The 4% rule, as far as I know, is based on cost, not on market value. So, if one of your investments does so well in comparison to the rest of the portfolio that it becomes, for instance, 15% of your portfolio, then it is OK. Also, I have heard Brinker say at least on one occasion that if the stock is from the company you work for, perhaps a higher percentage than 4% might be OK too. Not too high, but something like, say, 15% or so. Brinker cited the advantage of "better visibility" of the company's prospects as one of the reasons why the investor might wish to go beyond the recommended 4% in that case. Dipy.
