    Almost Redundant, all or nothing punts are unnecessary risk. You can keep half of the profit invested in that share and use the rest in another one. Or buy a bric fund and have less risk and still probably do quite nicely. You've only made an average of 25% a year and there are funds that have done way better than that with far less concentration of risk.

    You seem to be taking an unnecessarily large gamble based on past returns that don't justify it.
