Naw. AAPL is only about a third of the total. Next highest is MMM and the
rest in various mutual funds from value to growth. That, and several Limited
Partners in Real Estate and Petroleum areas. But, there has been NOTHING
approaching AAPL in Growth and it is becoming a Value holding and is headed
for the Dow 30 after the 7:1 split. Also, I feel that it will be paying at
least 2.75% dividend in the next couple of years.

Concerning, "all in one basket", someone should have told that to my BIL. He
let some "ANAL-list" broker put everything he had in a speculative Biotech
firm that was supposed to 'Viral' with a newly developed treatment for
Smallpox called ST-246. So bought into it at 2 -3 bucks a share before the
drug was released. Speculation and, consequently, the price increase. When
it hit $12 I suggested that he sell SOME of it. NAW, he was holding out for
$15 - $17 range. We ALL begged him to at least a quarter of it at $14+!
Nope, he'd have NONE of that. Well, a little problem developed with the
company. It seemed that they had forgot that they had partnered with another
outfit in development of the drug. So before they got the "for sure" US
Government contract that my BIL thought would make him a millionaire, his
company got it's ass sued by it forgotten partner. The stock plummeted back
down and now trades between $2 and $3.50. In that 10 year period he has
nothing gained. Truly a Sad Sack Situation...
