China poses to American hegemony. It's an intriguing thesis, but in China's case it has a glaring flaw: The main challenge we will face from the People's Republic in the coming decade stems not from its rise but from its decline — something that has been obvious for years and has become undeniable in the past year with the country's real estate market crash.

Conservative investors could also use an aggressive hybrid fund that allocates 65-75% to equity and the rest to fixed income. They could consider staggering their investment by using a systematic investment plan (SIP) as a tool to invest, as this evens out volatility and sharp market movements.
