    Wondering what they, them, he would have for their top 10 list for what is considered alternative. The only semi-clear consideration is what the typical thoughts are/have been regarding "alternative" investments. Some sources still note anything other than stocks, bonds and cash. This is not the path of the video presentation.

    What's the list ??? Solar, agri, coffee, managed futures, long/short, short term HY bonds, Mongolia exchange.........

    I feel the folks related in the article/video prefer me to visit and chat; so that they may explain the benefits of "alternative" investments, whatever they may be.....

    They're talking non-correlated investing, eh? Or not?

    What is a mainstream fund/etf? FCNTX, PRHSX, LSBDX, VTI, SPY or ? Our house is probably mainstreaming with the likes of FRIFX or FAGIX or VSCPX.

    Our house's only alternative investments method at this time for captial preservation is to be invested in either equity or bonds (mix) of various flavors at the proper times and rotate as needed.... and, of course; buy low and sell high.....:):):)

    Anyone, build me a list; as I/we don't want to be out of the investment groove.

    EDIT note: probably not enough coffee yet today, for clear thinking here.

    Good fortune to all,
