Yes, and no. I own some FUNDS that are larger....but no single stock. Of course, for full disclosure, I got out of the stock market completely about a year ago and have recently started back into it slowly.

I have never claimed to be an expert in the field....but if it makes you feel any better, I manage my fathers life savings (it is actually less money than my house, but it is all he worked for all of his life and I am intent on not fucking it up) but when I bought V originally I did not buy for him because I was afraid of him losing anything on it. I spent about 15% of his holdings on it today and that is saying a lot. I have been averaging a conservative 5-7% on his stuff because I would not take any chances...but today I went out on a limb because I still think it will be at least $150 by the end of the year.
