> First I got burned in stocks, then in real estate, and now cash?

My advice to you is 1) Diversify 2) Stop trying to outsmart the market.

These things are cyclical in nature and it can be difficult for individual players to 1) buy on the low end of the cycle and 2) sell on the high end.



That is what I thought I was doing. I bought a house in 2010 and sold at the then peak in 2013 :-(.


So exactly how did you get "burned" in real estate? Sounds like you made profit.


I got burned with my 1st house- buying in 06, and did just OK with buying again in 10 and selling in 13, but 'lost' (did not make another) 50% by not holding it long enough.
