U knew that MRCH was a ‘dividend hero’ and u decide to buy the yield, u would have been concerned that the price might keep falling but u were content with the yield. Your strategy is to do nothing apart from re-invest the dividends back into the Trust. U may not have bought the first breakout but Mr. Market gave u several opportunities to buy a position.

If u invested 10k, u would have shares worth 20k plus but let’s stick with 20k.

The current share price is 582p and the dividend is 28.4p a yield of 4.8%.

A buying yield of 9.6% a running yield of 4.8%.

U could sell half of the position to invest in higher yielder or all of the position and hope to do it all again. If u buy a Trust or 2 Trusts yielding 10%, u would have income of 2k pa, a yield on your initial investment of 20% and your Snowball is starting to gain momentum. U could buy a higher yielder at a discount, a belt and braces trade and wait for Trust prices to recover. If they don’t u can buy even more shares at bargain prices.

Remember to DYOR as dividends aren’t guaranteed.
