Just reminds me of the fairytale: "The Woman with the eggs", by Hans Christian Andersen - it's quite good and resembles the situation pretty well - with the eggs and just keeping them all in one basket and then dream away until it goes over the top and reality suddenly hits in, the poem can be found in various places if you search for it anyways - didn't think I could post it here since it was a translated version I found, and not the original .. "the woman with the eggs"

But don't people ever learn? Risk Profiles and such - just the basic stuff around investments (yes, it's an investment to put money in the bank too - it comes with a risk - most people just don't seem to get it) or just putting money you actually depend on anywhere actually? - apparently not, but i'm guessing that's a business too!
