I haven't researched it.  Hadn't heard of it until you and Otter were discussing it last week.  I am trying to not add too many more new names.  We'll see how long that lasts. 

What I need is for tech to get hammered for real again, but this market is resilient.

Very small trades this morning.  Added a few shares to DG-ARKF  Sold a few SLV puts.

That brings it up to a full position in the portfolio.

I'm curious what full position means for you.  I've been thinking about these definitions for myself:

Starter position: ~ $250 (obviously some stocks don't even qualify if 1 share is higher than that)
Junior position: $2,000
Full position: $5,000
Major position: $10,000

My portfolio is worth ~$100,000 and I have 50 positions in the portfolio, which means that a "full" or "equal-weight" position is worth $2,000.

This buy brought my HD position up to $1958, which is close enough to me to consider it full now.

Ah makes sense.  And congrats on the "pooled dividends purchase".  Hopefully I'll be able to join you in making similar purchases in June-ish when my first real dividends start rolling in too.

Some context is helpful when attempting to decipher comments here.  Some of us will tell you via PM now that you've contributed enough to know you aren't here to steal our SS number.    Some of Eric's portfolios are public so it's no secret.  Even though my port is fairly large, when I say I "nibbled" it really means just that.   I added 2 or five shares and probably just catching a dip on a stock I like.  Maybe only a couple hundred bucks.  If I say "full position", it means I am watching earnings calls and doing DD because I'm not going to be happy at all if it pulls back 25% because I was reckless investing without DD.  A lot of junk stocks get bought on hype with next to no real DD on this thread for recreation.  Never assume it was a big bet just because you read it here. There are folks here that have done considerable DD for a couple share purchase. I'm appreciative that they share.
