Just as importantly, our approach remains unchanged: long-term, jargon-free, and on your side. This site is our new home, and there will be extra tweaks made across the coming few days as we settle in. So if anything looks a little off, please bear with us!

With Scottish Nationalists being told a full currency union with the UK will not be possible if the Scottish people vote for independence, we’re hearing more pundits warning of a possible hit to the country’s massive financial services sector if the “Yes” campaign wins the day. But Owain Bennallack hears from his Foolish colleagues Stuart Watson and Mark Rogers that it’s probably far too soon to panic about any financial interests you have north of the border. Plus our latest look at the UK’s febrile housing market, and the best and worst countries for equity investors over the past 114 years.

Should you buy Rolls Royce shares today?

Before you decide, please take a moment to review this report first. Despite ongoing uncertainties from US tariffs to global conflicts, Mark Rogers and his team believe many UK shares still trade at substantial discounts, offering savvy investors plenty of potential opportunities to learn about.

That’s why this could be an ideal time to secure this valuable research – Mark’s analysts have scoured the markets to reveal 5 of his favourite long-term ‘Buys’. Please, don’t make any big decisions before seeing them.
