>> "You only have to get rich once. Why do very bright people risk losing something that's very important to them to gain something that's totally unimportant" You are learned and wise, LL. Many thanks for contributing Mr. Buffett's quote. I think it sums up the case for diversification once you hit your personal Fat Lady Index. Didn't Richard Rainwater say something along the lines of: diversification is a good strategy to stay rich but a poor one to become rich? I read it several years ago but do not remember where. Maybe someone else here can give the quote verbatim. I have a poor memory for exact quotes - lossy compression algorithm - but I have thought about the idea many times and I agree with his sentiments. I'll have to try it once I become rich. Greg
