If You Could Only Invest in 1 Asset Right Now, What Would It Be?

A question to ask yourself during volatile markets

It’s no secret markets are extremely volatile right now. There are several factors contributing to these wild markets, but let’s not get into that right now.

Let’s get into this instead: Where are you putting your money during these volatile markets?

Are you:

  • Opting to have more liquid assets?
  • Looking to stuff your investment portfolio as many index funds and stocks are dipping?
  • Jumping into crypto while it plummets?

One question I’ve been asking myself recently is if I could only invest in a single investment vehicle right now, which would it be?

Here’s what I’d choose.

My long-term, slow-growth stock portfolio

Why?

The biggest transfer of wealth occurs during times like these. Yes, the price of living is high, but the opportunities to secure a better future are right in front of us. And I don’t want to risk it betting on something like Bitcoin.

It’s not that I don’t believe in Bitcoin. I’m just saying if I could only invest in one asset right now, it would be index funds in my stock portfolios.

It would not be:

  • Crypto
  • Real estate
  • Alternative investments (collectibles, luxury watches, etc.)
  • Bonds
  • Precious metals

Once again, I’m not saying these aren’t great investments right now, I’m just saying I can’t afford all of the risks. I’ve only got one chance of getting this right with the funds I have and I can’t risk it on crypto or gold.

If I had much more available income right now, you’d best believe I’d be buying the dip for EVERYTHING (except real estate because it’s still sky-high).

I’d be buying up luxury watches as that market continues to crash, I’d be securing bonds and I’d even be getting into crypto as it falls.

But since I only have a single option to choose from, I’m choosing index funds in my long-term stock portfolios.

Ask yourself and decide

Ask yourself the same question I did and think about it.

Are you looking to play it extremely careful? Maybe go for bonds right now instead of stock portfolios.

Looking to be more risky and aggressive? Bitcoin looks to be almost at its bottom and is the definition of risky.

Just make sure you have strong convictions when you choose to invest your money during these wild markets.
