I thought bread was initially nuts for having a one share portfolio - but have since modified my views slightly. I can now picture myself having three portfolios. 1) long term (5+ years view) of dividend paying stocks - very diversified 20 - 40 stocks. 2) A smaller porfolio looking for aggressive growth, say up to 5 companies with a 6mth - 2 years view. Have defined exit points. 3) Speculative portfolio - buying on dips and holding for a few days/weeks. 1-3 companies.

Then having my money spread out roughly 75% 20% 5%

 :D.....hence you won't be able to find me when the next big correction comes around  :)

But seriously though, please keep in mind that the 1 share strategy has an exponential growth in risk, is not for the faint hearted, and I do not recommend it for anybody.

Interesting strategy you have there Mr Dividend. T'would be interesting to see a track record of the performance of your different portfolios compared to a 1 share portfolio, which makes stock picking and timing supremely important.
