  4. 1.) I learned how to read the stock graphs which earlier I had no clue how to do.
    2.) I learned and somewhat already knew you don't want to put all of your money into one stock because if it drops dramatically you won't have any other good stocks to make up for it.

  5. They say it is better to have more then a couple stocks so you lower the systematic risk. Also when you invest for the long haul, you can wait out volatility and when you withdraw you can use asset allocation to protect from volatility.

  8. I like how Kim said it is like a cushion, but I know in an insurance term they sometimes call them umbrellas, they like cover the whole thing so you don't want just one stock.

  9. You need to diversify so that if one things goes down you have another one to pick it up. The more diversity you have the more of a chance you will not loose money.
