I am in the next quarter and so decide I can add another £1,000 to my SelfTrade dealing account to purchase more shares.
Since my last purchase the following dividends were received:
HSBC Holdings Plc £14.87
BP Plc £17.36
Royal Dutch Shell 'B' £15.97
GlaxoSmithKline £13.68
My last purchase of BT shares are down about 15% so I decided to top up and buy another 339 shares in BT. This will bring my holding up to 618 shares.
It is difficult sometime to purchase more shares in a company has dropped since purchasing them. My portfolio consists of FTSE100 shares, all currently paying dividends. I do have one other share in the portfolio also down about 15%, Centrica. This was my September 2015 - Investment No 7 purchase. However I hold shares also in SSE which is in the same sector so did not want to increase my holding. BT is in a different sector to my other shares, so this is why I decided on this company over Centrica.
