<<<<< And Bill Gates must have been gambling to keep so much stock in Microsoft, right? <<<< He probably realistically has no choice but to do that and if there is something very wrong there is a good chance he will know about it before the average investor and just fix it. I don't think having everything in one stock is foolhardy, but it does change the expected results from owning five stocks. The chances of both bigger gains and loses is increased somewhat as compared to a five stock portfolio...it is just simple combinatorial mathematics. I personally would not have the fortitude to follow this strategy. Someone else made the point that if such a strategy is successful, one might be tempted to repeat the procedure which sooner or later is likely to cause a bad result. All that being said, THQI would appear to be a good stock to use for a single stock strategy. BTW, does anyone know what sort of key man life insurance the company carries on Farrell? Now that Stagger Lee is back, I think I will shift more of my money into THQI also. A better harbinger of a rally is not yet known to mankind.
