6. keep a few stocks on which you can concentrate your research and monitor movements


@mkonomtupu, what would be ideal number that is manageable decently, any advice?


For the NSE, the ideal number is max 7, I only concentrate on max 5 stocks at a time.

Noted & thanks, will try that .... doing 11 though only serious with 2.

Madam, so, you joke with your money, ehh?

I always want to have 4 or less but i end up having 7 in my portfolio. TAMAA. TAMAA. TAMAA!

I have 10 on my portfolio with an average buy value of Ksh 200k per counter. The good thing about this diversification is that it saves you a lot of headache and heartache coz when some counters are on a roller coaster, you will at least have some that will lift your spirits. But of course i agree that it really requires a lot of research and day to day monitoring.

Why these small holdings? You have to bet big to win big.

Barclays will not take you far, lose it there are better shares to hold. Be cautious however, this is not a very good time to buy.

Sell BBK and jump into CFC at around 105! There is still headroom here!

I'd suggest you sell all and focus on one or two counters that you understand very well and can keep a close tab on if you want to grow your wealth. Diversification of the nature you have there is good for people looking for moderate growth and protecting the large wealth they already have. Don't just copy paste what you learn from finance that diversification is good. You need a deeper understanding of context.
