[QUOTE="traveler, post: 125268, member: 1954"] I didn't post [U]just[/U] to refute your statement but also to bring to light the fact that institutional owners of the stock are a bigger part of the equation than most anyone believes. I really dont feel it's a good situation and I strongly feel UPS never should have gone public! :confused1 Only 10% of the outstanding stock was offered on the IPO but each time a retired UPSer converts shares from A to B and later sells on the open market those shares increase the B shares and are available to anyone to be bought and sold in the market. :wink: As to diversification, it does protect an individual investor from taking a big hit on one stock or a group of stocks in one industry. However, it also keeps an individual investor from making a big profit from one stock or industry. If one has the time and inclination to actively watch the market and has a good feel for it then it is better to concentrate ones efforts. [B]:w00t: I am pleased that you have blamed George W Bush for the advances in the market. He seems to get blamed for everything else that happens so why not this![/B] [/QUOTE]
