A portfolio is the full set of assets (stocks, currencies, etc.) you hold at a given time.
Your portfolio reflects your total market exposure. Diversifying it (not putting everything on one asset) is a key risk-management principle: if one asset drops, the others cushion the blow.
Your portfolio holds 3 different stocks and some cash: if one stock falls, the impact on the total is limited.
