How Many Stocks Should I Own?

One of the most important investing questions to answer and investors don’t even ask the question. Find out how many stocks to buy for a portfolio that beats the market and your goals.

It’s a question that even a lot of experienced investors get wrong. You’re sitting there maybe spending an hour or two a week for stocks to watch and you build a portfolio of hundreds of stocks.

The problem here is that while too few stocks leave you dangerously exposed to the ups-and-downs of those companies. Having too many stocks completely saps your chance to get higher returns . You’re just too diversified across so many stocks that your portfolio barely budges when one takes off.

It’s a fine line between being protected from scandal or the risk in any single stock to having too many stocks and not being able to get anything but a market return.

So in this video, we’ll look at research on that optimal number of shares to own and answer that question, “How Many Stocks Should I Own.” Then I’ll reveal a strategy I use to get the best of both worlds. I’ll show you how to get the diversification you need to protect your portfolio but also higher returns to beat the market. I’ll show you how many stocks to buy plus how much to invest in each stock.
