RE: HSY-"Soldier through, to what end? Sub par divie and sub par price accumulation? Better off in MM or CD's at the current time?"
Just my take. MM/CD do not increase payments by 15% per year, which is what HSY has done the past three years. A MM/CD has no capital gain. I purchased HSY 2x within the past 12 months at $181, so the price accumulation is 8% so far. Price appreciation 8%, expected income growth 10-15%, in less than a year--good news to me.
For the long-term, which is what I see in an HSY investment, I will take that anyway.
Now, I do have a HYSA earning 5.25%, so I agree, short term, that's cool and I love it. But it isn't going to stay that way.
My mind is very simple tho, so it helps me to segregate my equity investments and cash investments. They dont crossover for me, so my mind works and thinks differently if the focus is on equities v cash. |
