The One-Stock Portfolio: The Simplest Path to Wealth

What if everything you’ve learned about diversification is wrong? In this provocative and eye-opening book, Heikin Ashi Trader presents a radical yet timeless investment strategy: instead of spreading your capital, he recommends concentrating it—on the one idea you truly believe in. Buy and own just one single stock!

Drawing on legendary examples, this book demonstrates why concentration—not diversification—has created the greatest fortunes in stock market history. A portfolio of 50 stocks may feel safe, but it doesn’t instill real conviction. It’s time to stop thinking like an investor who acts like a portfolio manager—and start thinking like an entrepreneur.
