Am I insane that right now cash inflows I have are piling up because I can't see any smart place to put money if I plan on it being there for a year? (i.e. I'm not one of you wacky day traders. heh)

You're roughly 20% discount (SPY) from the highs. Can we go lower? Certainly. The trick is, not to try and bottom tick the market. Scale in appropriately. If you haven't put money to work yet at these levels, you should have a think about how often you get 20% discounts to market. By all means, leave some dry powder on the side in case we want to head lower.

Bigger picture is, we are far closer to terminal (Fed funds) rate than we started the tightening mess a year ago. There can always be some macro news to drag us lower, but we can also equally just print some good CPI news next week / next month and we start grinding back up on talks of Fed easing.

*edit* I did just catch you specifically mentioned a year. At least a year (or longer)? Or just 1 year? Because that is certainly a more difficult question and definitely need to ask yourself how much risk you are open to. JEPI has been a favorite here and Sanrith Descartes Sanrith Descartes / Blazin Blazin can speak on entries here. I think the steal of the year was getting in when it hit $50 back in October. (JEPI currently pays roughly 11+% annual div return, paying monthly dividends).

Some hefty price cuts to Model 3 and Model Y in China and South Korea. (13.5% and 10% respectively)

Further fueling rumors of falling demand. Tesla down 5% overnight back to lows.

Assuming I read your post correctly, that the cash will be for a year+ then I agree with Jysin Jysin , the Market is discounted and put some cash to work. Over a long time horizon by on pullbacks and sit back and wait.

If you mean only a year max, then again I agree with Jysin that its more tricky. JEPI has indeed returned well for a low beta instrument. Normally I would piss on bonds but right now a bond or CD for a year might be a good investment (3-4% return-ish). Very low risk.

Fed has stated wage gains as a primary (current) driver of inflation. I am sure this is why market has popped. This is good news for Fed, bad for employees.

Anyone done any research on the GEHC spinoff? Its a profitable segment and I like the space. I am just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on where valuation will end up in the next couple of quarters.

In complex markets no one thing is the only thing. Does lower than expected inventories negate very mild and warm weather across Europe . Think how easy things would be if they were as binary as you present. There is nothing to figure out, the net aggregate opinion of all market participants weighing all data on all time frames to find a price

If you're only looking for a year, max out the I-Bonds which are paying almost 7% right now.

After that, I'd say there are a lot of other options like bonds and CD's which, with interest rates higher than they've been in forever, should give you a decent return.

If you're going longer than a year, well, everything is on sale.

META pushing up against the 100-DMA. First time it has hit it in over a year. If it clears it, there is clear sailing up a good 20% to the 200-DMA.

AMD is testing $60. If it fails to hold it starts to get into the interesting range again. I like it around $52-$53.
