From my Finance courses, an important principle to explain diversification is to purchase multiple securities with low or negative covariance. Covariance in portfolio construction can be critical for asset allocation. This will diminishes the risk an investor faces in owning a portfolio. Holding multiple securities of low covariance reduces risk, because if one security drops in value, low or negative covariance implies that it's unlikely that all will drop in value simultaneously! Even if you purchase gold (yes volatile!!), the overall risk of your portfolio can truly decrease. Hope this helps. Like you said TFB, first thing- DI-VER-SI-FI-CA-TION!
