You do not need to take big risks to increase your Snowball if you do some basic research to improve your knowledge.

You knew that CTY was a dividend hero, having paid an increased or level dividend for around 50 years.

You watched it fall and waited until it started to go back up and you bought at 322p, the plan being to re-invest the dividend.

You are well on the way of achieving the holy grail of investing, where you take out your stake and earn a dividend on a Trust that cost you nothing, zilch,zero.

You then buy another Trust and try do it all over again. GRS.

The buying yield was around 6%, the current yield 4.75%.

Be ready for the next market crash.
