#23: Not stocks, not bonds, what else? Part 1: Real Assets

Matt and Kevin crack open the 'other' category of investments, sometimes called 'alternative' investments. The broadest definition is any investment other than traditional stocks and bonds. With both stocks and bonds facing difficult economic conditions, many investors are asking the question 'what else is there?'.

• Infrastructure
• Commodities
• Currencies
