Investment Strategy
True diversification isn’t accomplished by investing in three hedge funds instead of one, it’s accomplished by investing in industries where one doesn’t affect the other. Some of the most successful investors don’t even diversify! The best strategy is to research what you invest into and understand the risks, this way you can make sound decisions. The old method of spreading out your bets with the same casino will only guarantee that the house will win.
An alternative investment strategy for your IRA shouldn’t be limited to publicly traded securities like stocks, bonds and mutual funds. IRA rules only restrict specific investments that are self-dealing, therefore, the list of permissible IRA Investments is virtually endless.
