After taking a moderate hit in the tech wreck of the securities market in the past 18 months, I have diligently pursued a more diversified mix of stocks in 2001. Of course, energy was one of the areas I invested in, including a piece of Enron. Next year I plan to take $10,000 and bury it in the backyard. DAN WEHRENBERG Stoneham, Mass...
