The eternal question is how many stocks should one have in his portfolio. The answer is pretty easy, the more you know the lower should be the number of stocks in your portfolio while if you know little or nothing you should go for more diversification. I discuss some research that show how adding more stocks increases your number of losing stocks and discuss how the modern portfolio theory approaches the issue. Buffett would say that diversification is protection from ignorance.
