Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

A basic principle of investments is the creation of portfolios (or portfolios) for diversification purposes. At any given time, investors simultaneously hold a set of assets that make up their investment portfolio. A basic principle in finance is that an investor should not place all of his resources in a single asset or in a relatively small number of assets, but in a large number of investment instruments. In this way, the possible bad results in certain assets would be offset by the good results of others. Diversification allows the investor to lower the risk of his portfolio without sacrificing returns or, alternatively, increase the return on his portfolio without increasing his risk. Of course, diversification does not guarantee profits under any circumstances, but it does help to dampen the variability of returns on individual assets.

Cost of Goods sold A/c Dr $1,200
