Question 1

Can a free portfolio tracker help me stay diversified?

Accepted Answer

The number one principle of prudent long-term investing is to spread risk across a well-diversified portfolio. You want to avoid having positions that are disproportionately large relative to your total portfolio. If something goes wrong with a big position, your portfolio will suffer an unduly big loss. So it's important to avoid letting positions get too big as part of your portfolio risk management. The same argument must be made with respect to asset allocation as well as sector and industry exposure. While you may want to prioritize growth sectors, it is also prudent to avoid piling into the same growth industry.
