    I feel like I’m way ahead of the market.

    (If only I knew how to turn that wisdom into money)

      I’m convinced that to win in today’s market, you really can’t think deeply about anything.

      Put options are a thing.

      But best to stay out of stocks gambling unless you have money to lose.

      The one you hear a lot is buying physical precious metals. But keeping that stuff at home is kinda risky and renting a vault isn’t free either.

        There are certificates that are fully backed by physical metals, so it is easy to trade them. I even have some (but going to sell soon).

          You want it at home. The real value in your of gold is when society collapses it still is a nice metal and so has value. Iron would work to but your house isn’t big enough for your life savings in iron.

          I don’t think society will collapse and lacking that scenario gold isn’t a better investment.

            Well, I don’t.

            I don’t think society will collapse and lacking that scenario gold isn’t a better investment.

            I don’t think that either. I buy it when I think it’s value will rise.

            Gold is money. Central banks are the biggest buyers, and that’s not as a hedge if society collapses. It’s an escape hedge from money printing and an universal medium of exchange
