The reason why I, who have a stance of not buying individual stocks, wanted to buy individual stocks

I had a strategy of long-term accumulating investments focusing on indexes such as Orkan and bonds, without buying individual stocks. However, there was a trigger that made me want to buy individual stocks.

Speaking of the company, it is Meiji Holdings.

The reason is that I want to support Meiji Group's pharmaceutical business company called Meiji Seika Pharma.

They are developing the latest vaccine for COVID-19, and I want to support and cheer for their strong stance against misinformation and interference.

I also enjoy drinking Meiji's milk and eating ice cream, but I recently realized that supporting by buying shares is also a way of showing encouragement.

It feels similar to contributing money to crowdfunding.

Since it seems like they are not individually listed, I think I will buy shares of the holding company.

I consider the purpose of my investments as "asset formation", and this remains unchanged.

Considering the goal of "asset formation", I will continue with the same stance of long-term regular investment diversification. Specifically, I will continue to accumulate Orkan in the NISA and also hold some bonds.

My investment in Meiji is not for "asset formation" but for supporting activities.

I plan to make a single purchase with a shot.

I am also happy to receive snacks through shareholder benefits.

I would be happy if the stock price goes up, but I am not going to buy at such a high price, and the impact on the overall portfolio is minimal.

So far, we have been talking about "buying", but there is one problem.

"I don't have the funds."

"I don't have the money to buy." (Sweating)

Did I just trip?

You can also purchase fractional shares, but since you are already here, you probably want to buy 100 shares, right?

In that case, you would need 3.56 million yen.

Hmm, what should I do?

I am a freelancer, but my wallet is a bit cold due to gaps in projects.

It's not impossible if I push myself, but what should I do...

I might borrow from the Small Business Mutual Aid... but it still won't be enough.

I wonder if I should start saving regularly for the purchase of Meiji shares.

So, I felt like buying individual stocks.

I'll work hard to save up some seed money.
