Restauranteur A and B both have profitable restaurants and $1 million in savings. A invested his profits in stocks. B invested his profits in the building that houses his restaurant. A's resto is bankrupt. B's is on sabbatical. Vertical integration as a de-risker.

If the crisis lasts for 2 years, Resto A walks away from restaurant and gets stock dividends. Resto B makes no restaurant money and makes no rent money. So Resto B has a lot of concentration risk.

Trade offs :) I might argue that stocks won’t be paying any dividends over 2 years or that B could turn his restaurant space into a grocery store, testing clinic, or some newly demanded retail space, but I do agree with you. Though, dividends are a shitty consolation prize.

Would rather have a better chance of keeping the big winner with the risk of losing out on the dividends. Eggs in many baskets vs eggs in one basket. Tough to decide.
