At the April monthly meeting of Investment we looked at shares which had excellent dividends of 6-8% (such as the big four banks and Telstra) versus their share price performance over the past twelve months. We found that several of these past dividend favourite shares had lost 9 to 15% of their capital in the past twelve months. As an alternative we found other shares (such as ASX, RIO and BHP) which had produced around 4% dividend but still had retained or even increased their share price over the past twelve months.
In the second session we looked at some information on Bonds provided by FIIG securities. This firm offers an over the counter service for buying Bonds as distinct from those Bonds which can be purchased on the Stock Exchange through your normal broker or on-line broking service.
At the May meeting of Investment we have a small follow up segment on Bonds including a You-Tube talk which has been provided by one of our members.
