I'd say he was in the moderate/low risk range.
This is a great strategy for a lot of people because you prioritize the preservation of capital over market returns. You may not get rich, but you rarely lose more than you make and you can sleep well knowing your investments are safe ones. I think this is a good fit for Clemson.

I would reverse that, and say that, over all the years, very little growth. So, if you ain't making money, you are losing money.

Safe, as in mostly keeping that nasty NCAA Tournament away from us?

Safe, but returns are modest.

So you're saying CBB is a CD. So when's his maturity date?

CD, Bond, something along those lines. A step up from a savings account.

You are going to lose bills, but you aren't keeping up with inflation.

I follow metal detecting videos on YouTube a lot, and I don't think I have ever seen a mayo jar dug up where the contents were pristine. The jar always leaked and messed up the stuff inside, seems like. So, maybe a good comparison to Brown-L, after all.

Aren’t interest rates in the tank? You guys remember when Jimmy Carter had mortgage rates close to the %20’s?

You definitely don’t enjoy the same potential for returns with a conservative approach.

butterfat?
Or because he remains a firm solid when refrigerated, but softens to a spreadable consistency at room temperature?
