What is the concept of investment diversification?

Investment diversification means make various investment rather than depending on 1. it will be very well explained  by Mr. Waren Buffett saying "Don't put all eggs in one basket and never keep your money idle". The need of diversification is to minimize your risk, or don't depend on 1 investment or don't keep your all investment in one place, it should be diversify.

Simple Example: you have invested 100,000 dollars in 1 company and unfortunately that goes bankrupts share price came from 100 to 10 dollar, means your 90% investment gone.

 You have invested 100,000 dollars in 10 companies 1 of them goes bankrupts share value go from 100 to 10 dollar but another 5 companies are stable 4 goes up from 100 to 140 so your loss on 1 company 9000 dollars other 4 companies gave you 16,000 profit. so net profit will be 7000 dollars. Hope everybody can understand this.

Under normal market conditions, diversification is an effective way to reduce risk. If you hold just 1 investment and it performs badly, you could lose all of your money. If you hold a diversified portfolio with a variety of different investments, it’s much less likely that all of your investments will perform badly at the same time. The profits you earn on the investments that perform well offset the losses on those that perform poorly.

In theory, diversification enables you to reduce the risk of your portfolio without sacrificing potential returns. An efficient portfolio has the least possible risk for a given return. Once your portfolio has been fully diversified, you have to take on additional risk to earn a higher potential return on your portfolio.

As they are opposite direction project, as the more purchasing new cars, the less Car`s repair demand and revenues.
