Bad timing probably14 Feb 2017 12:04
I have just added E2V my list of regular investments. This is probably bad timing but hopefully the drip-feed effect of regular monthly investments will iron out the peaks and troughs in the share price. The share price has gone from 140p to 272p in five years but recent bounces make this an uncertain judgement. The dividends have grown pretty steadily to about 2%. My main reason for buying in is that for many years I lived in Maldon, close to the Chelmsford Factory and knew many people working there. I also watched the company growing up as one of the original GEC factories was in Maldon. It will be five years before I know if this is a sound decision.
