Heh, "small" is all relative. I decided to come up with "official" terminology for my position sizes a while back:
$1 - $500 watch position
$501 - $1000 starter position
$1001 - $2499 junior position
$2500 - $4999 moderate position
$5000 - $7499 full position
$7500 - $9999 large position
$10000 - $19999 major position
$20000+ principal position
5 shares of Google in my portfolio would be a Major Position, and probably my largest non-ETF one too.

Dare to dream? If Tuesday doesn't erase the gains, May will be my first up month of the year.

My largest tech position.

Added to CBRL, KMI, STOR, & KEY.

i'm a big believer in tech (i'm kind of in the tech industry) and have been adding and adding to tech for a while--between the 2020 covid19 pandemic and the market downturn i've been accumulating in a big way
june first will be a portfolio update--i'll have to find that thread--the 2022 portfolio--i think we did it?? can't remember
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - ken-do-nim - 05-31-2022
Just a geeky thing, but in analyzing my dividend returns over the weekend, I realized that I finally achieved each month getting at least $500 in dividends. July and January are my two lowest months, but have now crested over to $502.13 each. Huzzah!
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - Marknew - 05-31-2022
New positions in CEG and BMY

Love hitting those milestones. Congrats!
RE: What I Am Buying Today. - cemanuel - 05-31-2022
Used my unspent cash from selling WHR a little while back plus accumulated dividends to add LYB at $115.88. At least 2/3 of the shares are temporary to collect the dividends. The other third could take me to a full position if I want, which I may.
I find this sort of dividend harvest much easier when it's with a stock I like. Not gonna break my heart if I get stuck with an overweight position in it for a while. Not saying buying to hold it temporarily just for the big upcoming payout is wrong. It's just not something I would likely do.

Never stop reaching for the eventual victory.
