Latest Investment Mix, October 2023
Before today, my investment mix was:
- Index Funds – 39% (goal 50%)
- Individual Stocks – 3% (goal 5%)
- High Div ETFs – 15% (goal 25%)
- Bond ETFs – 5% (goal 10%)
- Cash/Money Markets – 37% (goal 15%)
I didn’t get into individual stocks the way that I thought I might. I got distracted by options. So, I am effectively playing with Paypal and Alibaba right now before settling down again and getting into stable long-term stocks.
But based on my insights from the other day, where cash is a terrible long-term investment, I am once again pushing almost all of my cash holdings into the S&P 500 or international stock index funds.
My current investment mix is as follows:
- Index Funds – 44% (goal 50%)
- Individual Stocks – 2% (goal 5%)
- High Div ETFs – 14% (goal 25%)
- Bond ETFs – 5% (goal 10%)
- Cash/Money Markets – 35% (goal 15%)
