A Little Bit Can Go A Long Way
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi Everyone,</p> <p>My main investing account is with another brokerage but I decided to set up a mini side portfolio with Robinhood (I know there are issues with Robinhood but it will work fine for what I'm doing). Since I want the majority of my money going towards my main account, I came up with a budget for my situation that will pretty much be unnoticeable in terms of DCA.</p> <p>I am starting with $100 and splitting it evenly between AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, and TSLA so $20 on each of them. Then I'm setting a recurring investment of $1 for each of them weekly so $5/week or around $22/month. So it's pretty much the cost of a streaming service monthly. </p> <p>I back tested this scenario and was surprised to see how much it actually grew - from the initial $100 to $43.5k over the last 10yrs with just adding $22/month! I'm not expecting these companies to continue at the same growth rate moving forward but I am happy with my picks and obviously it can be adjusted based on preferences but I thought you all might like to see this scenario especially if you're young and don't have a lot of capital to put in.</p> <p><a href="https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&timePeriod=4&startYear=1985&firstMonth=1&endYear=2021&lastMonth=12&calendarAligned=true&includeYTD=false&initialAmount=100&annualOperation=1&annualAdjustment=22&inflationAdjusted=true&annualPercentage=0.0&frequency=2&rebalanceType=1&absoluteDeviation=5.0&relativeDeviation=25.0&reinvestDividends=true&showYield=false&showFactors=false&factorModel=3&portfolioNames=false&portfolioName1=Portfolio+1&portfolioName2=Portfolio+2&portfolioName3=Portfolio+3&symbol1=AAPL&allocation1_1=20&symbol2=AMZN&allocation2_1=20&symbol3=GOOGL&allocation3_1=20&symbol4=MSFT&allocation4_1=20&symbol5=TSLA&allocation5_1=20">Back Testing Here</a></p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/mike_oc23"> /u/mike_oc23 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/pkocvt/a_little_bit_can_go_a_long_way/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/pkocvt/a_little_bit_can_go_a_long_way/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
