    and the very low interest rates are intended to urge people to try to buy riskier stocks with a "better" headline return.
    In a major downturn, even infrastructure stocks will do poorly.
    The question is: "Where is a safe place to invest?". You can try gold bullion, gold mining companies, infrastructure stocks, basic food companies, defence companies. Not everyone can buy a farm and go back to subsistence living.
