BlackRock Science and Technology Trust Stock Forum

$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$
I bought more Microsoft after selling my entire positions in $BlackRock Science and Technology Trust (BST.US)$ and $Blackrock Enhanced International Dividend Trust (BGY.US)$ . I had a good run with these two, but its time to change horses. My timing was good, as i caught the bottom of today’s dip. Microsoft is a company that I own instead of trading. Probably won’t sell any for the next two decades.

$BlackRock Science and Technology Trust (BST.US)$ is a science and technology fund with the largest investment firm in the world that aims to generate income and growth for holders. The expense ratio is inflated, but historical returns are also inflated; beating out one of the most popular tech growth funds QQQ. If you saw my last post on DIVO, you will see similarities in the sense that both DIVO & BST provide 5% dividend yields with solid growth over time. DIVO is diversified pretty evenly across the ten sectors of the S&P 500 while BST is specifically a science and technology fund. This explains BST's great returns since its inception in 2014 as we have been in a bull run lead by tech growth. Whether that will continue is anyone's guess. If you are more risk adverse BST probably is not the best choice. However, it is clear that BST has proven itself as a beast for both dividend income and growth in the science and technology space.
