More Than Stocks,More Than Bonds

There was a time when once you had learned about diversifying
your portfolio, the rest was pretty easy. Never hold too much of
any one stock or any one sector of stocks, and buy abroad, as
well as at home.
The rest of the world’s stock markets, and other asset classes
like bonds and commodities, provided what investors needed to
diversify—foreign markets and other investments than stocks
that would move in the opposite direction of equities in the
United States.
