A well-diversified portfolio is not about owning 50 stocks.

It's about making sure one mistake doesn't damage your entire portfolio. One approach could be: • 8-15 stocks • No single stock above 10-15% • Exposure across multiple sectors • A mix of large, mid and small caps • Avoid overloading on one theme If 5 stocks in your portfolio depend on the same story, you may not be as diversified as you think. Diversification won't maximize returns. But it can help you stay invested long enough to achieve them.
