As a result the top of my top-up table now looks like this:
Top-up Income Cost
Rank EPIC Rank EPIC % Income Rank Epic % Cost
1 IMB 1 TW. 6.00% 1 PSON 4.28%
2 VOD 2 RDSB 4.90% 2 RDSB 4.28%
3 BLT 3 MARS 4.55% 3 SGRO 4.27%
4 BT.A 4 SSE 4.38% 4 LLOY 4.24%
5 MARS 5 BP. 4.33% 5 MARS 4.16%
6 ADM 6 RIO 3.87% 6 CLLN 4.11%
7 SSE 7 VOD 3.73% 7 SSE 4.02%
8 S32 8 LGEN 3.73% 8 AV. 4.02%
9 BLND 9 ADM 3.69% 9 MKS 3.86%
10 LLOY 10 GSK 3.63% 10 BLT 3.78%
11 UU. 11 MKS 3.52% 11 LGEN 3.66%
12 BP. 12 AV. 3.51% 12 BP. 3.59%
As usual, I disqualify any share where topping it up by 20% would take the share of income and the share of cost above 5%. This means that MARS, SSE, LLOY and BP. are excluded. However the top four in the ranking qualify and my next top up can be expected to be Imperial Group (IMB), probably next week. After that it will be about the turn of the year before sufficient dividends will have accumulated.
