  • This FTSE 100 share looks like a brilliant bargain at current prices, says Royston Wild. Here's why it's on his Christmas wishlist this year.

The article from Fool.co.uk discusses the author's strategy of investing in FTSE 100 shares instead of saving money, particularly highlighting the potential benefits of buying shares in December. The author argues that despite the FTSE 100's lackluster performance in 2023, there are still compelling reasons to invest. They mention the allure of high dividend yields from companies like M&G, which offers a 9.6% yield, and the potential for capital growth from undervalued stocks. The piece emphasizes the long-term benefits of investing in stocks over saving, citing historical data showing that stocks generally outperform savings accounts over time. The author also touches on the psychological aspect of investing, suggesting that buying during market dips can lead to significant long-term gains, and encourages readers to consider their investment strategy for the new year, focusing on quality companies with strong fundamentals.
