There is an old saying, "Never try to catch a falling knife". With $200k to work with diversification is something to think about. You might start with 25% in a good mutual fund, 25% in bonds and the rest in money market. Pull from the money market as the overall picture becomes less volatile. Just what I would do, there are lots of opinions.
