Mine are all red bar a few like money gram etc which are still +20% the S n p is still in green other than that pretty much every other stocks red hehe.
Like I have said on other posts with 100 pounds a month it doesnāt get you far and to actully reach out and buy a few stocks all around the globe I would need more cash or else wait months until I have enough to buy all or buy one stock one month and the others the next but I feels a long wait, so s n p are my go to for now with rio and any change left was random others uk100 etc
IMO Ā£100 a month is a lot of money. In my early stages of investing I would have used it to buy a pooled Fund be it an ETF, Investment trust or a unit trust. Freetrade doesnāt sell Unit trusts. So certainly easy to diversify from the get go if you want to. Few individual stocks is a risky business.
Sounds like most of his money is going on ETFs, eg S&P, FTSE 100, with the loose change going on individual shares, so getting all his Ā£100 working for him!
Yes the majority of my fund is in the rio, uk100, snp500 and all world, then I have admiral, Drax, meggitt, and a few others, with a big loss in MGC Pharma. I fell for the penny stock trap lol
In total I have 22 stocks but many are single buys or some left over free shares with the majority of the cash in 8 shares out of the 22.
If youāre looking to build a portfolio which pays a āmonthly incomeā, selecting only companies which pay monthly dividends is one way to go but there arenāt that many to choose from.
Over time however, if you invest in various companies/investments which pay dividends at different times of the year, you can end up getting income every month - most companies pay out quarterly.
Thanks for reply. I have done some research on this-I invested in 10 companies now and most pay quarterly-however i can still get a monthly small income which is great. I am diversifying my portfolio too which makes it more interesting,
Also answering your question, I hold Balanced Commercial Property Trust Ltd (BCPT) which pays monthly. Share price has been decimated recently, yield is 5.4% but this REIT is currently trading at 48.34% discountā¦
Unfortunately not. What you can do in the near future, after the release of the export feed to csv feature, is to import the dividend data into your spreadsheet and generate your graphs.
To be honest this shouldnāt be to difficult for the Freetrade team to implement, but would increase the app size, maintenance cost and wouldnāt add any revenue. Furthermore everyone would like to have different statistics/graphs related to their investments and portfolios and Freetrade wouldnāt be able to please all the users.
I am more interested is the possibility of Freetrade to integrate with a third-party portfolio management tool (there are some threads in the forum about this), or an API where I can consume this data. Maybe in the future
Since opening my FT ISA on 30/11/21 Iāve recieved Ā£222.03 in dividends.
September this year has been my best month to date with Ā£93.87 being received.
Sure I have been heavily buying but good things happen if you stick at it.
Nowadays due to other commitments my share budget is lower, but am reaching a point where I can re invest the dividend and thereās enough there to get the snowball effect working
uk100 etc
