The market got killed this week. Diversification and long term are key points to take away. Personally, I just do what Buffet says (in the market) with quite a few less 0s at the end of my investments. We have Apple and Vanguard 500 Index, are long term and doing just fine. (knock on wood). And cards can absolutely be a part of anyone's investment and be ok. Cards are more fun than stocks that is for sure.

While I do believe diversification is key, baseball cards are by far my favorite “investment”.
