I found this a helpful and intelligent discussion. If a holding represents less that 0.1% of my capital is unlikely to either make me much money, or improve diversification. It is a distraction. How many companies can I reasonably follow? But easier said than done. I just did a check. I have 91 US stocks, the top 30 represent 75% of what I have invested. The bottom 30 are 5%. But I still find it hard to dump them. ---

That was an interesting watch. This is something I’ve grappled with. In the past, I’ve been guilty of holding too many different investments. Nowadays, I like to have a minimum position size of 2-3%. I find it helps focus my mind.
