Number of stocks in a Portfolio

[cannew]

I have 8 categories with a total of 48 stocks to track. However, many are the same company so the total number of company stocks is 21. There are two I would like to sell if the price rises a bit and there is one company which is being bought out by another I own (BCE is buying the rest of BA). So I really only invest in 18 stocks (no bonds, mutuals, etf, preferreds) which I will hold, probably forever.
