Frank, <<<As one's portfolio value increases and investment window narrows, capital preservation becomes an important issue. But rather than do this by buying a large number of stocks on which I will be unable to perform adequate dd, I plan on diversifying by increasing my position in QQQ, the Gorilla index trust.>>> If you really desire diversification, you may want to reconsider your QQQ investment. It is part of the same game. thestreet.com Perhaps if you really wanted to diversify or even hedge your gorilla positions, you may wish to buy puts on QQQ instead of buying the index. Unless, of course, you foresee the NASDAQ hitting Joey Battitaglia's (spelling?) target of 4300 next year.<vbg> Regards
