In hindsight where would you have put your money?

Lottery tickets, until I got burnt at the stake for winning the jackpot 17 times in a row....

That would probably only happen if you're a woman

Amazing how many people still pick the loser even with the benefit of hindsight.

Even more amazing that the O/P isn't given a straight answer to a simple question that he has every right to ask. My simple answer= shares.

Just over two years ago I set up my portfolio to guard against sequence of returns risk as I was just about to retire. It's done that, so I would do exactly what I did back then all over again. And I will be following the same strategy for around 10 years until I reach the next phase of retirement.

Exactly where it was then and exactly where it ii’s now. 3 to 5 yrs is nothing in long term investing.

Edit. Fundsmith……. You know it makes sense.

I reckon if this question had been asked three years ago there would have been a mention of Woodford's fund.

Hindsight’s always bothered me because rational action doesnt necesarilly lead to the optimal outcome.  The idea that now I know the outcome or some extra piece of information means my previous  actions were wrong and I should of made some other choice doesn’t sit well with me.

In hindsight I should not of invested and instead bought a lotto ticket with the winning numbers.

Nope and thankfully a public track record to prove it
