You have a chance of lowering your risk by not putting all of your eggs in one basket so to speak.\n\nIf you know what you're doing and you diversify anyway, you may water down your returns.  Warren Buffett is one of the more famous investors who doesn't believe in diversification because he thinks he knows what he's doing, and so far it's worked out for him.

Diversified stocks is the fastest, but the most risky.  Most people try a mix of stocks and bonds.  The more risk you are willing to take the more stocks.  Buying mutual funds is usually best.  I like vanguard.com and fool.com for advice.  Fool.com is somewhat tongue-in-cheek

The disadvantages of leaving early would be not finishing your degree. There is always the possibility of a major injury that would finish your career, if you don't already have enough money secured to fall back on, you'll need to go to work. Without a degree that could be very tough. There is also the theory that college is the best time of your life, and you would be missing out on part of that. You could back when you were older, but its not the same. \n\nThe main advantage is obviously, the money. You have the potential to make a ridiculous amount of money that would most likely never be able to make with just the degree you were working on. Also, if you leave early, you don't have to worry about getting hurt while you are still in school and ruining your chance at the pros. However, you could take out an insurance policy on yourself to help manage that risk.\n\nThese are the basics.

Basically, traditional investment advice ignores the impact of equity diversification on the reduction of risk. Correlation and volatility are persistent qualities of most well-managed mutual funds. Thus, the right mix of equity funds could be less volatile, and have more return, than a mix of bond and equity funds.\n\nThe tools to research this concept can be found in the free FastTrack trial at http://www.fasttrack.net

Buy stocks when the economy is in a recession and has already bottomed out. Advantage: you  will be buying at the low end of a market cycle. Buy low, sell high.  Disadvantage: risk = uncertain about forecast of economic behavior.\nBuy Bonds when interest rates are topping.  Bond prices are at their lows.  ADV: rates drop and you bonds go up in value.\nLeases depend upon each individual property occupancy percentage and the length of the existing lease,  Safest to buy as economy is in an uptrend.  Adv: good cash flow, Disadv: occupancy rate drops and cash flow can turn negative.

The advantage of taking out a loan is that you keep whatever savings or capital that you may have intact, for other investment purposes. This is particularly good, at a time when interest rates are low, so you pay very little for what you borrow and stand to make more by investing your savings in stocks, bonds, commodities etc.\n\nThis is however not a good strategy when interest rates go up, or, if you are taking finance at a high interest rate or over a very long term, because it is unlikely that investments would ever make up for the amount that you are paying in interest or fees.\n\nFor example, remortgaging a house to release equity which is then used to purchase say a car. A £20,000 car paid for in this way, using say a 25 year re-mortgage, could cost £50,000 in the end AND, assuming that a car only last for 10 years, you would have to continue paying for the car 15 years after it has gone to the knacker's yard. This is a very expensive use of money indeed!\n\nIn the UK, currently, a significant amount of personal debt is financed at high-ish interest rates. This makes the finance companies a lot of money but causes significant losses to the individual borrowing the money.
