According to some studies, which of the following numbers of stocks in a portfolio would best moderate those stocks' volatility?

The number of investments. Studies show that the diversity of your investments is more important. Therefore, look for areas of overlap and gaps.

Studies in the past have shown that you should own how many stocks?
10 to 30. However, given that investing isn't random (and these studies used random portfolios) and that individual stocks are becoming more volatile, it likely takes more than 30 stocks to create the optimal stock portfolio.
