The investing in what you know is also spoken of in great detail in the terrific book from Peter Lynch “One Up On Wall Street” This post actually makes me want to go pick up a copy of these insights from Buffett, sounds like a good read.

Robert Kiyosaki wrote a couple of article on diversification. He’s not a fan of it. He quotes Warren Buffett a lot in these articles. I think its a good supplement to your blog entry.

Good post.

I refer to investing in what you know as “Everyday Investing.” Collect a list of products and services you use on a daily or weekly basis and spend some time analyzing the stocks of those companies. Dollars to donuts you’ll do better investing in those businesses than in a diversified mess.

Diversification leads to mediocre performance. Look no further than the average balanced mutual fund. No big losses, but no big gains either. You’re avoiding risk, which is where you want to be for the rewards.
