At the end of the day invest in what makes you feel the most comfortable be it shares , property, collectibles……

Cheers.

With share etc you buy and hope. Its out of your control and there is nothing you can do to influence the returns…

You can get an 18m fixed rate of 7.35% last i checked.

I think comfortable band looks like .80-.90 range.Outside of that the downside looks a bit scary.
