Divy stocks infoJust wanted to have a peak on the board of the stock I own since April 2017.
Recent performance I can agree with you, not to good. I read some posts here and must say I was lucky to buy DIV at $2.20.....and keeping it till it bounce back Aug 2017. Since then I enjoy a 10% div each year. on my investment. For those who purchased last couple of years it wasn't too good. Even when receiving your monthly Divy the stock price drop makes the investment negative. My point, always check if your stock price can monthly bounce back and not lose your divy gain.
Same with DE.V....looks good but unless you bought in Dec 2018...it is negative investment.
I recently added a REIT : NXR /UN.V, The stock price isn't gaining much but since price is stable the 8% /year div is a regular income instead of negative investment.
If some of you are looking at Stockcharts for trend / momentum for divy stocks......always put underscore before the symbol .....wich removes the divy effect.
