@gym121 i already hold & trade Unliever & wanted a bit more diversification.
I usually add Unilever when the price drops to around 3800 or below & i sold the last tranche out at round 4400p.
I've been lucky to receive £1k if dividend over the last 2 weeks & decided to put them all into this on Friday.
IMB 9%
BATS 6%
I've held IMB since i bought in after the covid crash.
I'm still well in profit + dividends & the % was higher, but i sold some at near 2100p & some at 1800p+ (the day of the last full ex-dividend date).
I hold LGEN at 8% & others such as UKW, DEC & LLoy are around 6%
Signed
I'm happy to keep adding at these prices.
More will be added on Monday through my monthly ISA subscription & my dividends will be reinvested too.
Nice to see directors buying stock.
As of last week, I hold Diageo shares for the first time ever.
I usually like a higher dividend yield, but thought the recent decline in the SP offered a decent opportunity to invest.
My main concern is is that there's no guarantee that the SP will rise if everyone accepts the tender offer.
I'm currently adding stocks of some major companies that are buying back millions of shares each day and the SP is still depressed even though they have strong earnings and a well covered, progressive dividend.
Not much in the market makes sense at the moment regarding dividend stocks.
Along with BATS i added more UKW today !
To be honest Barney182, nothing surprises me with FTSE dividend shares anymore.
It'll probably drop to 2000p but I think it should comfortably be around 2800-3000.
I'll certainly add below 2500p
After selling one stock at a profit, I've added another 115 BATS shares.
With solid earnings, decent news regarding non combustible sales & a 9% dividend yield !
What's not to like ?
Plenty of high yielding ftse shares are having a dire time lately, as it seems most investors are staying away from the market or piling into the overpriced U.S market.
If earnings are strong, just keep buying the dips.
Below 130p I'd rate UKW as a buy
Anyone selling UKW should really have sold out above 150p.
I'm in for the long haul & hopefully this is another safe dividend bet for retirement (I'm 54) & i'll add more shares in my ISA if the SP goes to 130p or below when my monthly payment is made.
I've traded this share just a few times over the last few years & always think it's worth checking out after a substantial drop.
I used to buy in below 900p & sell out in the 1200-1300p range.
The last time i bought in it was heading to the 1000p mark & i sold out at a decent profit. I never thought it would reach 2000p, so i missed out on the eventual SP rise (I'd got used to the SP retracing after any decent rise).
If the SP keeps dropping, i certainly wouldn't put anyone off buying in or adding more TEP.
Good luck folks, but don't ever be afraid to take a decent profit.
@sotonspike - you don't need a crystal ball when you can see the dips in a companies sp.
You don't need to be a genius to know it's better to buy the shares of Lloyds bank at 40p than it is to buy them at 48p.
If they're around 40p or below when my monthly ISA subscription is due, I'll add more Lloyds.
If they climb back up to 43p or more, then I won't add more.
Simple really.
Once LGEN climbed back above 230p I stopped adding.
I sold BP at 530p & they're now worth looking at again IMHO.
If DEC is such a badly run company, then why did Midas in the Mail on Sunday tip it as being exactly the opposite of being a badly run company ?
Also, why did it feature in the top ten holdings of a well run unit trust when i looked before Xmas (surely a professional fund management team would know better than the average private investor)
