[quote=Anonymous]I am honestly not sure if greedier is the right word. The goal of saving and investing is growth of capital. More people now believe vs past that stocks are a better investment for their retirement, inheritance goals. Less people believe in bonds, or other alternative investments. It's simple demand and supply. Plus the ease of trading, knowledge of stocks has gone way up. People now understand the equity asset class better. In previous generations it was real estate, gold and cash. Honestly, I treat S&P diversified funds, VTSAX etc.. over a 10 year period of time as literally a risk free asset. Closer to retirement, would like to keep 2-3 years of basic expenses in cash. Oh, and I don't trade, just buy and hold index funds.[/quote]
