However, you appear to be lauding the value of diversification. What does Warren Buffet have to say about that? "The greatest investor of all time – Warren Buffett – once stated that “diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you are doing.” Mr Buffett has a point – most of the wealthiest investors are the furthest thing from diversified" After all, individuals like Nick Molnar and Anthony Eisen don't choose to "diversify", do they? Neither does Tim Goyder...... Yes, most of the wealthiest investors are the furthest thing from diversified. Sorry, but I sense some envy in the words of your post...

After all, individuals like Nick Molnar and Anthony Eisen don't choose to "diversify", do they? ROTFL. They have been flogging huge parcels of shares for years to buy real estate. Then they decided to sell the company to SQ. You can bet your life they will liquidate their SQ holdings ASAP after the takeover.
