    Let's say, everyone of us gets an inheritance trust of $20,000 which you can only withdraw out...

    ...in Year 2030 if you're over 55 years old)
    ..Year 2035 (45-55 years old)
    ..Year 2045 (35-44 years old)
    ..Year 2045 (younger than 35 years old).

    The condition is that is you must put in an additional $5,000 within 2 months, which makes it a total of $25k. You cannot change your portfolio midway, so no trading. Only up to 5 choices allowed, assume even split of allocation. Principal cannot be touched but dividends or interest can be withdrawn for personal use.

    Where are you going to put that money today?

    Probs S&P if its that long of time,

    Maybe Metals.
    would not go any where near tech stocks or Bitcoin over that period of time, tech changes to much so God know where that will end up in 25 year, it could pay off big or go bust IMO, thats risky stuff.
    but its only $25k so its not very much to begin with, So its unlikely any of those options would be that life changing IMO. Unless you got extremely lucky and picked massive a winner.

    You could split between 2 or more assets. The $20k is just an example. It could be more for you. But definitely not so much that you could buy a property as most people will opt for a renter that you could collect rent.

    I’d go gold as it is an amount large enough to get you about 8oz without having to compromise.

    buy 5 stocks in China, such as Huewei
    growth is from there anyway
    but US pension funds have been barred from investing by Trump, just too bad

    If it's for such a long term and I can't trade, I'll split equally between gold, silver and platinum. Stocks are too dangerous for such a long period of time, companies can go bankrupt or taken over by the government.

    I was tempted to choose Bitcoin but it'd be a 15 year time horizon and I'd be concerned that BTC might be superseded by then.

    So, I choose Gold thanks :)

    I have worked hard just to have that spare 20k to splash on a boat party with all my mates. If it fell into my lap I might not know what to do with my life!

    Ok, Gold now leads with 16 votes, followed by S&P Index and Bitcoin that ties with 7 votes, then silver with 6 votes and then real estate ETF with 5 votes. Big tech ETF surprisingly has only 1 vote?? Platinum I'm not surprised. :D

    If you choose gold, you're not wrong. My aircon repair contractor told me he had to buy 1/2 kg of gold for his sister's wedding in India. Not a joke, it's real.

    Gold is for suckers

    Buy etf's i would go s&p 500 and asx 200 and a Japanese or maybe Chinese etf they are diverse and will be a far better investment over that time frame than gold

    Over that time frame, I would look at investing it into 1 or 2 Gold Royalty Funds.
    I like the idea of getting royalties from producers no matter how much the Gold price fluctuates over the length
    of the investment.

    Cheers Markco2

    I voted for metals but I'd keep a little in cryptos and a little in the markets I guess. Maybe a few grand total of it. That's probably all I'd be willing to gamble.

    Any stock that can appreciate much more than gold over the last 20 years is a gamble. Look how much BABA has fallen in just couple of days. The smurfs were buying big time right to the clamp down, which ironically was Election Day. Coincidence? Saw someone complaining on a forum he lost 6 figures. This is what happens if you only watch smurf media.

    20 years ago gold was like 250 usd.
    Has every stock gone up almost 10x with zero risk? Dont think so.
    Math skills are cool!

    Buy index based etf's and individual stocks are irrelevant

    I do the SP 500 etf sometimes. It's not volatile enough tho, just moves too slow.

    Depends when you bought and sold.
    If you bought in 1980 then gold stayed pretty flat for about 25 years
