A very good method to build a new portfolio IMO.  Don't feel obliged to round them all out just because you bought a few random shares.

Thanks, yeah good advice.

Even though I'm aiming for growth, I do like the idea of having some dividend producers, with dividend reinvestment turned off, that I can redirect towards the growth equities every quarter.
