Hi Robles. I am genuinely making a profit!
I am in the build phase at the moment so twice a month I add if the share is around 205. Once it’s through I will set a limit order to sell for 10% profit, so circa 220. I suspect it will sit low now for a couple more months before the divi hunters come in. If I don’t realise my 10% profit I will sit it out until a week before the XD and sell then. Post divi it tends to fall significantly more than the divi, when it is then a volatile share, there’s where it all starts again.
I’m up this year by £2k and hold more shares than I did in January. I’m trading with 20k shares at the moment, and if the price defies logic I will take the divi.
Would I be better off just building? Scary question but I don’t think so. Last XD I had realised profits and bought more Aviva which rose.
December 31st is when I’ll run my figures, but suffice to say if I sell anything it’s always at a profit… so far. Like I say I sat on these for years to get my 250 back, since then it’s been a reliable trader.
What I’m now worried about it the exposure to Thames Water, that could stump us all for a couple of years.
