. I must have…
Image source: The Motley Fool Warren Buffett has made many billions of pounds in the stock market. But he started as a schoolboy, with no shares at all until he spent some money from a paper round to dip his toe in the market. I am applying some lessons from Buffett as I aim to build wealth in the stock market. An investor could use the same approach starting with nothing. Here are those five steps. 1. Getting some capital to invest Buffett began with nothing but he saved up to buy shares. Whether from savings, regular contributions or a…
Image source: Getty Images Putting off getting into the stock market can mean that someone who only dreams of making money in it never actually starts buying shares. That might be because they feel they lack experience. However, everyone has to start somewhere. So if a stock market novice had £3,000 and wanted to start investing, here is how they could go about it. Understand what you’re getting into It is possible to begin investing with no stock market experience and build wealth. But it is not guaranteed by any means. So I think it makes sense for a would-be…
Image source: Getty Images Greggs‘ (LSE: GRG) shares have tumbled 22% in the past year. Over five years, they’re down 9%, which is disappointing for a stock that used to have a habit of outperforming the FTSE 250 index (to which it belongs). However, the beloved bakery chain has also been dishing out dividends as well as sausage rolls over most of that time. Would these cash payouts have erased the 9% loss and put a £10,000 investment into positive territory? Let’s find out. Dividends Back in 2020, we were in the middle of the pandemic. High streets were empty…
Image source: Getty Images Wouldn’t it be nice to have a passive income of £5,000 per month, without having to lift a finger? FTSE 100 stocks made an average annual return of 6.9% over the past 20 years. So we’d need a Stocks and Shares ISA pot of close to £870,000 to earn that amount at that rate (which is not guaranteed, mind). The trouble is, if we take out the whole return, then the pot’s value would dwindle with inflation. To be able to take out £5,000 a month and leave enough behind to grow in line with inflation?…
Image source: Getty Images A £10,000 investment in Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) one month ago would now be worth a little more than £9,190. This reflects an 8.1% decline as shares hover near two-month lows, but also a small appreciation of the pound. Though still 43% above its November 2024 levels, Tesla has shed 30% from its December peak of $488.54, pulled down by leadership distractions, policy headwinds, and doubts over its sky-high valuation. For a company of its size, such volatility is unusual. The slide explained Tesla’s recent slump stems from a cocktail of self-inflicted and external pressures. CEO Elon Musk’s…
Michael Burry, best known for calling the subprime mortgage crisis, reshuffled his bets on Chinese internet stocks last quarter, trimming holdings in Alibaba and JD.com and adding a new stake in PDD . Burry’s hedge fund, Scion Asset Management, cut its stake in Alibaba by 25% in the fourth quarter, according to a new filing. The Jack Ma-founded company was still the biggest holding at the end of 2024, worth $12.7 million. Scion also reduced its JD.com stake by 40% to a bet worth $10.4 million at the end of December. The famed investor added a $7.3 million bet on PDD, operator…
Image source: Getty Images Assuming a 5% withdrawal rate, which could be achieved by investing in dividend stocks, an investor would need around £2.4m invested in a Stocks and Shares ISA to earn £120,000 of annual passive income. This equates to around £10,000 monthly. These might sound like really big numbers. And they are. However, because most of these strategies for passive income take decades, it’s important to remember that £10,000 in 30 years will be worth a lot less than it is today. In fact, assuming inflation does average 2% over the next 30 years — which may be…
