Investing in 3-5 great business should be sufficient. But of course, you need to be able to identify those. But that is really not a problem if you only need to know a handful by heart. To me, a portfolio of 20 stocks is way too diversified. Even though it's accumulated over many years. Why not add to your winners instead of buying a new stock?
Love your channel. Keep up the good helpful common sense topics, tips, and advice!
I agree with the fact that over diversification won't theoretically make the most money but I do wonder about the fact that when people don't diversify they tend to bail out because mentally they can't stomach the volatility. I think in the long run most people will make more money for themselves if they are over diversified simply because they will feel safer and weather the storm and not sell out.
Your argument is tautological.
Hi Phil….I am a strong believer of Concentration of Portfolio because I don't want to risk of dilution in profits because of diversification.
I have mostly been 100% of my portfolio into 1 stock. This has been very successful to me and I have created significant wealth. You can follow me on Twitter @tejasseth and see my tweets nd my PF performance.
Your videos are so good that I feel jealous to share with my friends ????

Diversification == another misleading pillar of investing for dummies
Is there a video showing how to focus on particular industries / stocks ?

I learned in life that everything is not for everybody. What works for some may not work for others.
I watch this channel instead of entertainment shows when I am having meal.
I would invest 60% of my portfolio in 3-4 different companies that have growth potential, and hedge with the other 40% in major stock index ETFs.
I remember when ENRON was the stock to buy…think those people think diversification is a bad thing now? Sure, we can cherry pick our examples, but I still maintain that having your investments spread out among 5-6-7 sectors, and a couple of different type funds is the way to go for the average investor.
Diversification isn't about how many stocks you own, it's about being in different sectors. It's kind of silly to own 6 stocks like Exxon, BP, Marathon, Conoco, Chevron, and Valero, that all reside in the same sector and do pretty much the same thing. It's much better to own Exxon, Apple, Amazon, Pepsi, Merck, and GM for example…and that is being diversified.
Diversification is dilution when it comes to investing.
I enjoy these videos and appreciate the advice … but I hate how much he name drops warren Buffett
Somebody knows a site where i can invest in s&p 500 etf(not from u.s.a)
Q2 Buffet had 44 stocks
I do have some very successful no load mutual funds in retirement accounts – it just takes some research to get a good rate of return as with stocks. I agree the rate of return on good stocks will be more than what I’m getting currently with mutual funds in both my Roth 401k with the match and Roth IRA I started when I was 18 – but that’s ok. I plan on getting the match and supplementing the mutual funds I already started in addition to doing stocks with extra money. One benefit to retirement accounts is their security and tax benefits and one benefit of individual investing is the liquidity of funds. I like flexibility in both 🙂
Great videos snd advise… thnx… Nady from Dubai
How would someone new to the market go about finding out how much a business is worth, or how much they should look to have as their margin of safety?
Excellent video.
