Very foolish if you have good uses for miles. (Diversification is wise for major earners as it reduces risk of complete loss). GM stock is worth more than $0 even though it might become worthless. Only on the day I know GM is bankrupt does their stock become worth $0.

Agreed!

There are two categories of miles earners: those who have good uses for the miles they earn and those to let them pile up. Those who use them as fast as they earn them would be quite foolish to value miles at ZERO!
