  3. This chapter answers one of the questions that I asked in previous sections, "What if you invest in a company and the company goes bankrupt?" This chapter talks about how important it is to diversify. It's kind of complicated with big growth and small growth and cheap and expensive and all that stuff, but the point is that if you invest your money in many different stocks, then when one goes down, the others can go up and keep you from loosing everything.

  7. @Robert: It seems like it would be really hard to keep track of 100s of different stocks. I couldn't even name that many companies. Maybe that's why people get payed to do this stuff for you.
