Hi everyone,
I’m planning to start investing more consistently and could use some perspective from people with more experience.
My plan is to invest around €500 every few months, with a long-term horizon (10+ years). I’m not looking for quick gains, mainly preservation of value with a reasonable long-term return.
I’ve been considering a few options:
Physical gold, but many people say it’s not the best idea right now since it’s at an all-time high.
An S&P 500 ETF, but I also keep seeing comments that the index is currently “too high” to enter.
Some Asian/emerging markets ETFs, but opinions on those are mixed as well.
So now I’m a bit stuck, it feels like everything is “not a good idea right now,” which doesn’t make sense if I want to invest regularly.
Given today’s market conditions, what would you consider a sensible long-term investment strategy for someone contributing periodically and not trying to time the market?
All advice and perspectives are welcome.
