: So again, going back to the old thing of diversifying risk Lipper: Diversifying risk, and you diversify that diversifying managers, diversifying time horizons, diversifying purpose. Forbes: So, it really is preservation more than trying to hit for the fences, that if you preserve, youll grow with the market and leave the home runs for others who are willing to strike out a lot Lipper: Well, its interesting you use strike out and home runs.
