When You're Dissatisfied With The Risk Inherent In Conventional Investment Advice, Then Consider An Alternative Investment Strategy.
Conventional investment strategy is passive.
According to the experts, you just buy and hold a proper mix of stocks and bonds and that's as good as you'll ever do. Don't change investment strategy based on conditions and don't ever sell.
