Your comments are excellent. I might add the critical importance of limiting single stock exposure to no more than four percent of equities. That way,if a stock disappoints and drops in half you still have 98% of your portfolio plus what you make on the 96% you had invested in other equities. That is what strategic diversification is all about. No question picking individual names is a very risky business therefore wide diversification protects from overly aggressive single stock risk. This is the most important principle to employ when dealing in stocks. Those that piledrive into one or two stocks expose themselves to huge potential risk.
