Re: Young Folk Portfolio ... Add on purchase. Today I added to IRM. A full position in this portfolio is $6,000. Today's add on purchase brought the value of IRM up to $3,652, just above a half sized position. I added to IRM today for several reasons. The position needs to be built up in size to a full position. I wanted the high 5.62% yield it provides. And on July 9 Hedgeye added IRM as a new best idea. Some of the holdings in this portfolio are set up for dividend reinvestment, others the dividends are collected in cash and invested selectively. IRM is basically a dividend reinvestment play for now. The high yield should help assist in building the share count more easily.
