I presume this is a joke, but, if not, good luck. If you can pick the next Google reliably, you're presumably already worth tens of millions.

    You need a mixture of assets. If you don't need your investments to live on (cause you've got a job and an affordable place to live), then follow the standard policy of different categories of stocks, plus other areas. In 2007-2009 I noticed that I lost as much in my retirement accounts as I put into them in those years, Ie the value at the end of the year after putting 20k was about the same as at the start. That was something that really reminded me that it was great and lucky to have a good job as a software engineer.

      The trick is to maintain your job during the recessions and keep investing. Easier said than done, but if you do succeed, you'll be in very good shape when the market bounces back during the next cycle.
