...Strangely, one stock usually accounts for about 80% of my returns ... I don't find this strange. As one gains experience in the ebb and flow of a company and its stock, their trading skills get honed to perfection. This ability to trade profitably when others are either fooled, confused, or terrified, leads to a robust personal treasury. Building on this foundation of secure resources, knowledge, and courage, one can eventually establish a considerable and secure portfolio. I can only imagine the time and ability required to achieve my goals utilizing several stocks. Since, for me anyway, time and ability are finite resources, I'll continue to focus my investing on those companies where I've become comfortable over the years. Cheers, PW. P.S. I feel investing has become somewhat more difficult the past few years. Whenever I look at option prices, they seem expensive today. I'm not saying that sharp traders cannot make good profits today, but that they need more skill to achieve the same result. My hat's off to those who prosper in this environment.
