re largest position. With taking a big position, the downside matters for me more so than the upside. this means that it is quite unlikely that I establish a huge position in stock just because it is cheap because cheap means that there are typically issues with the stock. With a large cap stock with very low perceived risk like NSRGY, i would probably go up to 8% with an individual position, for a dangerous stock with issues like AIG it's more like 2.5% and for a microcap 1%. I am a dedicated bottom fisher and have been tempted to average down loosing position in stock that i perceive to be cheap. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. It's important not to dig oneself into a hole where it's impossible to get out of.
