Personally I like to read through all of the quarterly reports of the companies I own. Of course I don't read the whole report but I'd say I spend maybe 15 minutes eyeing it, plus then reading through the Q&A of the conference call which is probably another 10 or 15 minutes. I do read some (maybe 20%) of the news seeking alpha sends me, and I may or may not read an article or two from other sources once in a while.
That being said, I find that around 30 stocks is a good amount. It's not a precise number, I can't even recall how many I have now, but somewhere in that ballpark is where I feel like I can comfortably follow all of the stocks I own.
