Now looks like a terrific time to buy BP (LSE: BP) shares but there’s one thing stopping me. A number of other FTSE 100 stocks are super-tempting too, notably insurer Aviva (LSE: AV). I don’t have the cash to buy them both. Investing is about making choices. So what do I do? The BP share price can be ...

I was on the edge of buying Aviva (LSE: AV) shares last year but ended up buying FTSE 100 rival Legal & General Group instead.

There are different ways to earn money and not all of them involve working for it. Take the dividends from income shares, for example. By buying into proven, profitable blue-chip businesses, I could be in line to share some of the money they pay out to investors. In practice, things might not be quite ...

Insurance, wealth, and retirement company Aviva (LSE: AV) looks like a good stock for creating a second income via shareholder dividends. The firm operates in the UK, Canada, and Ireland, and I reckon it’s a bit of a gem in the FTSE 100 index. The valuation has been modest for some time. However, the ...

Aviva (LSE: AV.) shares are a very popular investment at the moment.

But now at just £4.66 a piece, are they one of the best bargains available to investors on the FTSE 100? The Aviva share price has been on a tear recently and it’s easy to see why some ...

I think the best way to top up my State Pension in retirement is to build a portfolio of dividend-paying FTSE 100 income stocks. I’m getting some brilliant yields, plus the prospect of share price growth over time. Insurer Legal & General Group, for example, pays me income of 8.68% a year. Wealth manager ...

It really looked like the Aviva (LSE: AV.) share price was going to break above £5 for the first time since the March 2020 global market crash. Technically, it did for all of one minute at the beginning of April. But I’m not counting that. Will the stock be retesting that level again soon or will it ...

The Aviva (LSE: AV.) share price is staying stubbornly low. So what might shift it? I can see a few things. But I reckon dividends, if they’re paid in line with forecasts for the next few years, could be just the thing to give it a helping hand. Refocus Aviva had been a bit of a disappointment for some ...

Aviva (LSE: AV.) shares are up 12.5% in the last six months. They did drop around 6% on 11 April, though, as they went ‘ex-dividend’. This simply means investors buying the stock today aren’t entitled to the next cash dividend due to be paid out on 23 May. I became an Aviva shareholder in November and ...
