I put in how many shares I bought. Maybe more will do that lol.
This way I know if your buying 1 share, 5 shares, 25, 50 or 100 shares
My strategy is to own company going forward who have little to no exposure to China and pay a yield at over 2.5%
Not sure how I feel about that. I'm nearing retirement and I suspect my port size is well above average. Most of my purchases are 100 shares because I sell puts weekly. You can tell what we are throwing down on the Conservative option thread because a position is 100 shares minimum. I would never want anyone to think I am bragging because that's not why I am here. If somebody starting out has a $10K port, and they buy a single share of AMZN, that requires one helluva lot more commitment than my much larger AMZN position. I'd like to know why they feel so confident.
I think we should encourage posts like this (some already do it) ....
-Picked up some DIS today, now a full position.
-Grabbed some LMT, I'm a bit overweight now but I really believe in this one.
-Added some JNJ, I'm building a core position I'll never sell.
-AMD is way oversold. Grabbed some and this is just a trade.
-Started a tiny position in HD, looks a little pricey and I'll add more on a dip.
-Mortgaged my house today and bought some more of this falling knife I just can't lay off of
I agree a laundry list of today's purchases means about zero without some context. I'll start complying with the above now.
Sold a new put in ADM and D today. I'll keep doing it until I finally get exercised and add to my small positions. I desire a half position in both of these high div stocks.
