Special note: I have been questioned many times from my followers and readers on how exactly can a small investor invest in these five stocks when the prices of the shares are so high. The simple solution is to use the investment services of Motif Investing, where a small investor can create their own portfolio of up to 30 stocks with a minimum investment of $250.

I'd really like to own UA at some point. They just haven't exactly fit my style yet but I don't mind owning a couple of growth companies like V that pay smalller dividends.
ReplyDeleteHow do you like Motif? I've made a few purchases in my account already, so far I like it.
Cheers!
Allan, believe it or not I have not pulled the trigger on a "Motif", I did reach out to them however to explain pricing and they were very informative. I believe that they do not re-invest dividends automatically, but you would have to verify with them...I will say that I absolutely love the ideas of creating your own Motif and I think in the coming year I may just take a dip. Thanks for the comment and the great blog, I read it every week.
