Same here. I have as I've gotten older and started a family of my own I've realized the importance of being diversified. I for to many years was stubborn and had all my eggs in one basket so to speak. I remember watching the last market meltdown. I think it ended up at 6400 or 6600 on the DOW. I started watching kramer on the idiot box everyday and tried my best back then to figure out the market listening to him. Time went on, I had ample time to invest, and I learned a ton from that period in my life but I never invested. Looking back not long ago I realized what missed out on. No worries though, to live is to learn. The same pattern repeats time and time again. I won't miss that boat again.
