Topped up BT.A
Posted: October 5th, 2017, 11:50 am
Having accumulated dividends burning a hole in my electronic pocket, today BT.A was favoured with a top up at 280p. I added just under 20% more to my existing holding, moving it from 30th to 23rd position when ranked by holding value.
As a result the top of my top-up table now looks like this:
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.
