Hi hairdavey,
You are doing it smart reinvesting the divi’s mate. Compounding from 5:13 at an escalating divi will give you a significant pot.
I have one third of my pension paid by Phnx. So a lot of shares. I dont reinvest divi as I retired at 51, self funded, enabled by some lucky trades! All in an ISA! So I need the income and there’s none better than Phnx imo.
It’s not for everyone as I have to manage my own pf dynamically and that takes time. Having made money on ‘hot stocks’ the majority of which are way down now I tipped the profits into income. I only step outside of income now for rare opportunities and even then with less risk than I used to.
Hence TRR had to be convincing. I posted an expo on Tecan. They will pay a divi in a year or so. If you are young it’s a good small cap addition to your pf. I look at loads of stocks and now only buy perhaps 1 in 20 and keep even less. I usually turn down trading unless I am 95% sure as I have to protect my capitol.
Rule one of investing is protect your capitol!
Rule two, see rule one!
Especially as I can’t earn money now.
Anyways doing ok and at 59 now and it beats working!
