i think most conglomerates should be sold.

i think they become vulnerable in a wider economic downturn.. vulnerable to the point where perhaps those rosy dividends become miniscule, or non-existent..

the least adept have already seen such circumstances.

it's the sort of macro thinking you yourself employed years ago as a buyer, and if you look another 20 years further down the road, the big-cap-failure concept doesn't seem so far-fetched.
