 dtatu has it right about uncorrelated assets.  To build upon the strategy mentioned by dtatu, stick to ETFs for less exposure to single detrimental swings.  Here is my preferred list of uncorrelated ETFs.
 
 
 
Ticker Sector
 TLT	-	20+ Year Treasury Bond
 XBI	-	Biotech
 FXI	-	China
 XLP	-	Consumer Staples
 EEM	-	Emerging Markets
 XLE	-	Energy
 XLF	-	Financials
 GLD	-	Gold
 XLV	-	Healthcare
 HYG	-	High Yield Corporate Bonds
 XLB	-	Materials
 EWW	-	Mexico
 XOP	-	Oil and Gas
 IYR	-	Real Estate
 XRT	-	Retail
 SPY	-	S&P 500
 SMH	-	Semiconductors
 SLV	-	Silver
 QQQ	-	Technology
 XLU	-	Utilities
 XLY	-	Consumer Discretionary

 I also prefer ETFs, because of a higher trending likelihood, but I eliminate those who are too zigzag-ish: on your list: SLV,FXI. Choose very liquid, very trending symbols, on weekly, monthly charts.
 You do not need stocks with 25% drops on earnings. Go with sectors, countries.
