When I do have funds, I have been investing with a different philosophy. I make a goal, which generally consists of a certain amount of shares of a certain amount of companies, and all new funds go into making that goal, and right now these goals take me about 2 years to fill. Then onto the next goal. I don't deviate from the goal because some other stock is suddenly cheap. I mean, maybe I should; I'm just noticing a difference between how I'm operating and the rest of the board.
Yeah I like to spread my portfolio to different sectors and a basket of stock. I also keep dry powder to buy new names on big dips. I dont own 100 shares or 200 shares in a company. I keep it to a minimal and no more then 30 shares in each to minimize big losses. For instance I have 32 shares of META at an average price of $79. Not a bad return lol
And I keep no more then 5 stocks in a sector, and only buy the upper tier ones. I stay away from the smaller players
My watch list if full of companies I look for to buy if they hit my target price.
Today I added LLY, ABBV and MA. Those are now at 24 shares each.
My biggest losser is ADBE right now. But I'm not too worried about that one
