[USER=43636]@Telamelo[/USER] covers much of my thoughts very nicely , where i differ is i am very unlikely to buy up to a 40% weighting of a stock , normally more than 20% makes me feel uncomfortable

now the one exception was an adventure in BSL several years ago when they did that cap. raise @ 40 cents ( and consolidated 6 shares into 1 giving a 'new share ' value of $2.40 ) i already held a tidy parcel of BSL after buying it in the turmoil before the cap. raise buying as low as 27 cents ( $1.62 a 'new share' ) now i intended to buy in the SPP but the paperwork got lost , so after a long call to BSL a staff member organised that i could buy an institutional-sized placement through a full-sized broker ( seems at the time i could barely squeak into that category ) and eventually BSL worked up to about 20% of the portfolio via capital gains ( i have since sold out of both holdings of BSL little realizing the share price would more than double again from my selling price )

for me , ( currently) i try to keep a holding below 20% of the total portfolio , by taking timely profits

cheers
