Born, I have trouble staying diversified even though I have 50+ stocks or so, because have several very big positions, CLGRF being biggest. It is up 4-5 times now, so would have done better if only stock. Its like 40% because its gone up so much.

The downside is if something goes wrong and IVFH is great example, you can get killed with over concentration. That's what got Jesse Livermore and cost him several fortunes.

So if you are over 50% in IVFH you should not be buying IVFH to answer your question, and generally 25% is too much in one stock unless you have little invested and little to lose.

Cheers
