47 - Forced Diversification and Illiquid Stocks
The DIY Investing Podcast: Value Investing | Fundamental Analysis | Mental Models | Business Management
Illiquid stocks offer substantial opportunity, but can also lead to an inability to purchase as many shares as you would like. This situation, along with a lack of good ideas, can lead you to rationally diversifying your portfolio more than intended. Cash has a high opportunity cost, so it is okay to build small positions in companies that are still high quality, but may not currently trade at wonderful prices. Avoid "Diworsification"
