This caught my eye. I think it is a cheap shot and worthy of an apology.
At the 'I wanna be rich - stocks and options trading course', once upon a long time ago, which had very little material effect other than to fleece my $ for a 'dumb and dumber' intro to charting and an annual subscription to a charting package and data which were no better than what one can obtain freely (sorry, bit of a rant there), the instructor impressed upon us a most important perspective, perhaps the most important perspective when taking into account one's own circumstances.
It's not and never is or will be about volume invested, of dollars or shares or options, because everyone's situation is different. It's only about % invested and returned, % of holdings, % diversity, % at risk, % at growth, or % upside, or % downside. The % view brings relativity with it. So for example, if one makes say a nice % on any instrument while managing a 5k, or 50k, or 500k portfolio in my book is equal to the fund manager making the same % on a 5m, or 50m, or 500m portfolio.
Volume of $ invested does not equate to commitment, only % does. One might also consider that faith in a company may have no bearing whatsoever on whether, or when, one chooses to invest or disinvest.
Just saying.
