Me: So is there like a 'Don't put all' or 'Don't take all' rule for stocks?

Business teacher: Oh, it's the 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket' rule

Business teacher: So if you had all pine trees and there were pine beetles, the entire forest would die. But if you had, say, cypress, and oak, and other types of trees, you'd still have some remaining. A comparison to stocks, you know

Me, ever the optimist: Or there would be a huge forest wildfire and it all burns down

Business teacher: Well that's possible too
