In this market is it still smart to VTI and chill or even more conservative? Tbonds? We already did ibonds for this year

If unsure then always money market or ultra short bonds

How much risk are you ok with?
I'm usually ok losing 50% of my portfolio. But most people I know are ok only losing 30%

I meant VTI/fund tied to broad market. Eventually (long term view) we should get back to the same point and surpass it, plus accumulating dividends in the meantime. You wouldn't lose unless you sell

If you may need the money in the next year or three then HYSA or tbills probably makes the most sense. I have no big purchases planned so I'm about 80% DCAing as usual each paycheck but shifted 20% to tbills which is new. Ibonds already maxed and healthy emergency fund already in place.

POV: 2 and s half months into a new job: position internal sales support. Request of SM to find all potential customers in 2 main areas of sales and send them the information of companies name as well as contact name and sort the info from most important company to least, all from scratch.
The SM knows I am new to the industry and have no previous experience in it.
Is this something normal to ask to have done? Is it normal to give a few days to hand in the requested information?
Thanks!

Stupid question but I gotta ask. I’ve got like 30k sitting in a checking account, I feel like I should push it into VTI and forget about it, but for some reason I feel like a downturn is on the horizon and I don’t want to lose a chunk of it. Already have plenty in emergency fund, no debt. Already bought my 10k of iBonds.

(1/2) As my first full year of practice comes to a close, it looks like my pre-tax salary for this fiscal year year will be just short of $400k — after year end bonuses are distributed next month (the 400k figure also includes my low base, but 75% of it reflects bonus). As of now, before my bonus has come in, I’ve got 193k student loans, 60k in investments, and 20k in savings. How much of the bonus should I use to pay student loans, and how much should I contribute to my investment portfolio?
