or would you guys recommending putting all 6000 into 1 stock?
Depends what the rest of your portfolio looks like, but I'd be more inclined to dump it all into JNJ or KO
What would be the reason for going for larger allocation? The transaction fees currently free and even then they are a nominal .05% fee for diversification.
My current portfolio:
2000 in each:
RY.TO - Bank
BNS.TO - Bank
BMO.TO - Bank
CM.TO - Bank
CU.TO - Util
FTS - Util
ENB.TO - Energy
RCI.B - Telecom
BCE - Telecom
TRP - Industrial
CNR - Railroad
REF.UN - Reit
9000 - VUN - US etf
9000 - XEF - INTL etf
