So only trade stocks in increments of at least $5,000? That precludes, for example, dollar cost averaging.

If you are investing like that are you really sure you are outperforming the strategy of just buying and holding of an ETF?

If you are a very sophisticated investor (and I bet some people on this forum are) maybe that works. But in general people who trade stocks for themselves at home take a bath.

Buying and holding ETFs is not incompatible with dollar cost averaging.
