CTY

If you want to buy CTY, looking at their history gives you some guidance, if e.g. you want to buy at 5% plus you may never have a position.

During the covid crash, you could have bought around £2.80 and the yield would have been 6.5%.

Now 1.5% – currently 2.5%, if you intend to buy and hold forever it makes a big difference to your SNOWBALL. Of course it’s always easier with hindsight but if you bought the yield, you would have a position, even though the price might have fallen further.

If you want to trade a higher yielder but want to add some safety to your snowball, you could pair trade with a lower yielder to achieve a blended yield of 7%.
