What % of your portfolio is cash?

30% is now in cash. It was 100% in the market. Decided last week to sell off some investments that I didn’t love to deploy elsewhere if the market shifts down, I’m fairly bullish but it was banging and took some profit.

30%+ …
Considering I’m getting a safe 5.5% in money market, I’m leaning toward sitting out election year…

Less than yesterday. Buying on down days, what a novel idea.

So if you have $1 mil in investments you have 300,000 in cash?

Almost none. I have almost all of my dividends automatically reinvested.

Maybe 15% of my portfolio is in cash? Any leftover money that we might have after bills and retirement is going into a high-yield savings account at the moment. But that cash is earmarked for emergency fund, buying a new car, vacation, and a few other upcoming planned purchases.
Call me lazy, but I'm still pushing investment money into total stock market mutual funds and not really doing much reallocation anymore. My line of thinking is if the money lands in an investment account, there isn't any intent to touch it for at least 5-years (15-25 years if its retirement focused).

The market only goes up a few more days than it goes down, even in good years. It is important to be in on those days. Through the first week of November last year, there were only 11 more up days than down days last year (113 up, 102 down), but the S&P 500 was higher by 14% year to date.
But, with 5.5% guaranteed returns, the risk of potential losses is outweighed for many. You can almost beat inflation with no risk, so large amounts of cash right now is pretty typical for conservative investors looking for an entry point.
I have less than 2% in cash.

Nada. Rocking out with my cock out at 100% equities.

Of my investments, I was 100% stock ETF at the end of 2023. I'm now 67.2% stock ETF and 32.8% bond ETF.
I didn't sell because I was worried about the market. I sold because the algorithm said to sell.

Just looking at retirement and investment brokerage accounts, about 30% is in cash or cash equivalents. But I use the “buying power” of those funds to employ various option strategies within those accounts. Goal is to make 8-10% per year from that. And if it’s a cash secured put that gets assigned, that’s how I’ve typically taken long positions on stocks I don’t mind owning over the past few years.
