Whether you're a new investor or a seasoned professional, building a strong portfolio is critical. That means asking yourself certain questions: How many stocks should I buy? What types of stocks should I own? How would I feel if my portfolio dropped 20% in value?
The answers to those questions are different for everyone. But in my experience, it's helpful to own at least 15 stocks and to favor companies with a large market opportunity and a strong competitive advantage.
With that in mind, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) , Axon Enterprise (NASDAQ: AXON) , and Mastercard (NYSE: MA) look like the foundation of a healthy portfolio. Here's why these three companies would make great starter stocks.
