Diversification
What does "don't put all your eggs in one basket" mean in investing?
Diversification means not staking everything on one stock. If that name crashes, a mixed book cushions the hit - one bad egg shouldn't ruin the basket.
How StockIT helps you practice this
Open your pie chart and diversification bar (unlock 6-1). If one slice eats the pie, you're one bad GEN away from pain. Spread coins across stocks → bar fills → gems. Panics feel smaller when your book is mixed.
In-game tip: “Don't Put All Eggs in One Basket” — Spreading your coins across different stocks makes panics less scary.
