Tony Robbins says NO to Real Estate....
On his current cross country tour, "The Burning Down The House Tour", no that's not the right name, that's somebody else's tour; its the "All Weather Tour"; says that real estate should NOT be part of your investment portfolio.
He says that your portfolio should look like this:
Stocks 30%
Medium Term Treasuries 15%
Long Term Treasuries 40%
Gold 7.5%
Commodities 7.5%
You'll notice NO real estate.
I was reading elsewhere that money market funds, bank CDs, and 30 day T-Bills have all failed to keep pace with inflation over the last 25 years.
And over the last 25 years inflation has averaged 2.2%, gold has averaged 5%, oil has averaged 6.5%, Bonds have averaged 7%, Stocks have averaged 9.6% and real estate has averaged 9.8%.
How many Bigger Pocket member's portfolio looks exactly like Tony Robbins?
