Stocks & Investing

Portfolio

Everything you own as investments, taken together.

Your portfolio is the full picture: stocks, ETFs, cash, bonds, and any options positions. What matters is not any single holding but how the whole thing behaves, especially how concentrated it is and how it holds up in a downturn.

For example

A portfolio that is 90% in one volatile stock is fragile, even if that stock is great, because one bad event dominates everything.
