How many stocks in a portfolio?

[Main Street Stock Investor]

One of the benefits of holding 60+ stocks across various sectors is that at any given time there will be opportunities to sell some shares at a profit when they are overvalued and to buy others when they are undervalued. When done properly, this produces different results than holding an index ETF or index mutual fund. I also profitably trade partial positions of index ETF's several times a quarter.

Retired now, but had the same number of stocks when I was working and managed the portfolio on weekends and during my lunch break.
