I've been frustrated this week watching CAML:Central Asia Metals share price slide. Tomorrow is ex-dividend date and with the thumping great yield I thought the price would rise into it.
This hasn't been the case, and the price has drifted downwards from about 266p a few weeks ago to 232p today. It was 340p this time last year and things have only got better!
I couldn't watch that happen and not take advantage.
I'm sure the gold price will head northwards at some time soon, but that's been drifting lately too, so I decided to take advantage of the dip in CAML:Central Asia Metals price to buy some more before the dividend payout.
I sold my holding in PAF:Pan African Resources. 19,180 shares originally purchased at 7.375p and sold at 8.894p made a profit of £248.34 (17.6%). It's not a massive amount, but it's still a profit and freed up £1,700 for investing in CAML:Central Asia Metals.
I bought 724 shares at 232.945p costing £1,698.47 with commission. This brings my total holding to 3,672 shares at a weighted average price of 192.123p. costing £7,129 and currently making £1,414 (20%) paper profit, but if you add the £986 dividends that comes to 34%, and will be even more after this next dividend is paid. The new shares will get me an extra £57.92 dividend, taking the total I receive next month to £293 which will cover my monthly SIPP fees for a few years.
At the moment I plan to sell £1,700 worth of these when the price goes up, if the price of PAF:Pan African Resources has gone down, as I'm keen to re-invest there. However I've always been a little nervous about the risk of PAF:Pan African Resources. It's one that could double in very short time, but just as easily collapse. There has been civil unrest at the mine in the past and it could easily spark off again.
Prior to today I would have been chucking more cash at CEY:Centamin, but a great Q1 update today caused the share price to climb 12.8%, so I suspect the crowds will come rushing back and the price will get back to where it should be, well above 100p. I think that's likely to happen before I'm able to sell the CAML:Central Asia Metals shares. Having said that, CAML:Central Asia Metals is so utterly brilliant I may just leave them where they are. They have enough cash to take on another acquisition, and it could start snowballing from there. If the share price gets to a sensible level then the dividend is likely to stay the same or increase, and with my average purchase price the return will be huge. A perfect share for the SIPP.
