There are degrees to it. Slices of all mortgages are less risky than a single mortgage. Slices of all tech stocks are less risky than individual tech stocks. Slices of all American stocks is less risky than slices of one industry in America. And slices of all equities trades across the world is less risky than slices of America

Bet on humanity :)

If you've not watched The Big Short (2015)[0], it's a really excellent film.
