I've been pondering this a bit myself the last while, wondering if I need to up my risk level a bit. I have investments and I have speculation plays, but I'm never willing to put a ton into the latter. You see these massive sums people put in, and I feel like such a boring turtle in comparison....chipping away at small but consistent gains... a few hundred here, a couple thousand there. But pushing all your chips in on one stock? Man, I just don't have the balls for that. Maybe if it was in my 20s and didn't have the entire family's finances on my shoulders...but even then, I wasn't quite that bold.
