If you were going to have around a million USD to invest this month, where would you put it? Already somewhere between coast FI and FI but will coast another 5-10 years working enough to cover lifestyle.

Money market and see how the market responds to the US trade war before committing?

VTSAX and forget about it?

International index fund, as the rest of the world is probably going to shrug at the US provokation and shift trade away from the states?

Not interested in direct real estate investing or other ventures outside of index investing.

EUAD.
Europe isn’t gonna start buying American again anytime soon.

We are past the point of return at this point.

I would keep a much larger than normal emergency fund, and maybe dollar cost average the rest into a well diversified portfolio.

I would DCA that money in, a little at a time. I’m thinking $100K right now, another $100K every 7-10 days.

They always say keep buying the dip – I’ve heard that the last several years.

Anyway my FA called today to get my approval to buy some Microsoft and Google.

Is it all long term money? If so then why would you invest it any differently than the rest of your long term money?

Is it short term money?

Then why would you invest it differently than your current short term money’s allocation?

Same as everything else. 60% VTSAX, 20% small cap, 20% international
Or thereabouts
