Hmmm - the game is afoot - one more time.

To repeat:

Postscript, 4th ed, Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor - the gust of which - it only takes one stock whether you picked it by luck or skill is a matter of belief.

Or you goggle up Bernstein's - The 15 Stock Diversification Myth - which if you read 'lefthandedly' - heh, heh,heh - your odds are one in six - better than lotto - AND they have winter snow in Missouri.

75% balanced index, 10% REIT index - and, and 15% individual stocks.

Hope springs eternal.

P.S. - the 10% REITS are to help the wider woman (Norwegian) - to bump up the the overall portfolio dividends.
