AllenHelps you to understand that the best way to achieve a financial goal is by not putting all your eggs in one basket (strategy).

Looking to dialoguge on this topic so let me begin by saying this; I do not believe that we should have an open border, however in a country where we enjoy the melting pot status, where Ellis Island brought in the ancestors of some of our finest citizens, where none of us originated here, and also where we brought in millions against their will(slavery), I think it only fitting that we work to make a way that people from south of the border can come here and enjoy the fruits of this nation just like those who came from Europe, Asia and elsewhere.

Other times there is a basket of choices like stocks and bonds (including mutual funds).

We have seen the low hanging fruit exploited. 

I don't suggest putting all your eggs in one basket and focusing on one thing and one thing only, could be a recipe for disaster.

The "low fruit" is gone, but the area still has some good deals especially when compared to most parts of CA.   

My grandparents had no problem picking fruit, nuts, vegetables, etc... to make a living.

I sent a gift card, letter, and huge gift basket to them both.

Is it better to buy many separate fourplexes or put all my eggs in one basket and buy a larger apartment complex?

Been pondering the idea of buying up some land with the intention of having chickens, goats, etc while also growing some sort of fruits, and ideally the land has some timber I can sell for a few grand.
