yea, i understand but imho, amzn/fb/googl are decent buys even at these levels--especially to start a foundation of stocks

looking at it as adding little by little

pico y pico

No diversification, shame on you Ray!

Fenders--HAHA--you're right!!

APPL
AMAT
ABBV
MGA
TD
AMT

or

AMZN
BABA
PLTR
SOFI
TTD
TDOC


i know...dividends vs no dividends


i actually own positions in all except AMT and TTD


but for long term, imho, all will be winners

I like most of those, but some are chapter two for a new investor you are trying to teach the concept of DGI.  I wouldn't bet the whole farm on one strategy though.  A full decade will come out of nowhere and make it feel like you don't know what you are doing.  Just a couple extra % in AVG annual returns from a few growth stocks will make a lot of difference in your port balance in just 20 years.

agree 100% that's why i have a mix of both

when young though i see no issue building a good base of solid growth stocks--however, certain stocks considered growth might be ready or soon within the next decade or so to enter their next phase from growth to solid blue chip...one that comes to mind is amazon
