Concentrated position advice:
When one holding carries too much

A concentrated position is a single holding, often an employer's stock or one big winner, that makes up a large share of the portfolio.

PortfolioPilot grades holdings concentration in Downside Protection and marks a position Critical when it adds too much risk. On Gold, recommendations can reduce it. There is no separate concentrated-stock planner. Not tax advice.
