[EquisMetaStock Group] Risking 2% for investment, but what to do with the the rest of 98%?

Account balance is $100,000, I would like to risk 2% [$100,000 x 2% = 
$2,000] for my investment and would like to purchase XYZ stock at $10, 
and project the target level at $14 with stop loss level at $8. 

How much shares should I purchase?

In case 1, number of shares = $2,000 / $10 = 200 shares.
I should invest $2,000 for this trade, and require only $2,000 for this 
investment. Do I put $98,000 into saving account?

In case 2, number of shares = $2,000 / ($10-$8) = 1,000 shares
I should risk $2,000 for this trade, and require 1,000 x $10 =$10,000 
for this investment. Do I put $90,000 into saving account?

Does anyone have any suggestion on how much shares I should purchase 
for 2% risk? How to utilize more capital for investment and still 
maintain 2% risk?
Thank you 
Eric
