Re: diversification vs. INTC
Of course diversification tends to level out your returns and lower risk, but the biggest returns (and possibly losses) accrue to those who take the big risks, such as large margined positions in one or two stocks. Diversification in and of itself has no intrinsic value and cannot be exchanged for food. It sounds a little like sour grapes when someone criticizes another's great returns with, "Well, you may have made a fortune, but you aren't diversified," as if that somehow makes your dollar of profit worth less than 100 cents.

Carl,
RE:"Ja, it is twice that good as I maintain a 50/50 debit/equity ratio. On the solid rock I stand, aka tierra firma,
humble carl"

You're probably the most ardent Intel bull I've ever seen.

Jim
