RE: Number of Stocks in a Portfolio? - KenBob - 05-30-2015
I believe you should have a goal of 30 to 50 stocks; however, these stocks should be accumulated over time. If you want instant diversification, the only option is an ETF.
I have a core group of 30 stocks which I follow. As money becomes available, I invest in the stock which has the best value at that time up to an amount of $10,000 (as adjusted by weighting). This forces the diversification process, while investing in the best value first. The stocks that exceed the $10,000 limit are not trimmed, but are allowed to ride.
When these 30 stocks all reach the limit, more stocks may be added or the limit increased.
