Stocks, bonds, Real Estate, Commodities and Cash

[william the wie]

Such a model portfolio with equal portions in all 2-20 asset classes, you think you need is usually a very good way to minimize losses. Don't lose the money, margin of safety and other terms are used to drive home the importance of minimizing losses as opposed to trying for home-runs.

I am bringing this up now because cash in the form of CDs is increasing, bonds are falling and real estate is in trouble due to rising interest rates. Momentum investors will soon be selling equities and commodities as balanced portfolios rebalance.
