Hi! Thanks for the questions!
I have no idea how far I'm from retirement. I don't have much faith in the governments retirement scheme. (even though I live in Europe) And even if financially I could do it, I don't think I would fully retire early. I know that I need something to keep me occupied, so I'd rather switch to a part time job or run my own company instead of retiring. In any case, all of this is still very far away as I'm under 30.
I don't have any set limits when it comes to how many different stocks I want to have, however between 15 and 25 sounds reasonable to me. Add 5-10 different corporate bonds into the mix and I think I'll be satisfied with that.
Raytheon is somewhere around 20% to 25% of my portfolio.
