When I started investing I didn’t really take dividends into account when considering what stocks to buy but I have recently been moving over to investing in higher dividend paying stocks. Here’s a couple I’d recommend.
Got you. Id personally like a way of sorting general activity buy type. So buy, sell, income. That type of thing. Can’t think of anything worse than having to go in to each individual share to view the dividend income on recent activity.
This is why, unfortunately, I find myself using a spread sheet to keep track of a lot of things within my FT ISA - dividends, buying, selling. It would be so much better if you could do more things within the app, not least sort your stocks into alphabetical order! To get back to dividends though, the email you get is very helpful where you can see how many shares there were on ex-dividend date and what the dividend per share was. Sadly, the app activity feed shows none of this, nor does it include the dividend within the stock information!
Umm. Not sure this is true. A lot of people on the internet are providing Financial advice - even when they say things like “DYOR” etc etc. It is up to you to decide whether to take that advice or not. It is important to understand under what capacity the advice is provided. Specifically be clear whether you are dealing with an entity that is registered to provide the financial services that it says it does. In the UK advice on products can only be offered by FCA regulated firms.
The UK FCA differentiates between “guidance” and “advice”. It requires companies to be clear about what services they provide and this has a huge bearing on regulations and protections customers receive. We need to be aware whether we are dealing with (a) regulated firms and (b) whether those firms do explicitly indicate they provide advice. Dealing with regulated forms which legally provide advice (on the internet or otherwise) gives us various consumer protections.
It’s that time again! My best dividend month yet Still clinging onto a green portfolio (5.12%).
June 2020 dividend = £8.93.
June 2021 dividend = £31.24.
June 2022 dividend = £110.61.
Total 2020 dividend = £44.99.
Total 2021 dividend = £227.90 (a 406.56% increase on 2020).
Total 2022 dividend so far = £410.75 (already a 80.23% increase on 2021).
Now consistently above the £50 monthly dividend threshold I wanted to achieve.
your reputation has been ruined now! Thought you was “the one”
