Other people think about selling when there's a change in management or when a company cuts a dividend. You can't ignore signals like that, because they mean that a company that you purchased is undergoing some sort of fundamental shift. And I think that's what happens to a lot of people with technology, they just close their eyes and refuse to look when there was a lot of negative information out there. Above that, you're not insured. So if you're worried and you have more money than those limits, you may want to move the money to accounts at different banks.

I'm not saying to go out and buy property, but diversifying in real estate can be another way to minimize the risk in your portfolio, just as one should have stocks, bonds and cash across a variety of sectors. I mean the economy isn't exactly in a freefall. I think we'll get 50 with some sort of language that gives the Federal Reserve the room to do more, if and when, they believe we need it. And by getting their hands on that cheaper money, companies find it easier to grow. That's a very simple explanation, but in essence, that's the way it works.
