The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Yes Realist1 very frustrating but the whole market has been stagnating with little growth since covid , I haves batch of high dividend shares and there's a few disasters amongst them , I'm holding for the long term(5-10 years) to compound the invested dividends so there will be many ups a d downs in that time but hopefully things work out .
Biggest worry at the moment is world instability Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hammas and the possibility of China-Tiawan conflict which will make the previous 2 wars look like sideshows if the US gets involved , unfortunately very little we can do about these global troubles .
Likewise , held hfel since start of covid and done nothing but go down and with dividends reinvested I'm still way down , I'm going to hold for the long term 5 plus years mabe up to 10 so hoping for a turnaround but time will tell.
