>I stay within my area of expertise, electronics and in particular the semiconductor industry, I have done quite well independent of investment style. >Mine is boring and easy, stay long - but not for too long, learned that the hard way. That is your style then. If we can learn from are mistakes than we are better for it. For me, I made some big kills early on in my investing years. To protect assets and lower risk. It was time for a portfolio and diversity (discipline). Every individual investor that can accept personal responsibility has to start somewhere. It's my opinion that once a individual investor achieves what they consider scale. If you have also decided your going to be an investor for the long term. A diversified portfolio is a must. I am a skier, not recently though. Just because I can make it down a double diamond trail at Killington. Doesn't make me an expert. However, I can still have style in doing it. Once an individual investor has a portfolio. IMO- Your success or mistakes will determine how outside your own discipline you will venture. RR
