Uh huh, if that is your thread, you are the AU dude?
Some sound advice .

dumP it all on a silver play now that profit taking is going on

1. All good things must come to an end.
2. If it is too good to be true, RUN! (Crypto nonsense. Try cashing out)

Best advice I can give for this stuff.

If I told you "I hear things that are not there", you would think I was crazy.

But what I mean is, I am listening to what is NOT being said almost all of the time.

When I posted that "good time" thread, there were no "we buy gold" ads on the radio.
Nobody was talking about dropping money when it was "low".
They all fixated on the market.

Go the opposite way.

@ current spot, for his $100k, that is:

245lbs of silver.

vs

8.666lbs of gold.

Well OP, I am checking out of this thread.

Hopefully you remember this thread, and check back a few times in the next 5.5-6 years.

My best returns ever were with Chipotle.

Are you looking for gains or just hold onto the purchasing power of your 100 grand?

And when will you need to cash it out (time frame of investment)?

Buy a couple of studio apartments and rent them out.

Normally a good idea...but right now with no chance of evicting anybody...I wouldn't!

Silver.

Fuck the nay-sayers.

There are many ways to invest such an amount of money. Have you thought of the possibility to talk first with an advisor about it? If I had that amount of money I would definitely consult with people that know exactly what to do with it. I know that most people think that they are entrepreneurs or businessman in the making, but it's easy to mess up if you don't have the required knowledge. I read more about the subject on [link to www.juststartinvesting.com (secure)] and I'm not going to start anything that I would regret.

Here is mine and believe me, it not my choice, I don't have 100,000 dollars to invest. You have to decide, what do you want from your investment, is it gratification of something you personally care to help change as in somehow making a better future for people, or money return, so go with which ever you need personally. With investing to get a return, many times it "easy come, easy go" you don't get much of a return, if you want this be willing to lose it without sadness. Now the other is satisfaction of seeing something happening and being part of it. It is all up to you.

The 'best' way to invest depends entirely on your goals.

There is no long run period of time in the history of the stock market where the S&P 500 didn't return over 8% on an investment.

so..if you are going to leave that money for 30 years in an S&P 500 ETF or Fund, there is little doubt you will do well.

I know there are a bunch of unsophisticated people posting here about crypto and how the world is going to fall apart. I've been reading that silly crap for 40 years now. So watever people respond to this with that know-nothing sky-is-falling crap...I'm not interested.

Here is the rule of investing:

A safe investment of 100K should return you 4%. You would get this by a mix of Funds. Maybe 25% large cap. 25% emerging markets. 25% S&P 500 25% Fortune 500 companies of some kind.

Again...this depends on your time horizon. There could be flucations or market drops...but over 5 years or so...little risk.

If you invest in real estate...nothing wrong with that, but say goodbye to your liquidity.

I always play against the market. (buy low sell high).
So what does that mean... look for a beat down sector. (right now I am looking at REITS...they tanked due to Covid last march, and are starting to come back)

But..fundamentally I never want to buy a stock with a high Price/Earnings ratio. That is the single most basic fundamental (it tells you how much each share earns).

I believe most investors you read on line are behind the trend. For example, commodities started rebounding a year ago (after being low for 3 years), and there are people touting them, even though most of the gain already happened.

Consider you timeline, your liquidity needs and your goals.

100k...
1. if you have any high interest debt, get rid of it.
2. Set aside enough to have your mortgage paid for 4mo.
3a. Start a side hustle or 2. I fired up an FFL.
3b. OR find a good investment broker. You could trade on your own, but unless you have time for the research, a broker may be the better route. I could give you the contact info for my Janney rep
4. Set aside a small amount to have some fun with

If you have to ask that question on GLP you would he better off keeping it under the bed.

I would buy some crappy land in Colorado. You could get about 72 acres in El Paso, Elbert and Lincoln counties for about 100K. The land is shitty, but it not badly priced.
