A vote for diversification! Even after last week's big hits in the market, our 401 at work closed Friday with just a $0.35 hit! We have a bunch of different funds we can contribute too. I use the "Life 2040" fund which diversifies and automatically changes to less risky investments as you draw closer to retirement.

You are a wise man.

Some of the stuff I have been doing over the past couple of years, investing wise, come under the heading of:


Don't try this at home

I do have another portfolio that is much better diversified - a 401k like account.
