The amount of money you want to invest in stocks is a personal decision that you and
your financial professional should discuss. Once you have made that decision, this is the
number of individual stocks you should own to maximize your chances of real success.
If you own too many stocks, your results will be "watered-down" if you get
aboard the one or two "super-stars" that can really propel your portfolio higher.
