A decade after the financial crisis, stocks continue to push new all-time highs. While there are always worries that could keep investors on the sidelines, this year's Wall Street advance has been especially volatile as many pundits cite reasons the end could be nigh for this bull run.

Diversify those profitsNot being prepared for multiple outcomes is one of the biggest risks right now. That's because many investor portfolios are over-concentrated in just a few stocks. Technology has been one of the best sectors over the last 10 years, and after a decade of incredible returns, just a few of these companies make up a very large percentage of the S&P 500.
