Some Nubblites have started to have some investments. Until this year I had virtually none. What sort of stuff are you guys putting extra money into?
Here's how mine look, I believe it's probably too conservative:
A good chunk of my investments are in ETFs which allow you instant diversification via a a single exchange-traded security. For everything that is exchange-traded I have included the ticker symbol. I have investments in GBP, EUR, and USD. I also own a Chinese ETF and Gazprom ADRs (an ADR is practically the same as the stock itself) which get me Yuan and Ruble exposure as well.
