Hello Patnet,

Say you have $100K-150K cash to invest today. Let's say the investment period is 5+yrs.

Real estate and the stock market equities are bloated at historical highs.

Where would you put your money today?

I'm still fully invested in stox/bonds 80/20. I'm waiting for an exit in a year or so.

But at this point no more money goes into the anything.

I personally would stay in cash now untill oportunity arrives.

That's what I've been doing the last several months. Been reviewing if there might be something better.

What do you plan to do with it after 5 years?


Reassess. If no better options at that time, then keep doing what I had been doing during the 5yrs up to that point?

Secret rainy day account in case my wife goes crazy at some point.

You will be approached by a man with a Nigerian accent, whose uncle owns the land that where the nuggets were found. You must wire transfer the money immediately to the account he will provide you. Great riches await!

Real estate is bloated at historical highs in some places. There are some great deals to be had out there if you look hard enough. I'm bailing out Vegas which is getting way too frothy and buying elsewhere. Just bought 2 houses for 100k (not 100k each, 100k for both) in a mixed neighbourhood in the rust belt. Not high crime. Both came with stable long term tenants. Gross rent 950 each. Net 600 to 650.

Energy is the worst performing sector right now. I think it will change eventually and it will be the best performing.
Vanguard energy fund for long term potential and discounted value right now. But off course I would put only maybe 20% of my cash available.

gold if you are easily manipulated.

Educate yourself in niche products that appeal to you.
Then buy low sell high.
