I have a small portfolio of space company stocks and keep them as a reminder to avoid active investing.

My boring old Total Market (essentially S&P500) index funds have done much better in the same time as my space stocks.

Wait till gold drops by into it.

Every time the market spikes for gold (as it is now), I run the projects to see if I would have been better off in gold than buying equities instead. Gold has never once shown to be the better investment as vehicle for appreciation.
