Jeffrey, with your method of undertaking in-depth research and concentrating your portfolio, I would guess you would want to have a portfolio with equal purchase weightings. To me, characterizing investment ideas as inferior (or superior) is an ex post facto exercise. Some of my "best" ides turn out to be terrible losers. Some of my worst ideas prove to be excellent investments. I just will try to select stocks if they fit within my purchase criteria. I'll adjust the amount I buy by my estimate of the risk vs. reward and my estimate for the timeframe to see profits. Also whether I will expect to lag into the purchase over time and/or by price; whether I will reinvest any dividends; and whether the stock is a in an industry in which I already have funds committed. In short, just as I try to diversify by factors such as industry, capitalization, growth vs. value, and so on, ... I will diversify with amount of funds committed to a purchase. Paul
