The more diversified you are, the less impact it will have to your overall portfolio. For example, if your portfolio is composed of only two stocks, a sudden bankruptcy of any company can mean a 50% loss. But if your portfolio has 100s of companies, the performance of the rest will overshadow the losses from that specific one.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that an index already tracks a basket of companies.<\/p>\n<p>So, instead of trying to pick and manage tens\/hundreds of stocks yourself, try to determine the countries\/sectors\/regions you&#8217;re interested in. Then, you can find the adequate index (or a combination of indices) that tracks those and use it as a <strong>benchmark for his portfolio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember<\/strong>, this is still <em>&#8220;in theory&#8221;<\/em>, so don&#8217;t jump to any conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, head to my post on <a href=\"https:\/\/dpetkovski.com\/index-investing-index-funds-a-gentle-introduction\/\"><strong>index investing<\/strong><\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>For a comprehensive, beginner-friendly, and <strong>free resource<\/strong> on stock market investing, visit:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dpetkovski.com\/how-to-start-investing-a-complete-beginner-series\/\"><strong><em>How to Start Investing: A Complete Beginner Series<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After publishing my post on ETFs I received many questions about how to approach picking one.
