Amelia is attempting to diversify her portfolio in order to spread her risk. By dispersing her investment money among 5 different companies rather than putting it all into one, she lessens the chance of losing all her money in the event a company fails or does badly in the stock market. She is heeding the common expression that advises, "Don't put all your chickens in one basket".

The fact that Amelia decides to buy 10 shares each of 5 companies instead of investing in 50 shares of a big company is example of an attempt to
eliminate firm-specific risk though diversification.The term diversification is technique used in management that includes mixing a wide variety of investments (in this case shares), while firm-specific risk is the risk that corresponds to risks that are very specific to a certain company.
