Does anyone else feel like HN is somewhat ironically a highly risk adverse community? (I say ironically because you'd think a community of those working in new tech would be more risk seeking than your average person) Seems like every time an individual stock is brought up there's 10 people claiming you're "gambling" with a disproportional amount of risk if you do anything but buy the index for every person that dares buy a company stock.
