When I got started on FT, I would buy and sell stocks regularly and if I sold a stock or received a dividend, immediately reinvest it. However, now, I have a portfolio of 5 stocks and did not invest for quite a few months despite having a nice chunk of dividends sitting in my account. Only in October I finally put $500 in the market again 8and thanks to the rally it paid of nicely). But now I have again a chunk of dividends sitting in my account and I am hesitant to buy anything right now.
