>probably to make it back within a few years
"probably"? Are you willing to be held criminally liable when the elderly take your advice and the S&P does not bend to your will for the next year or two due to say -- oh I don't know -- unforeseen world events?
edit: I was alluding to the possibility of c): not investing in the S&P or crypto for the duration and suffering inflation. which would have been better than a) and b) since inflation is added on top of both those losses.
- oh_my_goodness 4y agoI very genuinely don't understand what point you're making. Are you equating the risks of crypto and an S&P 500 index fund?
- sillyfleece 4y agoNot at all. The first post I replied to was saying index funds are safe for lay people to invest in. I'm saying index funds may not be safe for lay people to invest in in these extraordinary times. Crypto is way riskier than index funds, I agree.
