Put 20% in bonds, the rest in 5-10 stocks and experience the magic of compounding.

Also known as 'diversification'

Other than you saying that my strategy 'isn't smart' do you have any other thoughts to add on why?

Sorry mate, I was referring to that you don´t have to diversify
in the sense of investing in 20+ stocks,mutual funds,bonds,t-bills, or index funds.

But it would still not be smart to invest in just 1 venture. There is no such thing as a sure thing, you are simply not getting the return that justifies the risk.

Are you implying that if you invest in more than 1 venture, say two stocks, than that is 'diversification' ?
Surely not.

In the end it all comes down to how much money you have.
If it is $1000, then go ahead and throw it at 1
stock/venture.

If you however have say $100,000-$1,000,000 Than you have to be more passive.

That´s just my opinion
