The portfolio should not be over diversified as over-diversification does not yield good results and it becomes difficult to keep an eye on all the stocks. Similarly, the portfolio should not also be concentrated in one or two stocks/ industries as a tremendous fall in the price of one stock will adversely affect the overall portfolio performance.
Usually, investors can have 8-10 stocks in the portfolio depending on the amount of investment.
