Hello Nikkei86,

Yes, that makes sense when you're in college or just out. I did the same thing. I put all of my investable money in 2-3 stocks because from a commission standpoint, it didn't make sense for me to diversify. I almost lost all of my investing dollars on a couple of speculative small companies, but then I caught on to a big run in QCOM which got me back up to even. I learned some good lessons from those days.

Good luck and be careful!

Thanks,

Grant

BTW, how do you reconcile your ten-ten-bagger attitude with investing in "the broad macro moves through various ETFs. ex. RJI, SPY"? From all your arguments, this is a sure way to underperform everything. :P
