<prompt> Human: I think the stock market is going to crash 2008-style within 5-10 years. I also fear that the US dollar could inflate massively in the next 5-10 years.If I knew anything about fixing a toilet or installing a carpet or how to evaluate if a particular house is a good investment, Id buy real estate. But I dont know how to do those things.What should I do with my money?  <response>: Within 5-10 years? Sorry but to live life in fear of what could be is sad. Also, Yes, of course it will have a downturn in the next 5-10 years. Probably sooner. Look at history, normally it is every 7-8 years but also looking at history it is a minor blip overall. Even the Great Depression before WWII. Which is why if you plan to invest in the market go for the long haul.Search the sub for safer investing tips, all kinds of posts about bonds, CDs, etc.
