RE: Shares growth v dividend11 Mar 2022 00:01
Hi mole, you've obviously been good at picking the right ones by the sounds of it, so well done there, what I have found difficult is not only picking the right stocks, but picking the right stocks at the right times, like with smt, they made record profits the year before I invested with them, but I watched the sp go from £12 up to excess of £15, then with American tech stocks going out of favour fast, I sold up when it dropped down to £13.50 and it's now down to around the £9 mark, for me I'm finding it easier dealing with the dividend stocks which tend to work within a range , such as lgen, aviva, mng, vod, lloyds as I said I had big hopes for Lloyds, but it just keeps getting knocked back down, just going to take a little longer than I thought, and vod we all know has had it's problems but hopefully will get better, been taking your advice though and putting shares on a watch list and trying to avoid buying at the top, and as Fleccy says reinvesting on the dips, hopefully I may make some money one day with the advice from you guys
cheers
