whoops, a second, then a third last posts. Well, technically, I have til midnight Sunday morning before I begin to earn my beers. <g>
I should say...I'm not throwing in the towel after just a few bad days. I've set myself up for an awfully difficult challenge; can a two-stock portfolio boost returns (well sure, concentrating is the only way to killer returns, you just have to be right).
A diversified approach may be less risky, indeed the combined talents of those contributing biotechs for MiniB ought to turn up good stocks--this is the strategy where you take skillful forecasters and then find consensus. And that works a lot of the time. But now and then, there is art, or a gut feel to forecasting...the weather, or a stock or whatever. On and on the blather--I'm starting to bore even myself!
Probabably the sensible thing to do is give up the comparison nonsense and feelings that I have screwed up. So what! I had a chance to liquidate my dpii and move into other ideas, but I wanted to do this experiment. It'll take a couple years to prove that I was truly wrong to focus and not trade into new ideas. The active approach that our biotech guru's take on is very good--very rational. So what if choose not to be rational.
ha! This little break is going to do me some good, I'm acting about as nutsky as I did back when I let the Ariad death spiral beat all over me. Maybe I'll take two Doxepin tonight <g>! |
