[RT] GEN: STOCK DIVERSIFICATION--THE 3% SOLUTION

Group-

I've heard from a couple of sources that the optimal method of
diversification
in a stock portfolio is to have no more than 3% in any single issue.  To be
fully invested would there require owning a total of 33 individual stocks.
Of
course the reason cited is that anything can hapen in the way of earnings
surprises to individual issues; but with a total of 33; any price shocks
will
not adversely affect the total portfolio performance.

I'm wondering if there is any type of statistical data; or concept; to back
up
the idea of how the number 33 was arrived at.

Thanks for any comments.
