No investment is safe. Sitting on cash is a guaranteed loss since inflation eats away the value of that cash. Long term investment in a stock index fund is the best choice for someone with decades remaining. Trying to base buying/selling decisions on rational thought doesn’t work reliably because as smart as you might be about “value”, what matters is what other people think the value is (or if they are gambling”.

For example, what to do about GME. It is clear that it will go up until I decide to buy, and that is when it will go down!

That’s my thought. I would’ve loved to have gotten in on the ground floor of this whole kerfuffle, but now that the price is artificially inflated, the second I try to trade on it, it’ll crash and I’ll lose whatever I put into it.
