re: "I may diversify on the next run, but I am not sure."

It definitely helps to diversify a little. It can mean the difference between being merely irked or totally stressed out. Anavex right now is like a lot of stocks that suffer a temporary misfortune. e.g. Ford, but eventually pull out of it. There was a period when things looked pretty dire for the domestic auto industry. Being a GM fan of sorts, I didn't share my cousin's faith in Ford, but what do you know. Sometimes a little faith (along with knowledge) can really pay off. So I missed out on Ford, oh well.

re: "...since we are on the outside it stresses us out the most"

I've been missing too much of the good summer weather on stocks. I find something like mowing the lawn or painting (and by that I mean something like wall painting) to be calming for stress. Something that doesn't require a lot of thinking, you can see progress as you go, and then get to experience a certain amount of satisfaction when you're done.

I suppose that could also include housework but no need to go to extremes here. :)

Now to get the deck back on my vintage lawn tractor. Something else to dote on besides stocks helps. btw, Kevlar belts are virtually indestructible compared to regular rubber v-belts, if you ever find yourself sprucing up something that uses v-belts.
