> I don’t know any investor who puts 100% of their money into a single stock

You clearly don't follow very many "meme stock" communities.



Those are categorized as speculators not investors.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but on this case isn't this a tautology?

Since investing 100% in a single stock makes one a speculator, not investor, then by definition no investor invests 100% in a single stock.


The key difference between a speculator and an investor lies in their financial goals, not the number of stocks they hold. A speculator seeks short-term profits, often through high-risk trades, while an investor focuses on building long-term wealth through, steady, strategic investments.


"No true Scotsman" strikes again.
