Albert --- I like the way you're informed about what YOUR companies (and once you buy stock you ARE an owner!) are doing! Good for you!

Frankly --- I'm glad that everyone is having fun doing this stuff. It is fun - it might not seem like it's all that exciting -- but it can be! And it really doesn't take all that much time to keep track of what the companies you own are doing. That's why I say there's not really a need to have more than 20 -- and that's only if you have big bucks in total. You can track 10 or 15 companies in just a few minutes time. And with BIG best of breed stuff -- you don't need to look every 15 seconds to see if they've hiccuped!

Back in the day when I was trading -- I had to stop and take a breath... you're on pins and needles every second worrying about their performance and what the news is and whether or not it was good or bad and how to trade that info. Funny -- I make more money now doing way less. That has to be a win win right?
