$10,000 to invest when market sh!ts

I agree. Even if there is another crash/correction, we're already at a decent buy level. I started trading at the tail end of the last bull run. I'm down a good chunk, but time will fix that... or we'll all get blown off the planet with our nutty leaders. In which case, the market losses won't matter.

Just hoping me and my portfolio can make it intact to June 30, 2028. Retirement day!

This, once the kids leave the house crank that rascal up to 30%

The money I had left over every month after my three kids left the house was astounding. I made it clear I wasn't supporting them or paying for college. We're all still friends and they've launched into this world effectively. The best investment advice I can give parents is cut them loose at 18 and stop paying for them. Then take the savings and invest wisely for that last run until you're able to retire.

I invested all of his child support payments in to a college fund, which was smart, but I stuffed a lot of cash away.

A boring ass S&P 500 index fund is tough to go wrong with. Buy the fund, and forget you own it for about 10 years.

This is basically my strategy. It is hard to beat the historical gains of the S&P, even if you have a really good advisor.

Buy US oil futures.

Oil is at $113 per barrel as of this post. I sure hope for our sake you're wildly wrong on that advice!!

Gold, silver coins or precious metal etfs should be somewhere in your portfolio.

Here's the thing, the price of oil doesn't effect the price of some oil stocks directly.
They may have money coming in, but oil exploration will need to continue and right now the money for that is nonexistent. Right now the Administration has put major blocks on Oil Companies borrowing money, so they can't go to the bank.
