here is the situation, early 30s, i have about 12k in bonds, 10k in a variety of etf and mutual funds, and 20k in some blue chip stock(t, vz, cvx, rdsb, csco, aapl).

i have about 10k cash that i would like to move out of my savings account. i would like to have this cash ready for the next big dip in the market(buy low). what would be the best option for this 10k right now, with my only goal to keep it liquid and beat inflation.

Best advice?

Review the millions of threads on here with similar scenarios/naivety to your own. This is a near-daily thread: you have modest coin and no idea what to do with it. You are requesting people to repeat insight posted countless times.

So many plebes eager to just take take take from MT.

If I knew the answer to this question, Warren Buffett would have to liquidate Berkshire Hathaway in order to purchase that information from me.

Hindsight, etc but $10k of AR15s, accessories, and ammo purchased before Sandy Hook would have sold for a handsome profit 1-2 months later.

This scare is starting to subside, but there will be another in the future. Just saying.

That sounds awfully morbid to invest money in stocking up on guns in hopes that a shooting will allow you to sell them for more.

No one is hoping for a shooting. However the threat of Congressional action to outlaw certain weapons is always present, just in varying degrees.

My point is that one could happily invest the entire amount in quality firearms and ammo and really never lose that money, more than likely increasing the amount over time regardless of what else happens. The risk is that the guns owned would be outlawed completely, however there is some risk in pretty much any investment that will yield a return.

Bump

This is actually a very important part of the equation....house debt with a dirt cheap current rate is fine....throwing 10K at an avg size mortgage obviously wouldn't do too much for you, well most people....but if you have any auto or revolving debt....take the Dave Ramsey approach and pay on that.

500% + in profit margin was a great investment if you had the foresight to stock up pre panic. like you said it will happen again. I'm already investing for that SHTF scenario. :coughconspiracytheorists:
