I never said 15. That was your number.

One of the reasons a person might want to invest in a mutual fund is, if they only have a few thousand dollars to invest, they cannot afford to purchase stock in all of the corporations held by the fund. Its precisely the same strategy as buying many corporations, only it costs far less to do it.
