Buying house offers least amount of risk, though it is important to read the terms & condition carefully before buying.
Paradoxically, the LEAST risky investment you mentioned is Stocks....
Cars, house, ship, luxuries, : it can be use to rent.
Used goods: it can be use to sell.
Retail stores buy products from manufactures.
Manufacture buys tools to make things or repair things.
There are many invested things in almost any place, but what really is the best ?
Cars, house, used goods, retail stores,
These things cost a lot of money to invest. There are many problems or risks.
House: what if no ones rent it, while the house is abandoned, I would have to pay money for a property, tax.
Cars: it could break, I would need to pay money for insurance, if it breaks, I would need to pay for repairing.
Bonds, stocks it cost a lot of money to buy it and risk is huge.
