<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1577570, member: 37498&quot;]This rule holds true for virtually everything in life, but the answers aren&#039;t always simple.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, when diversifying investments, much depends on how one categorize things.&nbsp; My portfolio is very diversified by most standards, but 95%+ of my investments depend on our economy and the value of the dollar.&nbsp; That&#039;s a lot of different colored eggs in one basket.&nbsp; Should I try to lower my investments that are tied to the economy in an effort to further to diversify my investments, or would that be less diversification?&nbsp; i.e. Sell some stocks and real estate and buy different kinds of PM (gold, platinum, silver, etc.).&nbsp; Should I look for other non-perishable physical assets that are easy to buy and sell and would still have value in any economic condition?&nbsp; (Guns, ammo, tools, art, oil, etc)</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know, and I don&#039;t really think it&#039;s worth losing any sleep over until I&#039;m ready to retire and I become dependent on my investments.&nbsp; Then, preserving wealth will become a priority.&nbsp; For now, if I lose some of my investment capital because the price of silver goes down to $5/Oz, it&#039;s all good.&nbsp; I&#039;ll just use some of my income to buy a whole lot more silver.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
