Re: Why

I've had a fairly good chunk invested in Berkshire for long enough I'm at a nearly 700% gain, but that pales to the gain in the roughly equal amount of Apple I bought shortly after the 2008 crash. Because of those gains the two account for the clear majority of my retirement despite not adding to those positions since - so I get a yearly call from an advisor at Fidelity suggesting I diversify. Good thing I didn't listen!

I did sell half my Apple stake late last year because I figure it has to have a correction at some point, and I really should diversify somewhat. Still holding that as cash in the account, I haven't come up with anything that looks like a good value in the current market. Same problem Buffett has been having, I guess. Maybe I should have bought Apple back when it was at its low a few weeks ago.
