Another newbie question about being diversified.

Lets say you have $50k to invest. Are you diversified enough with 3 stocks, 5 or 10?
At what point are you spread out to thin?

If you own stocks that pay a dividend, when they pay out, your dividend is only enough that reinvesting it get you only 1 share, or 4 shares a year.
Are you diversified too much. And holding more shares would compound quicker.
