35 - and my husband calls me basically a conservative investor.  I think the questions about if you were given or inherited what would you do actually hinge more on the amount of money you have - i.e.  I'm much more willing to gamble with 2k or 10k than someone how's hurting b/c of what CD's are paying now.

score 32,  and people say I have risky investment style,  wonder which is right.. 

70%+ intl , 85% mutual funds, past 3 yrs @ 30+% per yr..  I wonder how the people who score high invest?

I haven't yet, but as I age (I am now nearing 71), I find my risk tolerance still is quite high, but I'm tending to position my portfolio more for the time when I am "no longer present to manage it myself"... i,e., in the ground...

I'm still all equities, no index funds, and no bonds except for those in my balanced funds, but the balanced funds are now a bigger part of my portfolio (nearly all in IRAs.)

Time for supper, but I'll take the quiz later.

that you are a 35, but I am surprised that your husband considers you to be conservative. I read your posts, and I would put you into a somewhat lower classification than High RIsk TOlerance... actually more like my 31.

 But your beloved????/ now there is Mr. 22...... I mean there is risk aversion and there is RISK AVERSION.... and you know which one I think he falls into.... ;-)

Peace, Bob

Didn't like the questions. For instance, risk, to me is all about the unknowns. If I knew everything to know about a company, I no longer view it as a risk, except when to enter. However, it's impossible to know everything, so every investment involves risk. Risk, imo, is not an opportunity, merely a lack of knowledge.

And if I owned all government bonds and a bunch of "experts" are telling me gold or real estate or whatever is going up, so what? I've never listened to the great seers with their crystal balls, nor have I ever owned all bonds, and never intend to. 

So, I scored 27, average. Yet, I've probably got what most of you would say is the riskiest portfolio on this board, all stock and concentrated in only 10 stocks. Nor do I intend to change my investment style.

The test didn't help me in any way.

Sorry to be such a spoiled sport.
