I was excited to receive my very first BNS dividend in October and soon I'll be seeing my first TD as well. Keep on adding to your dividend payers and be amazed this time next year at your YOY growth.

Also the nice thing is, I could stop now and those dividends would keep on paying more over time for no new effort :)<br /><br />@Anon For the most part I make sure that my purchases are at least $500+, which keeps my cost of trading at 1% or less, since each trade is ~$5. The low trading cost lets me invest and put to work smaller amounts. When I first opened my account I had 10 free trades so I started many smaller positions for the instant diversification. Also, ETF purchases are free, so I sometimes I buy just a few of those when I don't have enough capital for a stock investment. Thanks for stopping by and asking.<br />Dividend Wisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628207037231908519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194877769644312243.post-48166098819090817712014-11-03T15:03:58.330-05:002014-11-03T15:03:58.330-05:00Hi - just curious as to when you buy new positions...Hi - just curious as to when you buy new positions. Do you have a minimum amount you need to save before you invest? I ask because I am curious about the cost to trade small amounts. I personally usually wait until I have at least $1000.00 to make a purchase, so that the trading costs are minimal. Do you have any similar amount, or do you just put your money to work right away regardless of trading costs?
