| | | As we often say around here on this board, we all have different goals and different ways to reach them... no right or wrong answers.
In my case, and I don't even suggest it's the right way to perceive it, I just don't care about the share price as long as they keep paying, raising the distributions annually... at over 5% current yield, my dripping is meeting my chowder number requirements for a regulated ute... also, since I've had it a long time, still seeing a decent total return and double digit cap gains/price appreciation despite the recent drops... as I recall, during the great recession, these were the exact conditions that ended up doubling my income from dist. because the drips were getting twice as many shares per quarter as normal expectations would have suggested... I like share price drops on drips as long as the dist. keeps rising. My original investment in D is earning well over 10% YOC.
Having said the above, that's fine with me and for my goals, but not so good for others with different goals and methodologies, so to all I say: good luck and I hope you achieve what you need -- or even better: what you want. |
