I think such a minimum is only a plus for the project. Today, many people have become poor after 2017. Because such a low entry threshold is good, whoever has money then invests more.
I agree. If you buy any amount. You can still buy more. There are these accounts in the US called DRIP accounts. They are investment account on in stocks that pay dividends. And the way it works it that you buy some of the stock be it only $200 work and it is always in stocks that pay dividends. So when ever a dividend is paid by the stock you own that dividend money is set to automatically buy more of the same stock. This account is made to be a long term account. One that younger people invest in. It was presented to college students. So the point of it is that you just leave it alone and let it sit there for 20 plus years or when you are ready to retired. 20, 30 or 40 years later with all those dividends being reinvested you may be surprised how much it is worth then.
Unfortunately not many people think that long term.
You are right Gary. You raised a very important topic - this is our future and our pension. I believe there is a huge incentive to buy such shares in the future, perhaps we will have a comfortable and secure old age. As I understand it, a compound percentage is used when the first dividends arrive.
