Hi t
What would I say now in June 2012?
Nothing is risk-free.
Don't ever borrow to invest
Buying your own home is a good idea for both financial and non-financial reasons. But renting is a viable alternative.
Buying your own home could be a good idea for both financial and non financial reasons but it could also be a horrific idea for both financial and non financial reasons. It has certainly been horrific for many people stuck in 100% negative equity for the past 5 years and counting.
“Stocks for the really long run” would have been a better Siegel book title.
So, as it turned out almost everything set out in the last post of this thread was off the mark to a greater or lesser extent.
My approach is to stay global, hold an allocation to emerging and frontier markets, invest in large cap dividend stocks in the West.
Hold gold, silver, commercial bonds and cash and hope for capital preservation as best as possible.
