And just in case you have a suggestion of how to make great market beating portfolio that does not look like mutual fund holdings, I'm all ears.

So far none of the advice on concentrated portfolios has worked for me.

As I have said many times before, "why buy your 50th best idea instead of adding to your 1st best idea" almost never worked for me. First, most of the time I cannot order the ideas and say which one is better. Second, most of the time the one I think is better performs worse than the one I think is worse. You can possibly see this from my top 10 holdings, which could be thought as my ten best ideas (although I probably would claim that half of them are not :))).

Not that I am against culling the portfolio from bad/underperforming ideas and stocks. Once in a while I think whether I should try to get it down to 10-20 (5 is impossible :)) stocks. I never accomplish it. I would probably accomplish it if I believed that my performance would improve from this change.
