I will post my dividend paying stock portfolio on a quarterly basis. It doesn’t change that much so I don’t see a need to update more frequently than that. If you would like to know what other stocks I have just let me know. I like to exchange investing ideas with others.
I periodically change the mix of stocks. Rather than outright sell a stock I typically stop buying shares in it and add a new one to my portfolio. I buy almost all of my stocks through a dollar cost averaging approach. I am a huge proponent of investing this way, especially in a volatile market like we have now. It allows you to purchase more shares of a stock when the price is low and less when it’s high. Dollar cost averaging is a way for individual investors to buy a small amount of stocks and EFTs without having to commit a large sum of money for an initial investment.
Finally, in a future post I will discus how I invest through dollar cost averaging. Just to give you an idea I use a combination of a traditional broker, Direct Stock Purchase Plans (DSPPs) and Dividend Reinvestment Plans (DRIPs).
