M* How Many Retirement Holdings Do You Need? Depends Who You Ask
"Grey and Fox squirrels ... hide their food by burying it in many different places underground. Scientists call this 'scatter hoarding.' Why do they do this? It is actually a smart thing to do! If another animal finds a store of food and eats it, the squirrel will still have many other stores of food and won't go hungry."
Too many holdings, but hate the day(s) have to pick which ones to sell, been thinning a little and it hurts to see old buddies going bye, bye..... till I see results (money)

Have a warm Sunday, Derf
@Scott - ditto, but probably only half the sprawl you maintain based on the holdings I see you note or illustrate from time to time.
