The_Dan_Haren 01/23/22 12:07:23 PM #17:	Putting everything in index funds is the safest bet but its not necessarily the best. The best is diverse investments where you have a large chunk in index funds but you also have some riskier investments, particularly if you're young. Even bogleheads recommends this. I want to get into real estate as well including REITs. Need to research more about that. <cite>The_Dan_Haren posted [p:962002568] in Alright, I...

I want to get into real estate as well including REITs. Need to research more about that. So long as you stay humble. Where people get in trouble is mistaking their luck for skill, then going deep into a different investment because they believe they have some special talent for it and get big losses. You can also get more "risk" out of riskier index funds or ETFs, rather than buying individual securities. A Random Walk will introduce you to more risky investments as well, including the basics of derivatives. The only big thing it's missing is crypto, but odds are you will be able to fill in the gaps about the nature of crypto investing. --- <insert sig here> <cite>Jabodie posted [p:962002907] in Alright, I...

dodgefan91 01/23/22 12:47:13 PM #23:	Leave your retirement account in safe index funds and just set it up for recurring consistent payments. Set it and forget it. Then have a separate account if you want to gamble on riskier stuff. But for your own sanity and stability, I still like having my "play" account about 50/50 split between index funds and individual investments. Just helps to add some stability. <cite>dodgefan91 posted [p:962003556] in Alright, I...
