LOL. Unfortunately, this is the only stock I own directly. The rest of my money is in mutual funds and are pretty much on autopilot. Prior to 2002, I had all my money in a portfolio of individual stocks. Then in 2002, I decided that I wanted less volatility in my life and moved all my assets into mutual funds. The sum total is diversified and I maintain my preferred allocation through additional purchases through my ongoing incremental savings program. Very neat and simple and no fuss...and most importantly, my portfolio doesn't experience huge negative swings anymore. However, every now and then, I can't resist buying a stock, if I think it can make me above average returns for a few years.
