That's great, and suggests that you have the temperament to stick with it. I'm almost 8 years into my DG journey, and I still get excited watching the dividends roll in.

Couldn't agree more. While your portfolio is small, don't worry much about balance and diversification -- put your money into the best companies presenting the best opportunities at the moment.
