Wow, 50 stocks would be overwhelming for me. There's no way I could do a proper job and sleep well at night. I have around 12 and then do a few fun stocks to see what happens. I picked up NVDA in the low 20s and road it for long time and then it dropped....a lot. Too much inventory. I should have gotten back in but took my ??% increase and never looked back. I think Covid changed shopping so AMZN will be a great stock for the foreseeable future. I buy stuff almost every week now. When I meet up with friends there's always an Amazon box or bag laying around so I'm assuming their numbers are going to be really good. I notice too that their prices are going up, most likely because shipping costs are rising so fast. FDX is down around 50 from its high and I see it hitting new highs again. The world is changing and we won't go back.

I had something like 50 stocks last year - I couldn't keep up with them all I have never owned that many stocks for the very reason you stated. It's tough to keep up with them all and it's a bitch at tax time. My accountant loves it, I hate it. I've been out of the market but with trump leaving, and vaccines starting to be dispersed I jumped in to a few bio-tech stocks. I think the vaccine stocks are going to drag the whole sector up with them. For instance, all the companies that produce therapeutics will go up also. And, a lot of bio-tech stocks pay dividends.
