A contradiction has occured on this question:
Where should a young student put their money?
I left a comment:
Unfortunately there's no right answer to this. You could invest in nearly anything. It all depends on what you enjoy, what your goals are, what type of risk you're willing to take and all sorts of other things. I'd also tell you to not ask for such generalized advice from essentially anonymous people on the internet (myself included). Set some goals, figure out a path you want to take, then come back to ask questions about that path. – Ender Jun 18 at 2:06
That comment received 6 upvotes. Along with that comment, I voted to close (flagged to close since I don't have the rep to vote yet) as too broad / primarily opinion based and that was declined.
Could anyone explain why? I see on this exchange a bit more leeway is given then on other exchanges, but this particular question seems incredibly broad even for here.
