Good points man! I tend to be more into index funds and some mutual funds. I have REITs, Vanguard Target Date (with the typical blend Total Stock Market/International Stock Market/Some Bonds), TRowe Target Date, TRowe Health & Sciences Mutual funds and large position with AAPL through brokerage account (make some good change on it during the spike and got back in, will hold it through next year if it hopefully gets some strong momentum with Chinese deal). Also getting ready to add Vanguard International Developed ETF (VEA) and some positions with BKLN. That would hopefully give me some diversification should sh&t hit da fan.
Not too willing to spend huge amount of time handpicking stocks. Make good money out of FNMA and bailed out. For those with big cohones that could be chance to win big if bet goes their way.
