Stick to basic rules for diversifying. If you have 100K - 5% per investment
if you have 10k - then a couple thousand per name. Somewhere in-between if you have more or less.

If you have 100K -- finding JUST TWENTY great companies is the easiest thing you'll ever do!


If i could do individual stocks, i'd be MUCH more comfortable... but these are all mutual funds., which is what makes me nervous about diversifying it.. Ive been on schwab and see they suggest a certain % in large cap, small/mid, euro, etc. but it seems the Funds all overlap.
