Even with selling shares over the years for big purchases I still have 25,000 or so shares. I always joke that Apple stock
has made my life possible. After Apple, I started putting chunks of money into AMZN and that's done well too.

I am now doing the same with NVDA. So far I've accumulated 2,500 shares. If I had $300,000, it would definitely all
go into NVDA.

Someone who puts a lot of their money into one or two stocks is someone with little sense or have other a huge safety net or wealth where they can tolerate the risk.

Lehman, BlackBerry, Enron, Sears — many unstoppable companies suddenly pivot to distress. Look at Intel and HP is probably another example. At one point Cisco was the most valuable company… it goes on and on.

Laws have changed since. We have info and tools that make it harder to lose move and easier to get out. I'm in few stocks, but not for years and year. The chances of me holding the stock that is about to go zero, are 0.01, and even then, there's stop loss.
World has moved on. Move with the world.

Because we were poor to start with and are only at 17M right now. Our work and kids are here in the DC area. Also, and this is key... I don't want a private island.
