I speculate from time-to-time, but I do not consider it a sound investment strategy -- which is why your handful of highly correlated speculative stocks can only be called a "diversified portfolio" in your dictionary of "Billisms". For those of us who speak plain English, it is not a portfolio, but rather a risky bet that is likely to cost you 80% of your "investment".

That's plainly foolish. You're unreachable. I give up on you. You can keep your bet. William, My bet was to tell you I told you so when AMZN folds. I still plan on doing that. AMZN will fold and they have done nothing right when i comes to retailing. It amazes me that you cannot see that. There is no return on invested capital, tangible book value is negatives and no improvement in sight. AMZN does not have a clue as to ho to retail successfully. You are listening to analysts that never ran a retail operation in their lives and you believe they know something about retail. Glenn
