Hypothetically, you have $200K to invest into something. What would you put it into?

Depends on risk and time, but a mix of very stable treasury bills and something tied to the S&P 500, probably.

So a significant improvement over your current rate with really no effort or cost. Based on your other comment, you're seeking growth. Personally I would put 40% in VOO, 40% in QQQ, and either leave the remainder in SPAXX to serve as a cash reserve for either unexpected expenses or as dry powder to buy a dip in VOO or QQQ, or do that with 15% and buy Bitcoin with the remaining 5%. I'm not a financial advisor for anyone but myself and the above may be terrible advise, but it's what I would do. |

I’d buy a condo somewhere that I would want to vacation and have property management rent it out so it pays itself off and then go enjoy it. You’re taking depreciation expense as long as it’s rented, and the rent should pay it off.

Depends what stage of life you are in. I’m retired and have plenty of income and am safely invested in the market. Just trying to maintain my wealth and grow a little and pay myself.
I do have about $250k in roll-over CDs, about $50k in each just in case I ever need some immediate cash. Rates are pretty good right now. If I was much younger I would be more aggressive and keep it in the stock market. We all have different needs so I am doing pretty well just treading the water. |

If you don’t need it for 10 years then low fee sp500 fund. Investing is a long term thing. 5-10-30 year thing. Max out other tax deferred options first. Then taxable. If you think long term it’s not hard. The only hard part is what’s most tax efficient, long term. |

60% of it into FXAIX then let the rest sit in a money market and earn 5% while I look for preferred stocks or tasty dividend aristocrats that will justify the risk by giving returns in the high single digits.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rustler: It's money set aside to invest. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Rustler: Originally Posted By car_wash_guy: Is this your life cash savings ( besides investments) or play money? It's money set aside to invest. @Rustler We are not trying to pry, but we need way more information. 1) Your age and at what age you would like to retire.<—This will change how aggressive you want to be with your money. 2) How much do you have invested in a tax-advantaged retirement accounts ie. 401k/403b, Roth IRA, etc.? 3) How much do you have invested in retail accounts already? This is non-retirement accounts. 4) If your goal is not to use the money when you retire, but rather to buy/start a business in a few years (which you mentioned), you will be much less aggressive with your investments. Vanguard and others are yielding ~ 5% right now in their Money Market accounts. This is about as safe as you can get while keeping the money very liquid. It’s not keeping up with inflation, but you will have to accept more risk if you want a better yield. https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/profile/vmfxx#overview  |

Regardless, it seems safe enough, and more importantly, You buy stocks directly out of it, and your sales proceeds and dividends go directly back into it. No hassle. You just earn 4.95 or whatever the going rate is. Schwab doesn’t do it that way. You have to buy and sell the MM and it’s a royal PITA. Whether or not you want to buy VOO or whatever, the money is There, ready to go, if we ever get the long awaited correction. You can even put in orders at say -20% that will just sit there good until cancelled if the market doesn’t drop. - I just noticed, one of my other accounts uses FDRXX. I’m not sure if one is better than the other, but the important thing is to get yourself earning the extra 2.25% interest right away. Every day you don’t, is just pissing money away. -fidelity should give me a bonus, but they don’t. If you ask for it, they may be willing to throw you $2-300 as an incentive. Make the phone call, they are easy to work with. They deal with new investors everyday. |

First thing is get it into something like “My Banking Direct” and at least earn 5.5% APY until you figure out something better.
After that, consider an aggressive S&P500 fund if you have the time and risk tolerance to let it ride. |
