Bullion coins in relative ROI.

Real estate in absolute ROI.



If you're going to list whole life insurance, you may want to add annuities even though both are horrible "investment vehicles". Neither are intended as investments per se.

I'd also add employer 401K plan or other tax deferred worker's pension plan.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA or non-US equivalent) are also not listed.


You seem to have a reasonably comprehensive list started here.
