For people who own individual stocks rather than mostly ETFs:
At what point does your portfolio become too large to actually follow the companies properly?
With 5 companies, reading earnings and major filings seems manageable.
With 15–20, keeping up with earnings, guidance changes, management commentary, competitive developments, and everything else starts feeling like a second job.
I’m curious where people here draw the line.
How many companies do you actively follow, and what do you actually do to keep up with them between earnings?
