Your advice seems very wise. I got burned two times holding too much of one company. I also find it more fun following 4-5 companies. Some days the oils are up, or the banking or airlines; and if you own differant sectors, at least one of your companies will likely get a fun ride. I also sleep better. On Nscp, you say you are short. Can you explain if it is because you believe the company is going out of business? or is it because you see the stock declining a little more. I bought Oxford health this month and many shorters were predicting 10/share etc. Last night a strong rumor came out that Aetna is going to buy it and we closed up 3+ points. I think the same is possible with Nscp and also I believe the company is working to right the wrongs (I would not want to be short here). Im asking you because I am considering averaging down here and selling the calls (20's) while I wait for the stock to finish basing and get up momentum. Your input would be appreciated!
