Divesting from S&P500 (slrpnk.net)

Hello all,

From the beginning of my investment history about 3y ago I have heard that the S&P500 is one of the best ETFs that you can invest it.

In light of recent events I think this is becoming less and less the case. Do you think that is still the case? And if no what are you investing in?

The S&P500 is only 3% down from it's all-time high in February. If you have continued contributions since then (such as regular paycheck contributions into a 401k), then your balance should be at an all-time high. I've had my 401k set to 50% target date fund and 50% S&P500-equivalent for the last few years. I don't have any plans on changing this; however, if there is another large drop, I'll rebalance more into the S&P to "buy the dip".
