People are frightened to invest as they don't know what is safe.
Commercial RE sounds good but in a downturn your rent may drop to zero for years
Residential RE has increased an enormous amount in the last 30 years and cannot keep going up so in a downturn you will still get a reduced rent regardless but your CG will most likely go negative as much as 50% (it's happened before)
Gold and silver ** who knows, the Government may seize it all to pay their debts ( it's happened before}
Shares *** you have to get the ones that will survive a depression.
Banks? apart from the value of the dollar dropping the banks can acquire it to pay their debts (it's happened before
So although the idea is good everything is so uncertain it is not simple

I just feel having $1million as an income earning investment sitting in bricks and mortar, makes more secure sense than anything else at the moment.
Should bank interest rates go higher than rent returns, then look at selling and moving back to term deposit.
Either way ---- you can't lose.
