>This will provide us with an idea as to whether you are a prudent investor or simply a gambler married to some particular stocks like the rest of us...<

LOL—whom are you speaking for?

GTCB is one of my three large biotech holdings, which are, in descending order of size, MNTA, GTCB, and IDIX. (GTCB used to be the largest, but MNTA’s share price has risen dramatically since I bought.)

I have conservative non-biotech holdings such as muni bonds, REITs, and closed-end funds, so I don’t consider myself a reckless gambler. Rather, when it comes to biotech, I like to concentrate DD so that I understand a few companies well rather than a lot of companies poorly.
