As UK stocks enjoy a record month, I’d buy these cheap shares for a passive income

38 mins ago

As I write late on Friday, and with one trading day left in November, what an incredible month it’s been for UK shareholders. News of Joe Biden winning the US presidential election gave global markets an early lift this month. Then news of one, two, and then three highly effective Covid-19 vaccines lit a rocket under share prices. In November, the UK’s FTSE 100 index has surged 790 points (14.2%), adding over £250bn to share values. It’s a similar story over in the US, with the S&P 500 soaring to all-time highs early this week. Yet these two cheap shares in an unloved and undervalued sector have been left far behind in 2020. I’d cheerfully buy both today.

This has been a record month for stocks. But I’d keep buying these cheap shares!

22 hours ago

Late on Friday afternoon and with one full trading day left in November, it has been a record month for stock markets worldwide. The MSCI ACWI global equity index is up 13.2% in November, while the US S&P 500 index has leapt almost 375 points (11.4%) this month. Likewise, the UK’s FTSE 100 has soared nearly 785 points (14.1%) in less than 30 days.

This really has been an exceptional month, with the largest monthly moves I’ve seen as an investor in UK shares since 1986–87. Nevertheless, I still see more value lurking in cheap shares hiding in the FTSE 100. Here’s one quality stock I’d happily buy today.

The best cheap car insurance in Hawaii

Hawaii drivers pay around $803 a year for car insurance on average, according to the Insurance Information Institute, which is below the national average.

Shopping around for coverage is the best way to make sure you’re getting the best price for you. Your premium, or the amount you’ll pay for auto insurance coverage, depends on several factors, including things like your credit score, the type of car you drive, how many years of driving experience you have, and even where you live in Hawaii.

Every company weighs these factors differently, so getting quotes from different companies and comparing them is the best way to find the most affordable policy for

Eversource Energy: A Lot Of Potential In Renewables And Could Be Cheap (NYSE:ES)

Eversource Energy (ES) is the largest utility in the highly populated New England region of the country. This naturally gives the company a large and relatively stable customer base that depends on its services for their everyday lives. This is a key quality of utilities and is one of the things that has helped the sector weather our pandemic-stricken world better than many other companies. Perhaps more importantly, though, Eversource Energy is one of the most active utilities in the development of renewable energy solutions, which has been a very rewarding area in which to invest so far this year. We can see this in the company’s stock price, which has recovered reasonably nicely from the pandemic-driven collapse that sank every firm earlier this year, although it has not been nearly as strong as NextEra Energy (NEE), which has becoming something of a darling in the sector. This may be

Cheap funding fuels $17m dividend for Firstmac’s Cannon

Mr Cannon also said he had bought a “nice car”.

The dividend payouts were listed in accounts filed with regulators.

Those accounts showed Firstmac’s “operating” earnings, before the cost of potential problem debts and tax, jumped from $21.3 million to $56.9 million. A massive driver came from “central bank action to lower market funding costs” but the money flowing in from existing home loan borrowers has not fallen anywhere near as hard.

That meant Firstmac’s net interest income rose from $65.9 million to $112.5 million.

“It happens because of one thing. Interest rates [went down] … margins go up. Profits go up,” Mr Cannon said.

But he argued the bounce was necessary because of cycles, such as hard times in the global financial crisis. “This is a capital intensive business, You’ve got to have some good times ’cause you need to replenish the batteries, build up

On the hunt for investing bargains? Eight cheap opportunities

Bargain hunting investors have a wealth of choice as the Covid-19 crisis disrupted many industries and economies which remain overlooked – and therefore cheap – despite the vaccine relief rally.

With an end to the pandemic hopefully just a matter of time now, global financial markets look set to boom while the optimistic vaccine news keeps coming,

A vaccine won’t mean previous life simply resumes though. People’s behaviour has changed dramatically, and countries have suffered severe social and financial shocks.

The business winners and losers will therefore be different when we finally reach the other side. That means, what is still undervalued now may yet come good during a recovery.
