well for one, i question anyone who thinks they can even tell me the answer to the simple question of "will the US markets be around in another 30+ years?"
sure, in all historical points, yes, and this is a retarded question. however, no one KNOWS anything for sure

imo the way to do it would be to buy an index/blend of indexes and some bonds to hedge, then leave around a small amount for a longterm speculative play. and do your fucking homework on it. set stops and if it fails those, but the fucking index and hang up your hat. but ill always argue that its worth the risk.

why else are we here?

pretty much this
no one knows what happens next
when i cant tell whats about to happen, i sit cash
i have no confidence in anythings ability to exist for 30+yrs, nor my ability to see where it will be at in 30+yrs

it doesnt have to collapse to leave us sideways from here 30yrs from now
look at chart
you buy in 1946, sell in 1976, youre up on paper but WAY down to inflation
