Navigating Stock Diversification
Deciding how many stocks to hold in a portfolio can be challenging, particularly for new investors. A suggested strategy involves maintaining a concentration of 10 to 20 stocks, enabling individuals to capitalize on their winners without spreading themselves too thin. Holding too many stocks can lead to inefficiencies, where performance is diluted, preventing investors from realizing the full potential of their best-performing assets. It’s essential to rebalance portfolios periodically, disposing of underperforming stocks, to ensure investment capital is effectively working towards maximum returns.
