Jeffrey, Armin, Mike: (still more about diversity -g-) Your observations about what's going on seem right, but I don't believe you've got the right conclusions. What I'm reading from you guys is that when you (Jeffrey, Armin) faced a choice between two (tech) companies, each with a different technology or business or management competency, you've selected the company whose stock performance turned out to be the poorer. And if management is a key determinant for success, and going with Mike's observation that management is difficult to judge by an outsider--- then I will offer you my postulate:

1. At any point in time, if trying to make a choice among two or more companies to invest in, the investor will invariably pick the wrong company.

The implication from this (for me, anyway) is not that one should continue to struggle to pick one from among the competing alternatives. I say -- especially with two choices-- it is NOT a matter of selecting one or the other. One takes a position in BOTH.
