The same holds true for your investment portfo- lio. It should contain a diversified mix of stocks, bonds and cash. Consult your advisor about asset allocation, that is, the right balance of diversified investments to achieve your financial goals.

She also had $100,000, but divided it amongst five dif- ferent types of invest- ments. After 20 years (and five different rates of return), her investment grew to $534,947. The result?
