Is MRK a risky investment?

Owning a single company like Merck is riskier than owning a diversified fund: if this one business stumbles there is nothing else in the holding to cushion it, and single stocks can swing far more than a broad ETF. Most beginners keep individual names to a small slice of a mostly fund-based portfolio.
