(e) To invest any funds of my estate in any stocks, bonds, notes or other securities or property, real or personal, without regard to the principle of diversification or any other statute or general rule oflaw in his, her or its absolute discretion, it being my intention to give my personal representative the broadest investment powers possible, providing such investments do not unnecessarily prevent the prompt settlement of my estate.
