I am an older and bigger dollar investor who is very experienced, with highly developed analytical and risk evaluation skills (due to my career).. I find that only a small percentage of my "mistakes" are due to getting blindsided and that most are due to minding too many stores without full attention. And I can do this full time, use modern EDP resources, and often have access to mgmt. I stick with what I said in my prior post. I am trying to reduce the number of positions and control the risk by spreading around unrelated industries and companies. If I were not OK with the potential loss from a single investment in a fewer stock portfolio, I would add index funds, fixed income, increase cash, or select larger, more stable companies - rather than double the number of individual stock holdings..
