When you all buy a stock how much do you normally throw in? Realizing I have a few where I’ve thrown 2-5k are worth my time. While throwing 200 doesn’t do anything. Great if it goes up 100p but that’s just 200

How much coin you got

$2-$5k

In my portfolio that is under six figures I traditionally have about 3-9k in long term holds and 500-3k in shorter term plays

It depends if I can sell covered calls then I will buy at least 100 shares. Usually, 1k-3k. If it’s not, then I’ll buy gradually on red days for the stocks I am interested in.

I aim for a new stock position to be 18-20k. A spec play might be $10k. Those mounts limit risk on any one position but are large enough that I’m not flippant about what I buy.

Just over half my portfolio is designated for individual stocks so I’m targeting for 20-25 stocks. Ideally I’d have fewer still...
