The idea remains the same: what would we have today if, starting on September 1, 2024, we had chosen one specific investment path and stuck with it consistently? As always, I’m comparing five approaches: gold, the S&P 500, Bitcoin, copying my strategy, and a scenario where the money isn’t invested at all. Two models are used: β€’ a one-time $10,000 investment β€’ a $10,000 initial investment with an additional $300 contributed monthly After last month’s corrections, this period shows a fairly strong rebound across riskier asset classes. Every investment option (except holding cash) delivered positive monthly performance, with the strongest results coming from copying my strategy and Bitcoin. πŸ”Ή Not investing – If the $10,000 had simply been held in cash since 2024 September 1st, it would still be $10,000 today. No monthly change, no growth over the entire period. With an added $300 each month, the total would now be $16,000 β€” purely saved capital with zero return. πŸ”Ή Copying my strategy – A one-time $10,000 investment would now be worth $17,336, with a strong $1,443 gain over the past month β€” one of the best months in the entire period. With an additional $300 invested monthly, the portfolio would have grown to $25,254, gaining $2,102 this month alone. This strong performance has nearly closed the gap with gold. πŸ”Ή Gold – Still the most stable performer and continues to lead in long-term results. A $10,000 investment would now be worth $18,808, growing by $608 over the past month. While not the biggest monthly jump, it remains consistently upward. With $300 added monthly, the portfolio would stand at $27,309, with a monthly increase of $876. Gold still holds the top position overall, though the gap is narrowing. πŸ”Ή S&P 500 – After recent volatility, the index has returned to growth this month. A $10,000 investment would now be worth $12,639, with a $1,030 monthly gain. With additional contributions, the portfolio would reach $19,548, growing by $1,594 this month. It remains one of the safer choices, though its returns lag behind other assets. πŸ”Ή Bitcoin – Following its earlier rebound, Bitcoin continues its strong upward momentum. A $10,000 investment would now be worth $13,278, with a monthly increase of $1,166. With $300 added monthly, the portfolio would reach $18,743, gaining $1,659 this month. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $GOLD $BTC
