Being smart with $$ -- Diversify or bust

Why do we diversify our investment portfolios?  Because of a day like today.  The big monthly jobs report says the economy might be weaker than we thought.  That has led stocks to fall.  But a weak economy is often good for bonds and other holdings affected by interest rates.  So bonds, preferred stocks and REITs are all up.  If you are diversified, you're ok today.  If all your money is in Globalstar Inc., a satellite service company, you're having a monumentally bad day.
