Hi Genghis,
You point is correct. But if your average is 28p say and you are bagging +10% yield then even accounting for inflation and dilution that represents an excellent return for a few years.
The trick is when one has had enough income to sell for a capital gain as well and then reinvest elsewhere.
Atm I have reinvested the divi’s from here in higher divi growth stocks.
I will sell the rest here when I think my returns have run their course. But for now all is good irrespective of dilution. RECI is another I hold; flat divi and very high yield. Similar play, same quarterly income profile
But then I also hold SEPL for example from 100p and its yield keeps going up!
So I back some high yield flat divi’s and also have some higher growth plays.
Each to their own and there are many ways of playing stocks. But don’t love any of them!
I have reduced significantly here from my initial play as I average in and average out of positions but I am happy to run what I have for now as it fits my income profile.
