Hi Ice, re: diversification Actually, you're in good company, <...I don't like to diversify, as financial experts recommend. Mainly because as you diversify, you reduce your risk - but you also reduce the potential for big gains. I guess it's all a matter of risk tolerance and adopting an approach that seems comfortable. Being from Texas, I come from an environment where risk is well tolerated...> It is becoming increasingly popular for financial advisors to warn against over-disversification. Diversifying was a popular concept in the 80s, but as more money started soaking into the mutual funds -- that is to say, people started purchasing shares of a dozen mutual funds, who in turn purchased shares of several dozen companies -- then people started noticing really diluted returns (albeit with diluted risk). I've soaked my money into a whopping 3 issues this year. Whilst I have yet to perfect the Texas drawl, perhaps I have taken on an affectation of its spirit. Ducks and geese will scurry, Scorpions to bury... Oh wait, that's 'Oklahoma', sorry...no offense. -MrB
