The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series in which advisor Charly Travers and analyst Jason Moser discuss topics across the investing world.

Take your investing beyond thinking about your stocks in isolation and employ a holistic view of how the companies you own work together to meet your investing needs. Charly and Jason construct a mini-portfolio consisting of large-cap retailing giant Wal-Mart, mid-cap energy stock Denbury Resources, small-cap robotic surgery innovator MAKO Surgical, and Chinese Internet search leader Baidu. Diversification is the only free lunch in investing, Fools, so make your stocks work as a team!
