You are definitely not crazy. You only
write when you have something important
to add. If everybody did their DD like you
Prior to investing they have no nothing
to worry about pending the topline results.

I'd say having $1.2M invested in a single stock is crazy, period, especially for a risky biotech with a nearly life or death binary event coming up, but if you own the aviation company you started I assume you can afford to lose it all and not lose much sleep over it. Wifey may not be too happy though! For > 90% of the rest of us, that's more than we can likely accumulate in an IRA before retirement hits. I mean heck, AMRN and ARNA are by far the biggest two positions in my combined accounts - playing with numbers, even if AMRN hits $30 (10x) and ARNA hits $120 (3x) that's still only worth a fraction of what you already have invested in AMRN alone. Then again, if neither hits it big I still have lots of other stocks/funds to help fund my retirement - and the value of my taxable accounts will start to go up drastically in 3 yrs when my mortgage is paid off, will be funneling all of that money into (hopefully) tax deferred investments, but they won't be muni bonds - anyone who currently owns or had them has been getting killed over the last few years.
