This deep hole business is interesting - made me realize I have never been more than 10-15% underwater in a given year and never had a major wipeout like many on SI.

That may be good or bad. I won't ever make multi-100% or 1000% gains in a single year due to diversification. But knowing that my portfolio is set up not to lose lets me sleep pretty well at night.

All of our readers have to decide what suits their style and their pocketbook. I still think that one day I should divide my funds clearly into investing bucks and gambling bucks, and try a few go for broke plays now and then.

Maybe once the overall cushion is a bit thicker. Until then, show me the way to the chicken coop. LOL.
