3 asset allocation rules you should know by heart: 1. Money you need to spend within 5 years does not belong in stocks. 2. You need around 20 stocks to get the benefits of diversification. 3. You should aim for a retirement portfolio 25 times your annual needs.

While having a diversified portfolio is important, you don't need every stock in your portfolio to be a winner. You may find that, over time, just a handful of stocks are able to carry the rest so you come away with favorable returns.

Domino's only offers delivery and takeout and does not have dining rooms at its stores. That already set the company up to do well during this period of social distancing. Now, it needs more workers to meet demand.
