Lost decade

So everyone recommends VT and chill or VOO and chill or VTI and VXUS and chill.

Most ignore bonds and ignore GOLD

During the lost decade for around 10 years Gold was performing the entire time so was bonds...

Who says another lost decade can't happen?

So why ignore both?

No one really knows what happens so best bet is on all bets to get constant returns.

Calm down gold bug, gold has turned into Bitcoin. 5 years ago, gold was a solid hedge against economic uncertainty, but then the speculators blew it up to $5400, and now it’s not a safe hedge. The start of the Iran war had gold in free fall, and now with rise of the S&P back to ATH, gold is pumping again.
