Welcome to the forum, JD. It's great to have you, and this is a great resource to bounce ideas off each other. You might not want to buy one share of stock at a time, or even a set amount. If you want to go that route, then consider setting up a DSP through Computershare, where you can buy set amounts ($25, $50, etc) of certain stocks (XOM, etc) with little (less than a dollar) or no commissions. If you're going to pay commissions, then you might want to do larger purchases less often. Just my two cents.
