Warren Buffett: for most people, the best thing is to do is owning the S&P 500 index fund.


"You can bet on America but you have to be careful about how you bet," he said. "Markets can do anything.

"In my view, for most people, the best thing is to do is owning the S&P 500 index fund. There are huge amounts of money people pay for advice they really don't need. If you bet on America and sustain that position for decades, you'd do far better than buying treasury securities."
