You must have a talent for trading then. I, however, don't so I go with the diversification program. Have done very well in 18 years of doing it. :) can't complain! My brother-in-law works in finance for a private equity firm and all he does is trade. Young, brash, ambitious guy with a thirst for beating the market. I keep telling him in the end I'll still beat his record. So far I believe I am.... it's about the risk aspect. With less diversification you take bigger risks. It can surely pay off well if you are in the right but most people aren't. Kudos to you for being in the right, question is how long does the trend last? These days, I don't even watch my portfolio -- it's grown so much that I don't bother playing with it anymore. So I let it fly on its own with complete diversification. If the dollar dies, I'm covered. If inflation goes up, I'm covered. If the market flies, I'm there. If the housing market collapses, I'm waiting in the wings to buy in. I have never been more excited than this opportunity of a poor housing market to really rake it in when the time comes. Good luck with your endeavors! I enjoy reading about them.
