    What are the best lump sum short(ish) term shelter and gain investments for late 2022 and beyond?

    Looks like bonds are gaining some steam? I’d think Money Markets would follow??? Not really seeing precious metal. Blue chips are stagnant and still risky.

    Crypto?

    See my avatar.


    Real Estate???

    Commodities on the 3 month???

    I’m lost. Please help.




    Historically real estate out-performs in a recession. The notable exception being 2008/9 when it was a real estate bubble that popped.

    Hasn't the work from home issue hit commercial real estate pretty hard?
    Yes. However that is already baked into the current price prior to the commencement of the current/immenent recession.

    Is residential facing a bubble? It's debatable. One can make the case rising interest rates will drive down pricing. An alternative case can also be made that in an inflationary environment smart money is in hard-assets. I choose to error on the side that everyone needs a place to live.


    If you believe, like I do, the probability amplitude includes a depression-level event, nothing may be safe.

    Not financial advice, but I'm spreading some fun money to some low float small caps that have high CTB, utilization, and zero option chains. These types of stocks are explosive and MMs have less liquidity without the option chain, so even moderate buying pressure can make these stocks run and run fast. These things can run 15%-20% daily in any direction. On most swings, I allow myself 5-10% downside potential before exiting, on these plays however, I'm willing to go to 40%, but to counter that, I also only put half the normal investment in, so my actual dollar loss is about the same.

    I’m waiting for the bottom. Always the better play.

    You're not far off. The difference here being, if you play the right signals you can be more like the house, and have the odds slightly/moderately in your favor.

    I-bonds are around 10% but you're limited to $10k.

    I got a random 6k from the irs the other day. No idea what for? Maybe my 2019 refund I had to send in like 3 times? Odd.

    Put it in the vanguard. Whatever I don't dwell on it
