I don't know, the S&P 500 is a pretty good bet:

It comes down a little but it always goes back up. If it goes down you
should hold it unless you invested money that you need... which of
course as you state is a terrible idea.

Guessing the bottom of this trough would be a really good move but right
now looks like a good time to buy if you're going to be holding for a
couple years.
