    I second that.

    Or if you cant handle the volatility buy Gold. You wont get the same return but it is less volatile.

    Or buy the S&P 500. Gold offer no dividend and is highly volatile with no risk premium. Compare Gold with the S&P500 and you will see that it is a pretty horrific long term investment

    The S&P is close to all time highs. Gold is way down from its $19xx all time high. Over the next 5 years I would favor Gold over S&P, each to his own obv...

    Do you know what it was at an all time high? There was restrictions on its sale.

    Gold offers zero dividends. Even if the S&P has a correction. I imagine you will be significantly better off than buying gold when you take into account annual dividends. Gold has flat lined over time, while the S&P 500 has constantly gone up

    Gold went up every year for 10 years from 2001 to 2011 including 2008 and 2009. It has been consolidating for the past 3 years.
    The SNP reached 1500 in 2000 and collapsed, 2008 and collapsed and 2013.
    So it completely depends on when you enter a position.
    we are now very close to the SNP all time high after an 8 year Rally. I would be cautious about buying the SNP here.
    Jyst my opinion obviously.

    Buy Bitcoin/Etherium. You just need to wait until the current price correction finishes so you can buy it at the new floor value though ;)
