Narang faces two counts of theft by deception and two counts of forgery, Suarez said. He was released pending a court appearance.A website launched earlier this year called “Prince Narang Shady Contractor” claims Narang failed to…

Image source: Getty Images Many studies have shown that in the long run, dividend growth shares (those consistently increasing their dividends) tend to outperform high-yield dividend shares. So I nearly always go for dividend growth over yield when picking stocks for my portfolio. Here, I’m going to highlight UK-listed dividend growers that have created substantial wealth for investors in the past. I think these shares are worth considering for a Stocks and Shares ISA or Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) today. Defence and growth First up, we have Intertek (LSE: ITRK).

The 1971 Ford Mustang marked the end of the first generation’s production run. Despite the discontinuation of the iconic Boss and Shelby models, Ford offered several high-performance options to keep enthusiasts excited. One was the Boss 351, which featured a powerful 351-cubic-inch Cleveland V8 engine. While the Boss 429 was no longer available, its legacy lived on in the Cobra Jet, which was now powered by a 429-cubic-inch engine. However, the 429 Cobra Jet, particularly the convertible version, was a rare find, with only a few hundred examples produced. This specific red on red convertible is even rarer, as it…
(Reuters) -A televised debate among election rivals for mayor of Sao Paulo, Brazil’s biggest city, descended into chaos when one struggling candidate whacked another with a chair and was expelled. During Sunday’s debate among six hopefuls, candidate Jose Luiz Datena, a TV presenter, exploded when opponent Pablo Marcal, a far-right influencer, said Datena was not man enough to hit him as he had previously threatened. Datena had threatened to hit Marcal in a prior debate when Marcal raised a 2019 complaint of sexual harassment against Datena by a coworker. The coworker withdrew her complaint, but later said she had been…
The Vision EQXX, a groundbreaking electric concept car from Mercedes Benz, has been shrouded in mystery since its revealing. While the car’s impressive range and efficiency have been widely discussed, the technology behind its battery pack has remained relatively unknown. Recent developments suggest that the Vision EQXX is closely tied to the future of solid-state batteries. Factorial Energy, a battery startup, has announced plans to develop solid-state batteries that could significantly improve the range and charging speed of electric vehicles. These batteries are expected to be available by the end of the decade, and Mercedes-Benz has indicated that they will…

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) has been brewing up lately, with its stock appreciating over 24% in the past month. But what’s fueling this caffeinated surge, and is it a good time for investors to jump in?

Image source: Getty Images I love buying value shares after they’ve crashed, especially if they offer ultra-high yields as a result. These two FTSE 250 stocks score on both measures but there’s also something iffy about them. For years, luxury retailer Burberry Group (LSE: BRBY) traded at pricey valuation of 24 or 25 times earnings. But it looks dirt cheap today with a P/E ratio of just 7.99 times. Yet that doesn’t necessarily make it good value. A quick search suggests it offers a massive 10.33% trailing yield, but that’s also misleading. The board axed shareholder payouts on 15 July,…
