I feel more confident having money in a company I know way more about than any other. I still feel unease since you are always told to never have all your eggs in one basket, does anyone else risk the way I am?
I can see not holding too many stocks to make sure that your gains count. If you are an owner of a company and have control then having all of your money, income, health benefits and such there is fine. It would make me uneasy to keep all of that with one company where I didn't have a controlling influence though...but maybe that is just me.
