Do some serious homework on the markets before putting that 500k on the line. Some, but not all, and probably not half of the stocks in the S&P 500 will continue to gain this year. Bonds have run up recently, so they also have more immediate risk of decline / low yield. Also, consider things not so obvious: option selling strategies. Warren Buffet does it, so smart is as smart does.

Yes, tempting to hold in cash and wait for the market correction - if it ever comes.

The market is fine. There is no recession here. SPY support is $249.57 right now.

Inflation eats cash.

Depends on your event horizon.

If you are planning to invest for retirement, then I would put it into a collection of Growth funds.

If your objective is to get a constant payout, then some dividend based fund.

If you want to throw it away: 1) send to me :) 2) buy a business you think you know but do not really. Everyone thinks they can run a restaurant. It is the winner for failed businesses.

For anyone looking at the statistics here.

BB never met the entry point.

HD did 150%.

AAPL is up 60%.
