Warren Buffett Has Recommended 1 Investment for Decades -- but There's a Hidden Risk Many Investors Are Overlooking
This key factor didn't exist when Buffett first gave the advice, but does that change its appeal?
Overview
Warren Buffett has rightfully earned his place as someone whose advice investors listen to and often apply. And through the years, his advice has remained consistent and effective. A common theme in his advice is that the best route for building wealth for the average investor is to consistently invest in an S&P 500 ETF.
The S&P 500 tracks around 500 of the largest publicly traded American companies, so Buffett equates investing in an S&P 500 ETF to investing in the broader U.S. economy. They may not be directly tied, but they tend to move in the same direction over time: up. Despite its impressive historical performance, there is an elephant in the room worth pointing out.
