Your last investment?

Don't know if this counts as an investment.

I took profits from my Moneybox App General Investment Account and started a 52 week £1 challenge in reverse which is saved in an instant access savings account. I do it every year starting around the start of the tax year.

For a 52 week challenge write down the numbers of the weeks from 1 to 52 and the number of the week is the multiple you save that week. I do it in reverse so this week I saved £52 and that reduces every week until week 1 when I save £1. Can be done for any amount not necessarily £1.

Having realised that following the large gains made in the past year we have far more invested then we are likely to need to spend in our remaining years I am re-organising our portfolio from:

75% Equity Growth
20% High Yield Income
5% Bonds etc

to
40% Equity Growth
30% High Yield Income
30% Wealth Preservation

That special dividend is humungous! I guess the share price will drop by about the same amount when it goes XD?

I'll be very happy if it doesn't.

My last investment was in BT group PLC, back in February, after a sharp price drop. It's a company which had been on my radar for a year or two. I'm aware that it can be risky to buy after a price drop - sometime more bad news comes out- but I plan to hold this for 15+ years and will take what comes over that time.

But actually my last two trades have been sales, because no-one ever went broke taking a profit. I'm currently 50% in cash, sitting on the sidelines for a while.

Linton I'd be interested to hear about your wealth preservation strategy?

Tis a changing beast. From the 1st June will start migrating from an investment trust to a corporate structure. Who'll benefit from the change? The management or shareholders.

Yep, I'll divert the dividend elsewhere and see how the remaining wreckage develops. My only consolation is at least it'll be a tax free payout.

I had 100% of my private pension in equities, about a week ago I changed it to 80% equities and 20% bonds. Partly to add diversity and also because I'm betting that when the crash does come the bonds won't crash by as much as the equities.

Just a punt, because I was bored.

when is it a good time to sell off my remaining value/dividends stocks? i feel rate hikes will really cause these stocks to underperform the market.

Was about a week late so missed a fair bit of growth, but am hoping for more growth by the time the next set of results are released.
