Paul, I could not disagree more that "AT LEAST 100 different positions" is sound strategy UNLESS you are talking about well-known large cap companies where there is limited monitoring required. But then the question I would have is whether you materially beat index funds, or a large cap value oriented fund like DODGX.

I invest in the (volatile) microcap area and my goal is to know my major position companies better than anyone else outside of the company. For my two largest holdings, I have probably had 50 phone calls or emails with the CEO of one and 20 with the other over the last year, and participate on all earnings conference calls. This takes a lot of work/time, and 10 companies in total is almost too many.
