Single stock investing: does it work?

@Mudit.Kushalvardhan Just want to clarify. By avoiding cyclicals and investing in just one consistent compounder, say HINDUNILVR, would that be good enough?

Personally I’ve found it hard to track more than one or two stocks at a time. Being a novice in investing I held 10 stocks (10% weightage) two years ago and almost went mad following all the price gyrations, the earnings calendars and related news. Couldn’t even get thru 4 Annual reports. Thus I trimmed it to 3 (33% weightage each) and now even that seems too much . Thinking of just going with one stock. Plan is to blindly trust the pedigree of management and let it ride for the long run.
