When it comes to diversification, I find myself agreeing with the late Charlie Munger. "The whole secret of investment is to find places where it is safe and wise not to diversify," Munger once said. For an investor focused on speculative growth stocks, diversification is the name of the game. When the risk associated with any individual stock in your portfolio is high, spreading out your investments is essential.

When compared to the annualized returns of housing, gold, oil, and even bonds, the stock market easily has these asset classes beat over long periods.

Word on the street is that the Federal Reserve could start cutting its federal fund rate next year, which would directly impact the APYs that banks offer on CDs and savings accounts. While many 12-month CD rates are still above 5%, there's no telling how long they'll stay that high.

The Federal Reserve began raising its benchmark interest rate in March 2022. Policymakers pushed that rate higher at its fastest pace since the early 1980s in an effort to bring inflation back to its 2% target. They have nearly hit that mark. The inflation reading was 3.1% in November 2023, a significant slowdown from 9.1% in June 2022. Given that progress, the Fed held rates steady at the last three meetings, and officials have signaled an end to the rate hike cycle this year.

Consumers might be used to this level of speed by now. But two-day shipping was a novelty when Amazon launched its Prime subscription service in 2005.
