Stock market rally: I’d buy dirt-cheap UK shares today and hold them forever

5 months ago

There’s no guarantee a stock market rally will follow 2020’s stock market crash. However, the past performance of UK shares suggests it’s very likely to take place over the coming years.

As such, buying dirt-cheap UK shares now and holding them for the long term could be a sound move. It may enable an investor to make attractive capital returns as company profits and investor sentiment strengthen following a tough 2020.

Buying and holding dirt-cheap UK shares ahead of a stock market rally

A stock market rally could lift the valuations of today’s ultra-cheap UK shares. It seems likely to take place over the coming years, since every previous market downturn has been followed by a bull market that has produced new record highs. There may not necessarily be a fast-paced market rally in 2021. However, a buy-and-hold strategy could allow an investor to take part in a likely rise

How I’d find top growth shares to buy at cheap prices in December 2020

Taking the time to find top growth shares to buy at cheap prices could be a worthwhile move in the long run. It may allow an investor to take part in improving company performances, while benefiting from a potential increase in valuation over the coming years.

Through focusing on solid businesses operating in sectors with strong growth outlooks, but that face challenging near-term prospects, it may be possible to capitalise on the stock market’s future growth potential.

Identifying top growth shares in attractive sectors

Top growth shares are likely to deliver improving profitability in the coming years. That is because of the attractive prospects for the industries in which they operate. If they have weak operating conditions in the years ahead, they are more likely to record disappointing sales and profit growth.

As such, identifying industries with attractive growth prospects could be a sound move. This process may understandably be

Cheap Shares: 1 tech stock I think can double my money!

Cheap shares are hard to come by, but this tech stock is looking like a bargain to me. Why is that? Well, it’s all about the changing world we live in.

The pandemic has created a semi-permanent shift in the average working lifestyle. Due to safety concerns, many employees are now working from home. Yes, the announcement of multiple vaccines means the pandemic may be over soon. However, an estimated 25%-30% of people will continue working from home even after Covid-19 becomes a chapter in the history books.

That actually makes a lot of sense from a business point of view. Many employees can do their job as effectively from home. In that case, there’s no need to spend money renting costly offices.

Video conferencing tech stocks in the pandemic

Tech stocks like Zoom Video Communications have flourished under current market conditions. The sudden need for remote working solutions resulted

2020 stock market recovery: how I’d invest in dirt-cheap UK shares to retire rich

A stock market recovery from the 2020 market crash is likely to take place, judging by the past performances of the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250. They’ve always bounced back from their declines to post fresh record highs.

As such, buying a diverse range of dirt-cheap UK shares now could be a shrewd move. It may enable an investor to maximise their returns in a likely stock market rally. Doing so could improve their chances of building a nest egg from which they may retire earlier than previously planned.

Investing in dirt-cheap UK shares ahead of a stock market recovery

Despite showing signs of a stock market recovery in recent weeks, the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 continue to trade significantly down on their 2020 starting prices. As such, many shares are priced at low levels relative to their averages over the past few years.

France’s Orange to bid for outstanding shares in Belgian business

Adds details on offer, dividend

PARIS, Dec 2 (Reuters) – French telecoms group Orange ORAN.PA said on Wednesday it was planning a bid for the shares it does not already own in Orange Belgium OBEL.BR, in an offer worth around 620 million euros ($751 million), as it uses up funds recouped from a tax dispute.

Orange also said in a separate statement that its board was considering an extraordinary dividend of 0.20 euros per share for 2020 as it deploys the 2.2 billion euros it recovered after a French court ruling that settled its tax spat.

The cash offer of 22 euros per share to buy out the stock it does not already own in Orange Belgium was a 35.6% premium compared to the closing price on Dec. 2, Orange said.

It already owns 52.9% of Orange Belgium and could possibly delist the firm, depending on the

These quality stocks have dived since June. I’d buy these cheap shares today

From June, the FTSE 100 index zigzagged downwards, losing ground as rising Covid-19 infections worried investors. By Halloween, the Footsie had dropped 590 points — almost a tenth (9.6%) — as share prices drifted downwards. Then came a near-record month, with cheap shares staging a massive comeback and the FTSE 100 leaping by almost an eighth (12.4%) in November. However, not all stocks rose in this relief rally, with several quality companies lagging behind.

Bottom-fishing for cheap shares

From early June until today, 29 FTSE 100 members have seen their share prices decline. The worst performer has crashed by almost a quarter (24.1%), while the best of these 29 losers had its share price dip by just 0.3%. Overall, the average decline among these laggards is 9%, with 12 stocks recording higher falls than this. I see this ‘dirty dozen’ as fertile ground for bottom-fishing — finding unloved and cheap
