I would suggest having at least 20 stocks, with each stock having an allocation of 5% for a start. If one of these companies go under, you won't lose more than 5% of your capital. Think about lasting the marathon first before you think about your first pot of gold.

Depends on your style! Day traders often focus on fewer, while long-term investors aim for diversity.

I hold more than 10 SG counters and more than 6 US counters. Diversification is the word. Unfortunately, during pandemic, no matter which sectors you are holding, you will be hit badly. Apparently, diversification is not applicable during the tough time. But gradually, you will see some sectors recover much faster than the others. This year, i m trying to venture into sectors that i have never thought of in the past. Maybe my main focus this year is dividends.

. Thus, no venture no gains. I have a long horizon as i m a long term investor.

In such a scenario of "high probability of success," do you need to date others? It's not about how much money you have; it's about the certainty you have in your relationship.Some "experts" advise investors: If you have a small amount of capital, holding 2 or 3 stocks is sufficient, while those with over 5 million should hold 10 or more stocks.Other experts argue: Ho
