Equity investors have certainly experienced volatility this year. There have been wild swings, but the S&P 500 index has returned -0.1% through April 10.

Equity investors have certainly experienced volatility this year. There have been wild swings, but the S&P 500 index has returned -0.1% through April 10. While investors should always think long-term, it's particularly important to do so now. If you sell in a panic, you'll likely regret it down the line. But it's also important to focus on buying companies with strong long-term growth prospects. And if you can purchase it at a bargain, so much the better. Continue reading

State Grid Corp. of China , which supplies power to over 80% of the country, will raise operational capacity from 45 gigawatts to 78 gigawatts by 2030, in a bid to bolster the country’...
China’s largest grid operator has pledged to spend 31 billion yuan ($4.5 billion) on pumped hydro storage this year, in support of the company’s plan to lift total capacity by more than 70% by the end of the decade. State Grid Corp. of China , which supplies power to over 80% of the country, will raise operational capacity from 45 gigawatts to 78 gigawatts by 2030, in a bid to bolster the country’s record-breaking renewables expansion, according to the official State Grid News . The utility will join smaller peer China Southern Power Grid Co. in helping to deliver on the the government’s five-year plan , which calls for an additional 100 gigawatts of pumped hydro by 2030. Read More: China Southern Grid Pledges $9 Billion in Pumped Hydro Spending State Grid plans to add more than 30 gigawatts of new capacity by then, with another 30 gigawatts under construction. Pumped hydro is a long-standing means of storing energy at scale and uses water released downhill to generate electricity. Storage is becoming more critical in China, particularly for a renewables sector that’s seeing mounting curtailments because of bottlenecks in the grid. Unlike batteries, which are better over short durations, pumped hydro can store energy for many hours or even days.

Getty Images Indra Sistemas ( ISMAF ) is a company that I covered about 4 months back - and a company that I consider to be very interesting and a good potential investment. Its mission-criticality is a core reason for its significant investability, and its upside into several civilian and military sectors is part of what makes it attractive to me. It's a company that you are unlikely to know about or to have heard of a lot, but a company that nonetheless should command your attention, because it has clients in over 140 countries on the planet. You can find my last article on the company here, and as you can see, I provided a correct rating insofar as the company has dropped relative to the returns that I see in the interim. Seeking Alpha RoR So what's the reason the company has gone up, then down? Why is the company still attractive? What makes me say, as in my last article, that the share price is masking volatility (or perhaps not so much "masking" it anymore, given how obvious the volatility now seems to be)? Those are things that I will be showing you here and that I will be justifying to you before moving forward. A very common misconception, especially among novice investors, is that a company is either 'bad' or 'good.' To me, it's a fluid thing to look at. You have fundamentals, certainly. One company may be A-rated and perfectly safe. Another company may only be BB-rated and relatively unsafe by comparison. But say that the first company is traded at more than 100% of its average historically and 50% above the peer average multiple, higher than it has ever been. Say further that the second company is at pennies on the dollar. What then? You don't need to consider one more complex than the other, but it does "muddle" the picture a bit insofar as the total appeal goes. So in this article, I will try to update and determine at what point this company may become attractive for what it is and what it offers. This is fairly tricky - especially for a company that ...

Poll projects major political earthquake across Britain with Labour losing Wales and England’s Red Wall Good morning. Wes Streeting , the health secretary, is publishing a revised women’s health strategy for England today. As Andrew Gregory reports, the strategy implicitly accepts that women have been let down by a (largely male) medical establishment which has not always taken their health concerns seriously. But, for Labour, this is not just a health announcement. The English local elections are just over three weeks away, and Labour is using this announcement as a platform to attack Reform UK, saying that Nigel Farage’s party can’t be trusted to stand up for women. 1. Reform want to reopen the debate on abortion limits Nigel Farage has described the current 24-week abortion limit as “utterly ludicrous” and called for Parliament to revisit it - raising concerns about rolling back long-established reproductive rights. Today Labour is taking action to fix a system that has too often ignored women - cutting waiting lists, improving care and putting women’s voices at the centre. But Reform’s record speaks for itself. From attacking reproductive rights to undermining protections at work, they simply can’t be trusted to stand up for women. If these results come to pass, we will be looking at a major political earthquake across Britain. It could be the worst local election ever for Labour in England, a collapse for the Conservatives in their historic Blue Wall heartlands, and a brutal third place for Starmer’s party in Wales.
