Haha! Thanks for the recap!
I started reading this backwards from the newest posts and saw mention of real-estate. It caught my interest because after researching rental properties a few times over the years I've always dismissed the idea as not fitting my investment style. Investing in a management company hadn't occurred to me before, so it's something new to consider.
After that, I went to the beginning of the thread and now I realize the predominant wisdom is more of a buy and hold stocks strategy. Interestingly, that fits pretty well with my investing philosophy. In the last 10 years or so I've probably sold about that many stocks, maybe double that (not counting rebalancing and the like). I still have positions in most of the stocks I've bought over the years. There are a few I should probably ditch, though.
That said, I like to hear what ideas other people have. There are without doubt diversification avenues I haven't considered.
