Who puts X dollars a month into a single company? Or even if she is adjusting different companies, it still really isn't a common application.


Tons of people. Especially if you are buying your own companies, at a discounted rate.

Using robo investing putting a flat amount on a regular basis to exclusively say GE or Disney doesn't seem to be a common application.

As described in the OP, mutual funds would be more common usage, which isn't affected by the provision as I understand it.

I am far more interested in the "assumed long term capital gains rate of 25%" than mandating lot order of stock for general investors. Where did that come from?
