For @Peteswindon and anyone else interested… My current top positions
My choices are made purely on the dividend %, with an eye towards whether a company/fund looks good, feels good, and had performed reasonably ok over the previous year or so.
My initial goal was to have any money invested work harder than my bank savings, that currently earn 0.1% interest. Easily achieved. Then I wanted to see 5% over a year - again, with some careful selections, already achieved. After that, I set a new goal of seeing my ISA fees covered for the year -already achieved, but then FT changed the goalposts with their new fee structure, but I’m still OK for the fees to be covered over the year.
I don’t particularly focus on quarterly or biannual, or any dividend payout schedule, so some months are not very lucrative, and others are quite nice! September looks to be the best yet, with predicted total dividends of over £60. That, on its own, will cover a year’s Standard subscription fees (£4.99 per month)
At the moment, assuming all pay the predicted dividends, I’m looking at close to £200 per year, and that will only grow as I reinvest and add to it every month.
Hope that made sense - It’s been a rough few weeks with job redundancy, 2 weeks of covid, and now about to start a new job… I may be a little brain fogged.

All US stocks? I’ve stuck to UK up to now, mainly for the tax implications. I shall watch them and think on it! Thank you

Same here, all mine are UK only. The monthly payer I have is BCPT but with another broker as I can’t have it in my ISA with Freetrade (yet, it is a REIT). Also, I was buying NBMI, until it was classed as specialised, so I am unable to top up (until further notice).

I have been raising the addition of the ticker to EVERYTHING for a while now.
Not 100% sure but if FT only deal in instruments traddd on an Exchange, doesnt that imply everything avaikable on FT has a ticker?

Question does the dividends that come into the freetrade account show up on the chart which shows if your up or down?
They are included on the main portfoilio chart as that shows the total value of the account. but they aren’t on an individual stocks price chart

Has anyone own or got an opinion on Ares Capital and Newtek Business Services?
Both high in yield and risk.
