Well, as is probably true of most portfolios these days, mine’s a’sufferin’. Sector Concentration is not for the faint of heart. A friend had most of his holdings in NASDAQ a while back and lost 75% of his portfolio.

How’s your portfolio doing these days?

I’m sticking with sector concentration for now, diversification is for mature people ( 🙂 )

For years, I had holdings in three different “lifestyle” funds at one time in my 401(k) because I didn’t understand their differences. All I knew is that they were different.
