It’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I watched it recently after people here were raving about it in some thread. About 20 minutes into the movie my wife was like, WTF are you watching this shit? I couldn’t answer, ha. Right before she said that I was thinking how I wasted my money renting it. Frat boy shit.
Well shot, well acted: sure. Beyond that I have no idea why people like the characters.

It really isn't a movie, it's better understood as a play that was put on screen. It's a character piece, a small slice of weird situation. And yeah, you are absolutely not supposed to like anyone, there is no hero, no true main character you fall for.

If I stuck with it and watched the whole thing, yeah, most likely I’d get the appeal of it all (not saying I’d actually like it though) and understand what the writer was trying to say, but I really fucking hated the first 20 minutes. I didn’t give it a chance at all. And I’m fine with that.

Still no one with the balls to play in the beyond meat trade. I thought when it retraced from 150 or so it was lights out and the shorts would pile in, but it hit 200 today.

Where would you put 50% of your portfolio now if you wanted to keep it safe(ish) for retirement. Or, at least safe for the next 2yrs (after election cycle). I'd like to lock up some of these gains. This is stuck in my 401k options
Bonds? - US or Global are my options
Treasury Money Market?
"Stable Value"?

2y notes still offer decent yield

Have you been rebalancing every year? That is probably the right compromise for locking in gains vs trying to time the market which almost always fails and leaves more money on the table.
Assuming you are 2 years to retirement, you are already probably pretty close to 60/40 stocks/bonds but you still have a 20+ year timeframe of investing to manage. I especially wouldn't try and get cute that close to retirement either.
Otherwise US treasuries would get my vote as well. I would prefer muni bonds but you are working in a 401k so no real benefit there.Live Free or Die

54yrs old - could retire once I figure medical out - but enjoy the job and the benefits
Have been on top of it, so re-balancing as needed. Currently have 30% in company stock (big bank, flat lined price, but good dividends) and only 5% in bonds (safety net only), rest is a small mix of various market funds (S&P, NASDAQ, International, etc.)
Thinking of going 20% in company stock - 50% in US Treasuries and 30% in general market mix

Is the stock market going to tank?
“Treasury” is a broad spectrum. With inverted yield curve and your stated need (two years) I don’t see any benefit to owning the long end for you.
My opinion is that short rates are going to fall, perhaps a lot, so a two year note might provide a pretty decent return.

Im heavy in bond fund with duration at 5 and 7 years which is relatively long. I’m sticking with them but would go shorter with any substantial new money.

I'm personally pretty wary of putting 20-30% in one company, but the dividend play on a blue chip is probably the best way to do it if you do.

There is no way I would ever have 20% of my portfolio tied up in a single company, especially the company that I work for. It's pretty much the worst thing you can do, especially that close to retirement.

This X2. I also would not go 95/5 stock/bond allocation.
YMMV obviously.
For those planning on retirement soon, you may consider the "bond tent" theory - Google it - which is basically to start with a higher than generally-recommended bond allocation (eg maybe 25/75 stock/bond), and gradually reallocate over 10 years or so, to a generally recommended allocation (eg maybe 50/50). Theory is to try to avoid a bad sequence of returns early in retirement.
No guarantees in any investment strategy obviously.
