One option is to buy an IT and hold forever and use the dividends either to re-invest in the Trust or another Trust and then when you retire use those dividends to pay your bills.

You can research the SNOWBALL for

Rule of 7/2

Dividends have been 80% of stock market returns

Warren Buffett and the 60% yield from Coca Cola

The SNOWBALL current investment criteria is a yield of 7% or above.

If you look at CTY for 3 specific news driven chart events, there could be a way of improving the yield.

A share has three phases, up, sideways, down. As you want to earn the dividends for re-investment, you need to hold whilst the share is going up and sideways but not when it’s falling. Now shares go up and down all the time, otherwise there would be no markets, you need to sit thru the market noise but be ready to act on news driven events.

You need to be careful when the share is trading below the cloud but it’s not a reason to sell. If you wanted to hold CTY for it’s long term dividend history, Mr. Market gives you the chance.

The orange candle is an inside day and is ignored for trading, so you wait for two positive candles. You can only buy at the bottom, with luck but you could have bought the yield or the second white candle.

When the market falls out of bed, you cannot wait for the price to trade above the cloud as you forfeit too much profit.

The price still traded around 300p in November but you would have banked two dividends.
