Concept of putting all your money in one or three stocks? You better know what direction these companies will be heading into? If you depend on population increase of 1% and economical improvement by 3-4%; your risk of technology obsolescence or market saturation will destroy all your gains within 6 month from your date of investment. Common knowledge of diversification of investment has been around for ages for just that kind of safety in investment. Therefore technology enthusiasts have to know the limit of technology and the company research and development efforts. Then, the market share distribution relating to the company you put money into? In addition, you have to know the financial planning by the management. Whether you are lucky enough to invest in a management who has a sound business plan which can make you rich later. Above all, the dynamics of stock trading and technical balance of longs and shorts must be watched each day.
