Easy Equities good or bad?

Not really. Just basic dividend payout as per your current holdings.

What would be nice (for me personally), a flag which say this is dividend earning or not.

Expected Dividends​

Estimating the future dividends of a company can be a complex task. Analysts and investors may make certain assumptions, or try to identify trends based on past dividend payment history to estimate future dividends.


One can assume that the company has a fixed growth rate of dividends until perpetuity, which refers to a constant stream of identical cash flows for an infinite amount of time with no end date.2 For example, if a company has paid a dividend of $1 per share this year and is expected to maintain a 5% growth rate for dividend payment, the next year’s dividend is expected to be $1.05.


Alternatively, if one spot a certain trend—like a company making dividend payments of $2.00, $2.50, $3.00 and $3.50 over the last four years—then an assumption can be made about this year’s payment being $4.00. Such an expected dividend is mathematically represented by (D).

I think we are over complicating things now. All I am saying, if a DIV payout is soon, show what the value would be. I use sharenet daily, and need to calculate min taxes what it would be. Anyway, just 2c (it would be nice)

Just saw this one, should be easier to use in excel
 
I prefer shares that show capital growth above dividends.
For example, if you take a R100 share that pays out a R3 div per year and the price remains constant, compared to a share where the price increases by R3 per year, you would pay more tax on the div share

Unless you've bought said share in a TFSA :sneaky:
 
Should one still hold or pull out seeing how everything going for the crapper?
Will 2023 recoup or only getting worse...

Sell and buy again on a cheaper price?

So far I could have kept my money under a coach and it would have been better off... earning 6% - 8% interest on through tymebank last two years netted 15K VS stock market -R5K? Actually losing money...

You only realise losses when selling.

Changing your strategy on the fly because you are emotional about a low market is exactly how people lose their wealth.

Yes, I understand this. But things can go worse and never recoup...

Example: MSCI CHICA: though I thought great when it was going down and, guess what things can get worse?

If you took anything less than a 5 year view of your investments then you started it wrong.

More realistically 10-15 years and then review if you should pull the plug or not.

We are still in the dip after Covid. It’s a blip on the longer term radar.

If you want to change anything then change the direction of new investment, don’t touch what you’ve already invested and especially not at a loss.

Which is why diversifying is important. Everything shouldn’t be in the shitter at once if done properly.

I do not have one, but I know stock market they say keep 10 - 20 years. But surely you want to see gains?
otherwise you can just keep it the bank and get about the same gains with surety? only goes up without the negative. All seems like a gamble end of the day?

That is what I thought, I just bought at the wrong time and it will take even longer now because of that.

Trouble is then you lose out on the resource shares.
But in principle you are right, dividends are not magic free money like some think.

True, High risk High gain, low Risk more secure but steady? I thought yes sure take a gamble... It is called high risk for a reason.

You actually seem quite nervous and anxious tbh. You must be ironclad so that even if 50% of your portfolio goes south (as it did with covid), you stick with it because the fundamentals track true over the long term.

You need to have a very diverse portfolio, both in geographies and sectors. Equities, real-estate and bonds (if you're toward the retiring age).

The market fluctuates, but in the long term you will win if you're invested in diverse assets.

What @SauRoNZA says is true. If you have conviction in your strategy, then bear periods are definitely opportune times to buy. There are exceptions, but follow the fundamentals and you'll be fine.

Are you investing in index funds? Personally, I don't stock pick, because I don't have the time or the acumen. I stick with indexes for pretty much everything.
