Hank -- good question: how does a bunch of highly correlated tech stocks constitute diversification? I think the idea here was that if this is a horse race you should bet on several horses. If the horse race gets cancelled -- well, that's it.

>>Are you saying if one has 15 different internet stocks and that's all one has then he or she are diversified?

Sure that's good enough for me. I wouldn't prescribe it for everyone, but I'm close enough to these stories that I feel confident. It's an aggressive portfolio. High risk/high reward.

I've focused more and more into these names as prices have come down.
