Apple Drops as IPhone Models Reflect Shift From Pioneer

The company isn’t pricing the 5C as cheaply as competitors’ handsets, with the phone costing $549 and higher without a two-year contract, according to Apple’s U.S. website, showing it’s unwilling to trade its industry-leading profit margins for increased market share.

Analysts at UBS AG, Bank of America Corp. and Credit Suisse Group AG downgraded Apple’s stock, saying the high price will limit sales in emerging markets..

How much do you diversify? I currently hold 5 stocks, each being 20% of my capital. Let's say a terror attack like 9-11 happens again, I will have one stock gaps 50% and the others maybe around 10%. In total this is 18% drawdown. Let's say I already have been in a 5% drawdown around that time, than I'd be down 23%. It's very hard to cover a loss this big. This scenario may be somewhat unlikely, but it just needs to happen one time in your trading career and you're busted. Further, it doesn't need to be terror or any sort of that. It can also be bankruptcy over night, which can make a stop drop easily 50%...

How do you protect against those situations?
