That's true George, but these incredible volatility periods are where the big money can be made quickly (buying or shorting). A one quarter hiccup, and the stock gets a 26% haircut? They are in no danger of bankruptcy. They're not even hurting for work. suspect we will be back in the mid teens in a few weeks. I might not make money this time because I jumped the gun.

Yes George Diversified risk produces a safer return long term. Those of us who assume the greater portion of risk might not sleep as well as you but when we hit that home run(20% plus short term swings) we party a lot harder! Today I party hard! If I were to get into a sector fund it would not be oil it would be the tech sector funds...These will offer enourmous returns compared to the oil sector my friend and justify the diversified risk status of a sector fund.
