If you think owning shares is easy, you are mistaken. It’s said that ‘ Equities climb a wall of worry’.

If you had been clever/lucky enough to have built up a 100k position in LWDB over many years, from the end of February to 23 March the share fell 15%, that’s a hole in your retirement pot of 15k, in just 3 weeks. If you are using the dividend to pay your grocery bill, LWDB paid when the price was £12.00 a dividend of 3%. 3k a year, as the price fell the yield rose so income was still 3k a year.

With hindsight it was a great trading opportunity, be prepared for the next market crash.
