Short excerpt from a January 23, 2025 YouTube video by Chris Larsen in which the speaker explains a personal investment approach: prioritizing real estate but using stocks and bonds as a hedge to diversify risk (citing 2008 as an example). The speaker describes funneling active income into portfolios and moving funds across hierarchical "levels" once thresholds are met.
I don't want to go into, into the stock market. I only want to do real estate. What kind of thing said, I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket because if all that real estate somehow, you know, flips upside down, like in 2008, they were in an issue, right. If I have a hedge, right. With some stocks, some bonds market accounts, I can kind of diversify inside of that portfolio. Right. So that's like my, my second level is taking my active income, putting it into another portfolio, a threshold. And once I meet that threshold, then I keep filtering it down to level two or level three, Right.
