If you had $x to invest today, what would you buy?

Or would you sit on it?
Time line.Age. Total assets. Etc All come into play

If you have enough to sleep well already then risk on, etc

Half in 3 month CDs, 25% in MM and a quarter in some stock fund like VTI, VT, VOO, SCHD, STK or the like accepting it will be down in 6 months +

Decades, early 40s, >$1M. Not concerned about risk. A little concerned about timing tbh.

Just looked at some old IRAs we have and noted cash balances….
 
Keep that cash on the sidelines.
I have t looked into those accounts in a while. Didn’t realize there was cash there. Usually set everything up to drip and something changed.

Was thinking that, but figured the blog might think otherwise since the money just sits for naught. Could at least buy CIK and pull some divvy…

I think SPYD is a good choice .... pays a 5% quarterly dividend with a low .07 expense ratio

Spud has a nice dividend but CIK is higher. Value loss due to rising rates probably well priced in now.

SPYG also outperforms over the long run. Of course it’s kind of dumb to be overweight with like five tech companies.
 
Buy into a couple funds of your choice very slowly
Well I’m sitting on that for later. This question was for smaller cash positions I didn’t realize existed until recently because they’re in old IRAs that I dont check much.

How much cash that was collecting dust ?

Just as an aside here are my top 5 current largest gainers, across all my accounts - maybe you will find them interesting (options not listed)

TRIN
CSWC

Starting to see a trend?

My current portfolio is like a dumbbell. Seen that expression before?

Sure. But that’s notionally your bond portfolio, not high yielding securities, unless I’m missing something (eg, the details of the tickers and their holdings)

FSK looks interesting if I want to chase yields.

True enough, in a linear viewpoint - but most I have not owned that long and up 50-75%, That's not a gain all from DRIPing. It's a combination of price growth and DRIP. All in an increasing rate environment.

See my post 2101 above. It can definitely go either direction but the marginal cost of production of huge places like the Bakken and Russia are at least $55 - so as price declines volume shrinks up.

XOM is my fav. I would be buying more but I own too much already.
