You see a stock performing well and think: "Issme bhi Invest kar lete hai!" (Let's invest in this one too!) 💸

This casual, indiscriminate approach to buying every stock in the limelight is Myth 23, the belief that over-diversification reduces risk and maximizes returns.

In this crucial episode of The Middle-Class Mistake, we reveal how buying too many related stocks actually concentrates your risk and results in a portfolio that underperforms the market index.

🎧 Join the conversation to learn:

• The "More is Better" Flaw: Why investing in dozens of companies (especially in the same sector) doesn't make you safe; it just guarantees your winners will be weighed down by your losers.
• The Concentrated Risk: How diversification becomes a mistake when you invest in correlated businesses (e.g., buying 10 similar tech stocks), leaving you vulnerable to a single sectoral downturn.
• The Solution: Investment is an Art. Learn why true diversification means investing in non-correlated assets that perform well in different market cycles.

💡 Sanchit Taksali's Portfolio Focus:Stop focusing on the Number of Stocks you own! The "More, the Merrier" rule applies to the Quantity of Shares in a carefully selected, quality company, not the overall count.

🔮 Next Episode Teaser:You’ve invested, and now the stock is down 15%. What do you do? Next time, we address Myth 24: Emotional Trading – "Aaj nhi toh Kal Chal hi jaayega - Abhi Paisa ban Raha hai toh Nikal le." (Hold losses forever, book profits quickly). Is this a strategy or a behavioral flaw?
