Weighting

[earthtodan]

I came up with a weighting system where I don't have to decide on a percentage, or adjust other positions to make them add up to 100%. I just decide how much I like the stock, enter that rating on a scale of 1-5, and my spreadsheet divides up the positions into percentages.

I have a long growth timeframe, so I haven't quite figured out what to do when different positions grow out of proportion to their target allocations.
