Description

In this episode of Intelligent Investment Today, we tackle one of value investing's oldest questions: how much diversification is enough - and when does it become too much? Guided by the wisdom of Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffet, we explore why spreading your investments across too many stocks can dilute your returns and how over-diversification might actually hurt your portfolio. We break down the "Goldilocks Zone" of diversification, influenced by your experience, financial goals, and market conditions. Plus, we discuss when index funds might be the smartest choice for investors who prefer a hands-off approach. Whether you're a defensive investor or a seasoned stock picker, this episode offers timeless insights to help you strike the perfect balance.
