After rushing headlong into cryptocurrencies<\/a>, droves of people have now taken up prediction markets. Cryptocurrencies have no intrinsic value and are worth only what their owners are willing to pay. And prediction markets, by definition, have binary outcomes based on time-limited events. That predicting the outcome of a sports event (effectively gambling) can now take place at the same broker a person uses to buy stock in a company should be pretty shocking. And yet it is the norm today for many discount brokers.<\/p>\n However, even if you are as worried as Buffett, that doesn’t mean you should dump your long-term investment approach<\/a>. As the chart above highlights, the market has recovered after every bear market in history. In fact, the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) has gone on to achieve new highs after every single downturn in history so far. It is highly likely that this trend will continue, even if investment risk is high today.<\/p>\n Find something that works for you and stick with it<\/p>\n What’s interesting is that if you had simply bought the S&P 500 index and kept buying it, ignoring Wall Street and famous investors (including Warren Buffett), you would have done fairly well as an investor. The real story here, however, is picking an investment approach that you can stick to and, well, stick to it through the inevitable good and bad times you’ll face as an investor. History suggests Buffett is probably correct about elevated risk, and that, despite his concerns, you probably shouldn’t change your long-term investment approach.<\/p>\n Should you buy stock in Berkshire Hathaway right now?<\/p>\n Before you buy stock in\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway, consider this:<\/p>\n The Motley Fool\u00a0Stock Advisor\u00a0analyst team just identified what they believe are the\u00a010 best stocks<\/a>\u00a0for investors to buy now\u2026 and\u00a0Berkshire Hathaway\u00a0wasn’t one of them.\u00a0The 10 stocks that made the cut are built for long-term growth and could produce monster returns in the coming years.<\/p>\n Consider when\u00a0Netflix\u00a0made this list on December 17, 2004… if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you’d have $421,997!*\u00a0Or\u00a0when\u00a0Nvidia\u00a0made this list on April 15, 2005… if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation,\u00a0you’d have $1,413,876!*<\/p>\n That performance is why people listen.
