The more you own, the harder it becomes to know them well. Isn't that the truth....my gray cells are not what they used to be

>>>BTW, more stocks in a PF doesn't necessarily lower the risk.The more you own, the harder it becomes to know them well.<<< I think many of us are in the same boat. Years ago I used to hold "core positions" (our famous term) in 25 to 30 stocks. Then I scaled back to 20. Now I am struggling to keep "proper" track of 15 and may just pare it down to 10. Would be interesting to find out how many stocks others hold (not counting the flip flop stocks).
