Episode Details

In this short video, Charles explains single stock risk, why "they're in different sectors" isn't the protection people think it is, and the concentration approach he prefers instead. If your portfolio holds just three, four, or five individual stocks, you may be carrying more risk than you realize. Four can perform beautifully — and one bad position can pull your whole year down.
