I put a bunch of cash from selling my Condo in Dec into 2.5% FDIC insured CD's at my credit union. Only penalty for early withdraw is months interest. Had I put it in the S&P would be looking at >~$50k profit ytd....so clearly I don't know what I'm doing.
I think the only thing preventing a major correction is everybody is expecting one.
I always make sure to buy the max allowed amount of I-bonds for the year, big fan of those, thanks Al Gore. Can use tax free for kids University. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/seriesibond.asp

If it’s for college I’d put some into a tax beneficial 529 for each child to the max annual if you can. The rest, an FDIC insured instrument as mentioned above make sure you limit each to the max insured value.

This is a concern of mine. It isn't really enough money to make a huge difference in my life but if I make the right choices it could grow into an amount that could make a huge difference. So I am hesitant to just park it somewhere and lose 2-3 years of growth. However, the rest of my money is tied up in real estate and a 457b which holds the typical index funds. I feel lucky to be cashing in on this property now when there is so much uncertainty but don't want to regret the choices I make with it. I will probably pay off the few debts that we have and park some of it somewhere at 2+% and find something else that perhaps earns more. I already have a 529 account for my kids which they won't need for 10-12 years.

...Oh, and for those wondering why the Fed did a repo, the answer is simple: it did not want to launch QE just yet. But make no mistake, once repo is insufficient, the Fed will have no choice but to escalate to the next step which is open market purchases.
Which brings us to the bigger question of how long such overnight repos will satisfy the market, and how long before the next repo rate spike prompts the Fed to do the inevitable, and restart QE.
At least president Trump will be delighted...

Good (for me) to see rates move lower after fed meeting. It won’t take much to retest the previous lows in treasury. I don’t have an exit plan yet..
