Re: Personal Investment Strategy HelpIt depends on your personal circumstances…I allocate capital to stocks as a % of my net worth rather than a % of my stock portfolio. It might seem aggressive but it is not… it is volatile though! From all my reading to date I will be pleasantly surprised that an ordinary investor can achieve decent unleveraged excess returns (CAGR>20%) over a suitable time period (> 5 years) by holding more than 5 to 8 stocks in a portfolio - happy to be proven wrong by those that have.I think a lot of the time the "risk" in stocks is exaggerated by media and investors. Due diligence (earnings risk) and an appropriate holding timeframe (2-3 years) will greatly minimize the “risk”.Cheers
