I'm a Long-Term Investor, but Not When It Comes to Crypto. Here's Why.

When it comes to investing my money, I tend to follow one simple rule: Load up on quality stocks and hold them for many years so they're able to appreciate in value.

More recently, I've taken to expanding my portfolio into REITs, or real estate investment trusts. I like REITs because they tend to pay higher-than-average dividends, and because they fit nicely into my buy-and-hold strategy.

Meanwhile, I've started to get on board with the idea of buying cryptocurrency. I'll admit that the idea makes me nervous, but I also think that if I keep a small percentage of my assets in crypto, it won't cause me to lose sleep.
