One of "10 Stupid Investment Tricks" for the
current market
"Load up on real estate as an alternative to
stocks. I don’t have any argument with advice that points out the value
of real estate as part of an investment portfolio. A dose of real estate can
help lower the risk and volatility of a portfolio. But many investors are
already overweighted to real estate, thanks to their investment in a primary
residence. Homeownership has been a super hedge on stocks during this bear
market. So, before you put more money into real estate, at least take a look at
the way your assets are currently allocated. Chances are you’ve got plenty of
real estate exposure -- especially now that the value of stocks has
plunged."
Some of the
remainder also have general application
