Countless studies have shown that passive investment is superior to active investment (stock picking, market timing), no matter the current overall economic climate.

Put your cash into renewables like solar energy. I've got about USD$20k just in CSIQ.

Last month I bought 7k worth of SBE.WT which is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that's looking for a energy provider to buy out for public listing. It's gone up 45% since.

are u holding long term?

Listen to wave_length he knows what he is talking about. Gordonxxx also knows what he is talking about, and he tends to chime in on these things too.

If you can put this cash away for the long haul, I would consider tax sheltered options like a Roth IRA or a 401k.

will do, but what does world ETF means? cant find it any exchange

If you’re talking about the current price of a certain ETF, that's not what I meant. I was talking about the TER (total expense ratio) of what you pay for the management of the fund.

Thanks, my ability to give advice for US brahs ends on the topic of 401k, Roths and similar vehicles though since we don't have them here.

ETF, although actually meaning something else, is used as a synonym for passively managed funds also called index funds. They try to stay as close as possible to an index like the Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500.

As I wrote above, an ETF that follows the MSCI World index and has a TER < 0.3. With 20K, I would stick to one ETF. If you later invest more, you can add an MSCI Emerging Markets ETF with 25% of your portfolio. If you e.g. invest 100K, I would put 75K into World and 25K into Emerging Markets. Just add to that whenever you have cash to invest so that the 75/25% ratio is kept as well as possible.

I'm not familiar with US sites dedicated to finding ETFs but there's a good German one that can be switched to English: justetf dot com.

Edit: just saw you're in Norway, lol, thought you're a US brah.

I wouldn't recommend any of the FANG stocks right now. They are inflated by the stimulus. The bubble will pop. TSLA and NIO had a great run up, incredible actually. I totally missed it. But it's too late now, they are wayyyy overbought. If you're good with holding for awhile, then I'd wait until TSLA and NIO and the FANG stocks have their correction and then you can get in, but they are all way overbought right now. Their prices are high because of hope, but their products haven't increased in value, so the price is inflated and false. Safe stocks to get into RIGHT now are stocks that STILL have not recovered from coronadump of March 2020. These stocks did NOT get inflated by stimulus, and are undervalued. If you believe that the US will continue to function as normal, then these stocks will go back to normal and maybe even grow in the future: oil and airlines. Oil stocks have already has a 50% runup (KOS, CPE) so get in quick. They will definitely return to at least 70-80% of precoronadump, which entails perhaps a 300% gain within 6 months. I don't know when airline stocks will return back to normal, but they will. Some places still have travel restrictions, but it's unlikely those restrictions will stay in place forever. The only thing I would worry about is that now lockdowns have become a new trend and a future pandemic every few years is going to cause a dump. Good buying opportunities, but would be good to take profits before the dump. BTC.X and mining stocks are going to be huge as well. I wouldn't rush into BTC.X because it's overbought right now, but they have sharp corrections during which you can get in on.
