Which alternative would you choose $$

I was asked to post this as a thread … from the stock market thread.

Which would you choose ?—$500,000

$500,000 cash
4310 shares of Nvidia stock
188 ounces of gold
7.8 Bitcoin
100 acres of land, 50/50 farm half crop and half timber with good hunting and income. (Assuming $5000/acre)
 
Honestly if I didn’t own any land, I’d buy the land so fast your head would spin. Income producing would be nice but I wouldn’t need that for a justification. Nvidia may be played out, the other two are speculative and truthfully none of them move my meter like land. Even if the return at the end of the day doesn’t pencil out, my enjoyment on the land is immeasurable.

Times two
 
If I like the land, I'd take the land. Else I'd take the cash and go look for land I like. I don't do stocks, bitcoin, or gold. They may be the cats meow but I stick to what I know.
 
Land!
 
I’d want the cash, because I ultimately want the land, but you didn’t describe exactly what I want. That’s a bit picky I know.

Feel free to throw in your own option !
 
Land first. Cash and gold Id look at converting to something else right away. Might sell some gold for platinum.

I would take the land, Gold might be my second choice. Distant second .

If I can choose the location of the land, there's not even a decision. Land all day long.
Ps, I know a neighbor that's going to lose 100 acres😬
 
For me the question can't be answered honestly without knowing a variety of other factors that would influence the decision. Is this my retirement? Is my family taken care of? Will I need future income distributions from the investment?

Without being able to answer any of that, like I said in the other thread, I'd invest half-ish into land and invest the rest into S&P 500 index.

If there were no strings attached, without a doubt I'd buy all land.
 
I am assuming this is a prize that I have the above options. I think I would roll with Nvidia, I would put in a sell option that if it dropped to 400,000 I would sell and cash out, so still win 400,000 but I could potentially make it millions. What the heck since it is house money
 
A new UTV?

I would take the land. By the time you got done signing papers it would be worth more.

A chunk of ground a few miles away just went for $10k an acre, I believe as recreational property, no water......pure insanity. Is this what devaluation of the dollar looks like?

I’m a little surprised at your answer given the ‘opportunity cost’ comments I’ve seen you make about land at the high $/ac it’s bringing nowadays. By the way, I don’t mean that in a bad way. I quite liked the opinion.

For me, probably the cash. Close second is the land.
 
I would take the cash unless it was land that attached to my current farm.Main reason is I can buy hunting land for 3K an acre or less so I would end up with more than 100 acres
