What would you invest in?
 

I have $250,000 to invest for income. I'm 63, keeping lots of cash on hand, own my home, not working and have no income currently. My expenses are minimal, around $1800 month. What would you invest in? can play with $75000 in high risk, the rest medium risk.

I have my bond investments in three Vanguard index mutual funds:

Vanguard Short Term Bond Index Fund, current yield is 1.49 percent
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund, current yield is 2.06 percent
Vanguard High Yield Corporate Bond Index Fund, current yield is 4.14 percent

Obviously, the more you deposit into the high yield fund, the higher the risk and the more chance for a higher return. But, it has been a very good fund over the years.

Microsoft, Apple and Qyld. Writes covered calls against top quality stocks. Likely within 10 percent of a bottom

Several bond funds with good performance.

Would not come to a place like this for investment help though.

Freeze dried meals, nuclear bunkers, and munitions!:icon_wink:

your health.

Sand bunker rake manufactures. Forecast future sales increase…..:icon_wink:

On a serious note, Keep an eye on MMM: good PE, solid Div ratio, hitting recent lows. Downside, 2022 may be a slow year less N95 sales but still profitable at around $10+/Share. Potential liabilities with recent ear plug cases. "Suspect" that will fade from the spotlight, but not sure.

PFAS is a bigger negative for MMM.

In the past 3 months i have bought Energy stocks especially Devon..if the Russians invade then the price of a barrel of oil and natural gas will go up even more
Devons break even price on a barrel of oil is $30 bucks..Right now the price of oil is around 90 a barrel and if their is trouble in Ukraine the price of a barrel of oil can easily go yo 100 or more
