Is Your Portfolio Well-Diversified?

During a market downturn, people often talk about the importance of diversification. 🌐 But how many stocks should you actually own to be truly diversified? 🤔 A prevailing statement is that you should plan to own 25 to 30 stocks if individual stocks are to make up the majority (50% or more) of the equity part of your portfolio. 💼 Owning at least 15 stocks helps avoid over-concentration in any single stock or sector. 📊

Good read. Taking some profit ahead of a meltdown is not easy. Buying during dips requires wisdom, resilience and patience in such volatile market. Only invest the leaders of the stocks you are familiar. Therefore newbies are advised: Do not chase the market and not to panic sell. Do not borrow to trade in the market. When the market is high, it may go higher and when it seems to be low, it could go much lower. May the market be with you!

I think 10 stocks should be enough because having too diversified does not generally mean higher profitability. Tech stocks, Healthcare, Semiconductors,  Bank, Automobile, ETF and dividend stocks. You may end up losing more if you have 25 stocks to monitor and pump in. Just for for secured stocks such as Tesla, Microsoft, Google, Apple, BrkA n B.

ETFs form my portfolio's core, providing diversification and stability. Individual stocks are my tactical overlay, delivering a daily dose of convexity and excitement - with occasional 'tuition fees' paid when I'm wrong. $Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF(QQQM)$ $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF(SPYG)$ $

15 SG stocks at the moment. I hope to add another 2-4 stocks. Thereafter, I will just add quantity to increase my dividends payout. 10 UT and 2-4 are extremely high risk ie individual country. 6 US stocks with Tiger is just “for fun” as big holding is ESPP.

I have diversified my portfolio into tech, healthcare individual as well as ETFs such as S&P 500. My portfolios are slightly positive so far. It is good to keep calm and educated during this uncertain time.

10 for concentrated diversification. higher risk but larger reward. 20 for real diversification but must distribute across different sectors. not all tech huh. 40 if you want to be like a hedge fund manager and have time to monitor...

Perhaps truly diversified in watchlist. Portfolio limited by funds and time to keep pace with everchanging market moves. Used to swing from green to red and vice versa.

I hold SPY and QQQ and some local SG bank stocks. This helps me diversify across country, currency, industry, and economy. Definitely a good way to hedge

not sure mine is truly diversified but I'm still losing around 300$. I just close one eye because for me it's a long term investment
