there are risk in all investment
even single stock like microsoft
at one time even APPLE was close to bankrupt
that's why we don't buy single stock
if we do, it's probably like $100-1,000
money that we can live if we lose it all
instead, buy the whole market
if the whole market when bankrupt
than apocalypse is here

I wasn't suggesting putting all your money into one company. But like you said there's risk in all investment, and if someone decideds to buy single stocks, might invest in a safer company. When Apple almost went bankrupt was actually a really good time to invest in its stock. Buying for really low and see how the stock bounced back up. But it is gambling, so it's up to whoever wants to take the risk.
