I take the PYAD approach to buy and not tinker, however, as you will see with my weightings, they are not particularly even (especially ULVR). Although my approach is more hands off, I am getting an itch to start ‘pickering’ (thanks Ian and looking forward to the day when ‘pickering’ is in the Oxford dictionary).
My HYP is as follows:
Code: Select all
AstraZeneca 2.71%
Aviva 3.36%
BHP Billiton 1.41%
BP 4.83%
British Land 5.49%
BT 8.69%
Carillion 4.07%
Centrica 3.32%
GlaxoSmithKline 7.57%
HSBC 2.95%
Lloyds 4.05%
National Grid 11.05%
Royal Dutch Shell 'B' 5.47%
Sainsbury 3.83%
Tesco 3.29%
Unilever 20.13%
United Utilities 7.79%
I’m looking to add a new share (not interested in tobacco or weapons) and have the following on my watchlist:
Greene King – first choice.
Diageo – Dividend too low.
Pearson – questionable future?
SSE – already have some utes.
L&G – could pair up with Aviva?
Royal Mail – not a long dividend history.
Builders – quite cyclical.
So please feel free to comment. Unsure whether to picker and even up my weightings or just go with strategic ignorance (to an extent), and any advice on a new share would be appreciated.
Thanks!
