I have traditionally layered investments based on risk and possible return. Checking account. Low return, FDIC insured, low risk. Money Market account. Mid-low return, FDIC insured, low risk. Short term bond fund. Mid-low return. Medium risk. I-Bonds. Mid return, Medium risk. VTSAX stock fund. Mid to high mid return. High risk to capital. Individual stocks. Mid to high returns. Highest risk to capital. But are those risks true today given the budget deficits of the government supposedly backing some of the traditionally low risk ones?
