Am invested in about 40 different stocks in Robinhood, which I’ve accumulated over the last 3 years. I’m mostly a buy and hold type person, and it’s worked really well in this market. However, I’m worried that in the future this will be too many stocks to keep track of, as I’m more of a passive investor & don’t check my portfolio often.
Any advice on if this is too many individual stocks for someone like me vs. sticking to 10-15 to hold long term?

If your concern is just that something will dip and you'll miss it, issue to stop/stop limit/trailing stop based on your risk tolerance on the ones you don't care to follow more actively, make it go out 90 days, and just be able to tolerate it if something dips and rebounds

The marginal benefits of diversification level off after 20 or so investments. Props on you if you can do the DD on all 40. Personally I’ve got about 10 names that I understand the business kind of well, and straightforward enough that my Econ degree is somewhat useful.

I am in the same boat and not too worried since it's long term...

I’m working with TCS for about 1.6 years and upgraded to TCS Digital last year. Now after my first annual appraisal was completed, I am wondering how will it be related to the performance band?

Since a C band would result in stoppage of the elevated compensation component. I have heard people talk that someone can get a C band even if they have a >4.5 appraisal rating.

Can anyone kindly clarify?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
