Issue #1: Over-Concentration
Problem:- 60%+ in one sector
- 30%+ in one stock
- 5 or fewer total holdings
- Sector crashes hurt badly
- Single stock can drop 50%+
- Not truly diversified
- Trim large positions to 15-20% max
- Add uncorrelated assets
- Minimum 10-15 holdings
Issue #2: Redundant Holdings
Problem:- Owning QQQ + VOO + individual tech stocks
- Owning both SPY and VOO
- Overlap without knowing
- Not adding diversification
- Extra fees
- Complexity without benefit
- Check ETF overlap tools
- Eliminate redundant positions
- Simplify holdings
Issue #3: “Diworsification”
Problem:- 30+ holdings
- Too many small positions
- Can’t track them all
- Decision paralysis
- No meaningful allocation to anything
- High complexity
- Can’t beat market with 30 positions
- Hard to manage
- Consolidate to 10-20 holdings
- Minimum 3-5% per position
- Focus on quality over quantity
Issue #4: No Rebalancing
Problem:- Winners grow to 40%+ of portfolio
- Never trimming
- Never adding to losers
- Drift from target allocation
- Concentration risk increases
- Not “buying low, selling high”
- Portfolio becomes unbalanced
- Rebalance quarterly or annually
- Trim when > 5% above target
- Add when > 5% below target
- Systematic process

Success Checklist
✅ I reviewed my entire portfolio with AI analysis ✅ I identified concentration risks ✅ I understand my sector allocation ✅ I have a rebalancing plan ✅ I’m tracking allocation drift monthly ✅ I know my risk metrics (beta, Sharpe) ✅ I’m optimizing for taxes ✅ I have 10-20 holdings (not too few, not too many) ✅ I rebalance at least annually ✅ My allocation matches my risk tolerance and goalsRemember: Portfolio construction matters as much as individual stock picking. A well-balanced, properly diversified portfolio outperforms a concentrated portfolio of “good” stocks. Think holistically. 📊 It’s not just what you own—it’s how much and in what combination.
