"The current situation in Ukraine highlights the point I made about investing in dividend Stocks. Just like Ryanair, my investments are getting hammered, but I will still receive dividends however long this lasts. I don't see my stocks suspending their dividends, like BT and Lloyds did going into Covid, so I will have opportunities to reinvest dividends while this plays out. At the moment, the World seems to roll from one crisis into another, with a dysfunctional algo driven market incapable of sensibly valuing stocks and sectors. BT is currently touching 20% down for the month, where's BT's exposure to Ukraine? I don't see any impact on BT from Ukraine, so I'll probably look at topping up after the 5th April, same with my VOD and Lloyds investments. Ryanair is down over 31% since the 10th Feb."
Would have thought the even smarter move would have been to sell at the 200 level and buy back at the mid 160's where they are now, would have crystalised far more than a few % divi in much less time.
