Subject: Re: Analyzing S&P500 as a single company
Name something that will confidently beat the S&P 500 in the next 7 years.


If the only option is to buy now and hold for exactly 7 years, the SPY is probably the best option. But there are other options that I think will be more profitable.

1. Hold CASH until the market becomes more attractive
2. Buy SPY at that point

You could probably even swap [2] with a wide range of opportunities. To add more clarity; I think there will be entry points more attractive than current levels that will present themselves in the future. (Reminder: Holding CASH will generate 4% returns)

For posterity: SPY : $597
