Number of Investments for an account.........
The bigger the pie, the greater the number of satisfying slices can be cut.
Right now what I'm working with is a model of 20 slices, keeping each to 5%. I take profit as they move up, use the profit as well as additional income from savings and dividends to bring the laggards back up. Limits each to 5% of the overall, and is broad enough to allow for a range of holdings in income, stocks and commodities without risking too much in any one or becoming so many to become unwieldy.
A little more progressive than TooFuzzy's slow AIM but along that line.
BTW best wishes to all for 2010!
Best,
AIMster
