In today's episode, I'll go into a bit more detail on one of the more popular podcasts I have recorded to date. The topic is concentration risk. I've already covered what concentrated risk is in a previous episode so we will talk about some specific strategies to reduce your risk. 

Concentration risk tends to happen slowly over time. It’s the amount of risk you take by investing in one—or a couple of similar positions. I'm not going to go into a more complex definition of concentration risk as honestly, I don't think anyone cares. Instead, I'm going to ask you my favorite concentrated risk-related question. If you were not a current employee of this company, how much of their stock would you own in your own portfolio?
