You can never tell what an individual stock will do. On top today, on the bottom tomorrow. Spreading your risk by diversifying is by far the best way to get the best from the market with the least risk. You can earn over 8% annually on average and even more. So that means you can basically double your money every 8 to ten years, and see fantastic returns if you keep adding more money in. Don't sell out when there is a crash, just keep adding more money.
Ya, I'm a pus, I like the safe "Random Walk" strategy. I own a few of those stocks individually you mentioned and they are doing great, but my biggest holding in vanguard total stock market and its been great, especially lately.
I have a question. I think that Jim Cramer is a fraud and just advises people to follow a strategy that benefits his sponsors like etrade and such. You agree?
