There are other investment opportunities that carry less/zero risk such as government bonds. Real Estate can produce extraordinary gains and if you do your homework, can be relatively low risk when compared to stocks.

Then there's certificates of deposit, savings accounts (some banks are apparently advertising 2%+ interest rates).

The list goes on and on. If WF doesn't believe in investing in stocks, I'm sure she has chosen other things to invest/save her money.


I agree that there are plenty of options for investing but I would argue that stocks, over the long tearm, are at the top of the list performance wise. (assuming a balanced portfolio etc...)
