As I have said before on this thread (I believe) the average person should only buy index funds. The above average person who wishes to invest in individual stocks can not hope to understand a great many companies or industries. I think that it is perfectly appropriate for such a person to limit himself to the 9-10 stocks mentioned by Mike, and force himself to evaluate each new idea against every one of them. I would suggest that anyone still concerned about diversification obtain it by adding index funds rather than an unmanageable number of stocks.
