I just read the BFL for ASICMINER two pages ago and I would like to add my take on this. I got myself a BFL single 60GH for 18.2BTC with some of my ASICMINER "dividends" instead of buying more shares (of course I did with most of the rest of the divs!).
The idea was, as a miner, it doesn't matter how profitable ASICMINER as a whole it is just how much hashing power it provides per share. The extra point here is ASICMINER is increasing mining power per share, and doing it easier, faster and cheaper than other companies do. Plus the hardware sells of course.
Now as a diversification attempt I got myself 18.2BTC/60GHps=3.296703297GHps per BTC, It was a gamble on the future that BFL would not be "that" late that 1 share of asicminer would reach 3.296703297*2.4=7.912087912 GHps before the mining device arrive and I start hashing with it, of course I accounted for the divs happening in that time.
If this gamble were in my favor it would be more profitable that I got that miner instead of buying "more" asicminer shares with those 18.2BTC.
This is what I did. Please tell me where I am fundamentally flawed and I deserve to be "deeply fried" <-(got the reference
