Most investors holding individual tech names alongside an index fund and a sector fund own the same companies two or three times over without noticing. James Taylor argues the tax bill on exiting matters more than the concentration itself, and that the fix is a schedule rather than a sale. John Belton takes the other side, that concentration in the index is rational because earnings are concentrated too.
Taylor runs a $6 billion practice for engineers in Palo Alto, so his clients hold these names as employees rather than as positions.
Recorded before the September Fed decision.
