RISK WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS
The value of stocks and shares and any dividend income, may fall as well as rise, and is not guaranteed so you may get back less than you invested. You should not invest any money you can’t afford to lose and should not rely on any dividend income to meet your living expenses. Stocks listed on overseas exchanges may be subject to additional dealing and exchange rate charges, administrative costs, withholding taxes, different accounting and reporting standards, may have other tax implications, and may not provide the same, or any, regulatory protection. Exchange rate charges may adversely affect the value of shares in sterling terms, and you could lose money in sterling even if the stock rises in the currency of origin. Any performance statistics that do not adjust for exchange rate changes are likely to result in inaccurate real returns for sterling-based UK investors.

easyJet shares have soared 70% over the last month. Is it the perfect time to buy?
More on:
The easyJet(LSE: EZJ) share price has been extremely turbulent since March. In fact, it’s hit highs of over 900p, while also falling to lows of around 450p. The last month has been extremely positive for the stock though, with the share price rising 70% to 850p. This has been spurred on by the roll out of the
Pfizer/
BioNTech vaccine. The success of other vaccines has provided further hope for the airline stock. Nevertheless, while this news is certainly very positive, problems still abound. These include the potential impacts of a no-deal Brexit and the travel restrictions that remain in place due to the pandemic.

Of the proven methods to make a million, two include either creating a revolutionary new product/service, or investing in a company to do it for you. The latter is significantly easier and requires far less effort.
