Just to highlight klf 0 comment . If your trade cost is $ 5 stock , your initial buy would be 40 x $ 5 $ 200 , so 2 % of your capital just for initial transaction costs . It ' s important to diversify , but do so more as your portfolio grows . For instance you could do just 10 of those stocks now , and then buy additional as you put in more capital . Also look into DRIP as another mechanism to minimize transaction costs . <| sep |> Just letting you know that your Stufful is in a Heal Ball , not a Love Ball . Edit I ' m still fine with the trade since I can use the Egg Moves and Pikipek is easy to breed . Thanks . <| sep |> When I say scale , what I ' m talking about is the ratio of carbs and fat , presumed to be fairly constant , not moving around So , if you eat carbsfat at a certain ratio , your body will become adapted to that ratio . The more fat % in your diet , the more fat adaptation you get .
