Is it a good time to invest in US stocks? The prices are quite high now. And is it good to start putting money in roboadvisor now — the US stocks and gold are at peak :/ ?

Why Are you asking this question?

Look, understand that you're looking for a straight forward answer.

"Yes" or "no" kind.

I wish I could but then I'd be doing you a disservice.

My answer:

Read, study and invest in yourself. To me the 6m-1 year self education on investing is the biggest return I've ever had.
