Well put.
I "balanced" my portfolio by cutting Snakk which was my worst performer and putting what was left and some cash into HNZ and increased my holding.
Is this called "averaging up"????
I am still new(ish) to shares investing and I appreciate the advice and experiences that you wise ST heads share.

So keep buying Heartland if you are comfortable.
A risky approach.................but well calculated with all the available advice and info available in this instance.
Thats what I've done , until as Percy states HNZ gives me cause to become nervous.

One million shares just traded at $1.36 !! Stock still trades cum divvy so really the buyer only paid $1.33. I noticed the small Aussie banks doing well with SP gains yesterday.

Roger - they paid $1.36 not $1.33 as when they go xd they will likely lose 3c in value!

Yeah that's my point Tim. They're getting 3 cents back in 5 minutes time so to speak, and yes I agree they will probably temporarily drop by 3 cents. If you take a medium term view really their net entry cost is $1.33. The buyer is probably working out the pretty compelling earnings and dividend metrics off their net entry price. In effect they're working a dividend strip here and all the evidence I've seen is that's a valid strategy that often provides short term outperformance gains

Roger - dividend stripping, that's one from way back people used BIL as a favourite to try that tactic, does work better in bull market, but often when a stock goes xd it drops by more than the value of dividend so as a short term play its risky but over say 12 months & a few days might be okay as a dividend strip.

One stock in a strong uptrend. One stock at the bottom (maybe?) of a downtrend. The trend is your friend.
