Where to Invest $100,000 Right Now, According to Experts

Investors face a dilemma. When the S&P 500 finished its worst quarter since 2022 last month, diversifiers like bonds and bitcoin fell too.

Even with the turnaround in mid-April, analysts at Goldman Sachs and Vanguard have projected low-single-digit annualized returns from 2024-2034.

Bloomberg asked where experts would personally invest $100,000 for their March monthly edition.

One answer that surfaced for a second time? Art.

It's what billionaires like Bezos and the Rockefellers have privately used to diversify for decades.

Why?

1. Appreciation. The ArtPrice100 Index outpaced the S&P 500 overall from 2000 to 2025

2. Low-correlation. The postwar contemporary segment has moved independently of traditional investments like stocks since ‘95.*

3. Resilience. A scarce, physical, and global asset class with decades of demonstrated demand.

LeBron James’ Vindication and Playoff Thrillers

After LeBron James helped the Lakers post a 3-0 record against the Rockets, they lost their next two games. Naturally, questions about his legacy came up. But thankfully, the King closed Game 6 in style, ending any debate.

James told ESPN that he and Michael Jordan are two different players. On the other hand, Michael Wilbon revealed that His Airness once asked the media to ease off on criticism towards the now-Lakers superstar.

Everyone was calling for Nikola Jokic to be criticized in the same manner as James after he could not help his Nuggets defeat a Wolves team missing three impactful players. He claimed that if this had been in Serbia, the entire team would have been fired.

Toronto was fired up when RJ Barrett drained a Kawhi Leonard-esque game-winning three-pointer. But it was not enough in Game 7 when the much-criticized Cavaliers dominated to ensure they are going to the second round.

The Pistons did the same to the Orlando Magic, becoming the second team in this postseason to come back from a 3-1 deficit. The first was the Joel Embiid-led 76ers, after which Shaquille O’Neal praised the center for being dominant.

Jayson Tatum suffered an injury on his other leg in Game 6 and was advised to skip Game 7. After the Celtics were dumped in 7 games, Jaylen Brown accused officials of having an agenda against him.

Megan Thee Stallion accused Klay Thompson of cheating on her and ended their relationship. Fans felt it was WNBA star Lexie Brown. That led her to get death threats, and she pleaded with them to clear her name.

The NBA playoffs so far have not disappointed. Return next week to stay updated.

Caitlin Clark Helps WNBA Grow and Angel Reese’s Return to Chicago

Paige Bueckers started the week with a statement that her relationship with Azzi Fudd is beyond limits for the media. If they choose to reveal anything, it would be their decision, and ‘nobody else’s business.’

Angel Reese trolled her alleged ex, Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, after an Orlando Magic player dunked on him in their Game 4 loss. Her current boyfriend, Wendell Carter Jr., faced the repercussions when Pistons fans trolled him in Game 7 by chanting her name.

When Reese returned to Chicago for the first time since her trade, reporters tried to eke out details about her tumultuous time with the Sky. But she kept talking about being grateful. During the game, she ignored the Sky’s tribute video, and when the fans gave her a standing ovation.

Caitlin Clark was named 10^th on ESPN’s list of top 10 players in the WNBA. Even though that drew some backlash, fans were pleased when Lexie Brown credited the Fever superstar for transforming the league.

Clark’s first preseason game drew 76% more viewers than A’ja Wilson and Bueckers did last season on the same network. On top of that, her popularity has helped the 13 teams from last season to be now worth $5.5 Billion combined. Clark’s Fever is worth $560 million.

The Golden State Valkyries top the charts at a $850 million valuation. They also topped the revenue charts. The league as a whole is generating the most revenue in its history and has now surpassed every other major league in the world in terms of revenue-to-value.

The 2026 WNBA season is about to tip off. Make sure to come back to recap all the excitement.

Patriots Fear Mike Vrabel Will Quit, and Shedeur Sanders’ Latest Controversy

After Mike Vrabel owned up to the cheating scandal with Dianna Russini, he and his wife have been hounded by reporters. This has left the Patriots to conjure up a backup plan involving Mike Tomlin or Josh McDaniels in case he quits.

Their season ticket holders gave him a standing ovation, and his players have been mostly supportive. With Vrabel in the spotlight, things can take a turn for the worse. Even Inside the NBA could not help but troll the coach and his now former mistress on national television.

Mary Kay Cabot started a controversy by claiming that Deshaun Watson has clearly won the QB1 race. In response, Shilo Sanders first asked her to make a sandwich and then called her out for making claims without facts.

Todd Monken and GM Andrew Berry clarified that no one QB has a clear advantage yet, which means Shedeur Sanders is still in the fight. He took time off to attend his graduation and was swarmed by fellow Colorado graduates at the ceremony.

The Steelers placed a rare tender on Aaron Rodgers, where he will earn a maximum of $15 million next season. If he chooses not to sign, he cannot play for any other team. At the same time, Tomlin told NBC that he expects his former QB to return to the team.

Younghoe Koo’s missed kick ended up giving a fan a seizure. It saved the man’s life after a diagnosis revealed he had a tumor in his brain. Ravens fans also nearly had a seizure when they learnt the franchise signed Diego Pavia to a 3-year deal before even throwing a ball at his scheduled tryout.
