Well done. That would mean you probably were heavily into value stocks and fairly heavily weighted in bonds and real estate. So your portfolio was moderately risky. Fine. What's wrong with little or no risk? Nothing. In fact there is nothing wrong with a lot of risk. The ony problem I have is someone taking unnecessary risk. I trade futures and I don't take unnecessary risks.
Dear groanup,
I'm not really willing to talk much about my specific investments or investment strategies, as already, one can see disparaging remarks posted even against the most abstract comments on the subject.
Suffice it to say, no, I was not heavily weighted in bonds or real estate, nor weighted much at all in either. As well, if I hadn't been cajoled into the purchase of a single dotcom by my (former) broker, I'd have actually come through the bear market ever so slightly to the plus.
Anyway, what's wrong with reducing risk? Nothing. As long as one addresses all the risks to which a particular investor and portfolio might be subject.
