I thought the medium/moderate risk investment risks were especially well explained Brilliant post, really good summary of the various investment types and the portfolio which can be built from it.

If you stick by your asset allocation, everything should be taken care of. I'd guess the pie allocated to real estate is now shrinking compared to other asset classes. If you regularly contribute to your investment portfolio according to the asset allocation, you are automatically buying more shares of real estate. If you rebalance, then you are also moving money from other asset classes into real estate. @Andy – I would stick to your long-term strategy.

My question to you is now that the real estate bubble is collapsing, and stocks are faltering, whats the next investment vehicle the masses will move their money to? Thanks Andy I enjoyed seeing a complete list of investment vehicles.

It depends on what is it indexing. For instance, bond index would be low-risk, S&P500 index would be moderate, etc. @Mrs. Micah – I assume you meant index funds or ETFs.

I was thinking S&P500, and moderate sounds about right. But good point about bonds. That makes sense. I was thinking S&P500, and moderate sounds about right. But good point about bonds.

I think it's safe to use the terms interchangeably. @Barbara - welcome to Moolanomy. Great point about inflation risk; in fact, I have a post about it coming up next week. @Jason – thank you.

Though sometimes the word "risk" can be misunderstood. I believe our biggest risk financially is that our money will not grow as fast as inflation and taxes will take it away. Which is why we can't put all our money in the bank, and think we're living risk free. Barbara Stanny, author, "Prince Charming Isn't Coming: How Women Get Smart about Money."
