The saying, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” has long been considered an effective risk management technique. By diversifying the portfolio, the investment amount is spread out among different assets resulting in higher long-term returns for less risk as compared to committing the amount in a single asset.
As obvious as it may seem to appear, a lot of day traders do not consider investing in alternative markets. This is due to either lack of knowledge about the benefits of diversification or fear of applying a day trading strategy on anything other than the stocks.
