John: You already have 5 good replies but its fun to have 6 so here it is. Straddling an Amazon could be fun, but it might cost you $. I consider 75% Dell a very livable investment. Whatever you do with the $10k can be considered wrong, for example: My wife received $10k in June 1997. We ultimately put it in Dell, about 1/2 in stock, 1/2 in calls. Today its worth ~$63 k (much due to the calls) Here is what one call(leap) looks like: LDZAW DELL/00-17.5 cost 7.30, worth $48.13. ( and there should be 8 of those because it split three times) Stock price appreciation since June of 1997: Dell= 409% Aol= 833% Yhoo= 2976% So obviously, after much hindsight, we should have put it in Yahoo and through successful playing of the calls could have had close to $1 MM. HOWEVER, I could not have ridden out those 40% tankings in October and some in the Spring also without major faith in the company. And I did not have that in Yhoo. If going long term, it should be in a stock you have a personal solid faith in, because SOMEDAY that sucker will back down and its tough to hold. When Dell backs down it will be from a higher price than it is today and I can live with that. JMHO Sig
