But at least one money expert is sounding the alarm that some investors may be overexposed to individual stocks. For investors, the market environment has been "a bit of a two-edged sword," according to JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade.

But it helps explain the slow leakage of cash out of equity funds in recent years, illustrated here since the start of 2018.
