By Malvika Raghuvanshi,
For long-term high investment in stocks, the diversification in different sector is always preferable. Investing entire money in only one sector is always risky. Pick few stocks from different sectors, according to the performance and then invest. For instance, if you have invested your money in Construction industries only, and due to some government policies like, interest rate, that may increase further, the share price can continually down, which is risky. So this sector can be excluded from your portfolio.
Look how I segregate the stock in different sectors that can actually perform.
