<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1487007, member: 37839&quot;]Over the long term--obviously stocks.&nbsp; Real Estate was quite hot in the early part of the 21st century, but cooled off considerably.&nbsp; Bonds at the present time have an extremely low rate of return, and security of investment is only as good as a &quot;bond call.&quot;&nbsp; Gold is presently at an unsustainable high, and due for a major drop.&nbsp; If one had gold 20 years ago, and sold within the past year, they did very well, but this is definitely an anomaly.&nbsp; Silver is low now, so there are some investment potentials there.&nbsp; I&#039;d say diversification, with emphasis on stocks for the long term is probably the best bet.&nbsp; Most trust portfolios have a 60/40 distribution between fixed investments (bonds, real estate, etc) and stocks and precious metals, with the 60% tending towards stocks.&nbsp; Remember, the only way to lose money in any investment is to &quot;sell low&quot; on a short term basis.&nbsp; People want instant gratification, and that doesn&#039;t happen--over the long haul, stocks hold up the best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
