Well, from my experience, the ideal case will be not holding too much stocks at one go, else it will mess up your portfolio. When everything is good and while market is in bull run, there is no any issue. However, once the market starts to crash and become bear, it will be challenging for you to clear up your portfolio. Firstly, it is due to there are too many stocks for you to monitor and react. Secondly, it's mental, when you saw 20-30 of your holdings are losing big, you will lost to the interest and choose not to face the reality by cutting loss and leave your holdings continue to bleed, hoping them to rebound asap. The lesson that I try to flow through is, it might affect your decision making when you are holding too many stocks.
Last but not least, a general benchmark:

10k fund : 2-3 stocks
50k fund : 4-5 stocks
100k fund : 6-7 stocks
500k fund : Not more than 10 stocks

Hope this helps guys, all the best!

How Many Stocks Should You Hold?
Some "experts" advise investors: If you have a small amount of capital, holding 2 or 3 stocks is sufficient, while those with over 5 million should hold 10 or more stocks. Other experts argue: Holding too many stocks can be overwhelming; 2 or 3 are enough for investors. ------------------------ What's your take on this? How many stocks do you typically hold?
