Subject: Re: OT: Diversification and portfolio size
Buy equal amounts of that many stocks, chosen at random from among the 15% of Russell 1000 stocks with the highest ROE.
Since it's only typing, I'd buy all 150 of them.

Another twist might be to limit it to the R1000 stocks that are also in the VL1700. My count of this is 859 of the 1009 R1000 stocks.

For those who don't have or want an IB account, this portfolio would be easy to do at M1Finance. Maximum of 100 stocks ("slices") per portfolio, 500 stocks per account, minimum order size is $1.00. Specify the weighting you want, or specify "equal balance". Rebalance or change stocks as often as you like.


I guess you could play games with multiple portfolios to have more than 100 stocks in this screen.
