Recently, I received a question asking if you could have a diversified portfolio of dividend stocks. It is an interesting question that deserves further examination.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-5738\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As for my portfolio, I consider <a href=\"http:\/\/dividendsvalue.com\/1252\/measuring-asset-allocation-across-your-entire-portfolio\/\"><strong>asset allocation<\/strong><\/a> only when looking at my holdings in total. It would be much too difficult to maintain a good allocation within individual portfolios (income, growth, 401(k), Roth IRA, etc.), while trying to maintain my overall allocation. However, an investor could build a degree of allocation into a portfolio of dividend income securities.
