The oldest advice in risk management is this little ditty: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" It's obvious on its face: if you drop the one basket, you may lose all the eggs in just one accident. Why not carry two baskets, or three, or four, or how many. ? Well, what we're talking about here is diversifying the risk, and making the situation less fragile: that is more able to absorb.
