    That is very, very bold. Some people would go so far as to call it reckless. Hopefully you’ve been in it for a while and have enjoyed the ride up.
    Haway man Geordie hes ganna be areet in the lang run.. :)
    Don't worry, I'm sure ZPZ has got another 3 or 4 companies to spread the risk that will keep growing.
    Personal Responsibility - Sad but True :D

    But, of course, when the biggest company is hit, it will drag down the whole market. 
    Be careful what you wish for.

    How do people with such a small portfolio manage to keep it up against the efficient frontier?

    I can't understand what the fuss is about. These are normal fluctuations. It's not even at a 1 month low.

    A nice big crash with be a lovely thing. Rather get it out of the way sooner rather than later.

    I don't know.
    The return on this  balanced 4 stock portfolio is always moving but between 50% and 60% up.

    Is that about average for the  20 month return on  the "efficient frontier"?

    If you don't care about the fallout:- millions thrown out of work etc.

    But, that aside, the people clasping hands for a big crash tomorrow are generally in the same attitude as last week and last year - sooner or later they're going to be right but don't dismiss the long-term opportunity cost of that strategy, even if they have to.
